Rocktheseas Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 My husband does not like to purchase drink packages prior to the cruise, he prefers to purchase on board. They have a 20% of Ultimate - Premium - Select special offer online. But are they also offering on ships? If not it may urge him to purchase sooner. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegal2539 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 There is usually some kind of discount, 20%, off of drink packages the first day onboard. The thing I don't like is that I have to wait in line to sign up for it, when I can do it online, no waiting, and I know it is paid for before I sail.

Rocktheseas Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thank you! I thought there was some special once you got onboard! We are sailing on the Oasis July 9th Eastern and last year there was a deal if you purchased the Ultimate you received the Royal Replenish and a bottle wine! WooHoo! I do not think there will be a offer that good again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I've never seen discounts on the drink package once onboard. Certainly not on day one. Granted, YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsyrob Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks for posting this thread. I just canceled my drink packages and bought them again for my July 4 Majesty sailing. Saved me $24. That's not bad for a 5 minute phone call. Its not 20% but every little bit helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Going to echo Matt, I have never seen a day one discount on the drink package. Sounds like there are some "experimental" options with drink cards, discounts, etc. that are at the ship staff discretion to roll out later in the cruise but I would be shocked to see a day 1 discount.

Todd Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I've never seen discounts on the drink package once onboard. Certainly not on day one. Granted, YMMV. I also never seen a discount on drink packages on the first day..... Not saying it could not have happen but not on the cruises I have done on Royal.

mom2mybugs Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 The 20 percent almost roped me in, but with a 4 port cruise, paying the amount of 4 drinks instead of 5 a day still isn't worth it! Really crossing my fingers for the drink card! Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really crossing my fingers for the drink card! Jane I've played that game too. On my recent Navigator, we lucked out with the drink card. For my upcoming Freedom cruise, I bit the bullet and bought a drink package. RobWhatley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
