Eaglelover 26 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Over the last several days the DBP on Radiance (Alaska May 2021) has become $43 per day. Is this happening all over the fleet? I, of course, hopped right on that deal. rjac 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jaredhamburg 232 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Sounds like an awesome price. I keep hoping it goes down for my 9 night on Explorer of the Seas ($57/day). Not a bad deal, but there are three non-private island port days, and I worry about drink fatigue....I would jump on it though if it was that cheap for my sailing!

Black Friday sales have been good in the past to get great deals on Cruise Planner items, but who knows what this year will bring. Ogilthorpe and Eaglelover 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My sailing is not until October 2021, so I will see what Labor Day, Black Friday, and (insert made-up holiday here) sales bring. We have two rooms and two people who drink, so we can bring up to 4 bottles of wine if it stays too expensive (based on my estimation of value). No matter what, I am having a Grey Goose screwdriver during the much delayed sail away! I think once cruising starts up again, there will be so many happy, happy people!

I cancelled and re-purchased and today it's back to $61. Strike while the iron's hot Eaglelover, WAAAYTOOO and SpeedNoodles 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baked Alaska 1,256 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 When we sailed on Radiance last summer (Alaska) the DBP I believe was around $43/pp/pd. That was a great price, however, you may not drink as much (alcohol anyway) as you would on a non-Alaskan sailing (if that is what you're doing). Alaska is very port intensive. Just some thoughts.

Pooch 512 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 My March 21 rhapsody sailing has had the DBP go from $61 to $46 every three weeks almost like clockwork. $61 off sale, couple weeks later $46 on sale. This has been going on for several months. I am in no hurry to give RCCL more of my money until I have more concrete information that we will actually sail.

Agreed, (we're doing the 9 night Vancouver - return) but even though we don't drink a lot, a glass of wine with a meal, select coffee and juice and water and I'm happy to not pay the full $! I"m even going to try some of those craft breweries... not save it up for the ship! Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RWDW1204 497 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Brilliance of the Seas May 21, we got DBP for $46. Reduced from $61 a few weeks ago. Just need to keep checking every so often, and keep up with the boards. cruisellama, Eaglelover and SpeedNoodles 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cub 23 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Serenade sailing 7/11/21 DBP was $40 last week. Snagged it!! It was even cheaper than the $45 I paid on the cancelled June 2020 trip. WAAAYTOOO, SpeedNoodles, KristiZ and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melmar02 1,195 Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 The DBP was on sale for $43 a few times on the Liberty 11/1/20 sailing. Our replacement on Liberty 10/31/21 has been on sale for $46. I'm going to wait for Black Friday to see if it goes down a little bit more, but I expect $46 is most likely the low for that sailing since day 1 is Halloween.

Fairlynew 351 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I saw a new high for the Deluxe Beverage Package today. It is $84 pp/pd on an 8 day sailing on Allure in January. I have always thought the DBP was a good value, even at $52 or so, but I cannot imagine getting my money's worth at $84. I like the freedom to be able to grab a fun drink anywhere on board and I do drink a lot of bottled water, but I cannot figure out a way to break even (or even come close) at $84 per day. We are in a GS, so I will get extra exercise popping up to the 17th floor unless the price comes down. WAAAYTOOO and Baked Alaska 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they are going to significantly raise single drink prices. I have been my cost analysis on $12 drinks because that is the amount the packages covers and is the basic drink price. If single drink prices go to $15, then a higher price package might make more sense. Baked Alaska and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
