ChrisK2793 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 ‘From yesterday to today, all 4 cruises we have booked went from $68/day to now $57/day for the Deluxe Beverage Package ….. for the 2 cruises that are after Black Friday, I wonder if the Black Friday Sale would be even better? I’m going to jump on this price on all of them for now, then cancel and repurchase later if necessary. The UDP has also dropped about 25/person on all 4 of them as well from yesterday’s price.

Yak Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Would you all recommend purchasing the deluxe beverage package at $58 pp/d. How about the unlimited dining package for $28 pp/d? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 58 is a good price, probably the highest price I would considering buying it at. Yak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Also, it's irrelevant what someone else paid for a drink package, because pricing for drink packages vary from ship to ship and sailing to sailing. So it's more important to focus on what is the lowest advertised price for a drink package on your sailing. If you know you want a drink package, book it. Then if there is a price drop, cancel and rebook it immediately. This protects you against a price increase, but you can still take advantage of a price decrease. thehungrymuppet, 0_0, BKauf and 3 others 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Now if RC would throw me a bone and give me a real sale on the Coco Cay Beach Club, since I'm still bitter about not booking it on the first day sailings were bookable for $71 caitlynambrai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! It will be my second cruise ever. My husband and I are excited to sail on a big (and newer/newly amplified) ship like the Oasis because we both have restrictive work schedules so a 7+ day cruise is out of the question. It seems like the Oasis is generally available only for the longer cruises. Needless to say, we’re looking forward to it.

RED5 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 There’s still no Memorial Day sale banner on mine and the prices haven’t changed at all. My dates aren’t until September 2022, is that too far off to be included in this sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanS Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 2 hours ago, sandc4e said: Well, no change in my pricing at all. 71 pppd for beverage package, no thank you. This is what I paid but I feel it is worth it. That is beverage package + wifi. Wifi alone is... $11/device/day. So in theory the drink package is $60 per day. At 10-12 per drink, that is only 5 drinks... I can definitely drink more than 5! I also personally love the idea that I prepay my drinks and while onboard I do not have to worry about the price of each and every drink I purchase. Definitely makes it more "all inclusive" feeling.

I know I've seen it on sale as low as $179 for the week for those ships. You may be better off looking at what specialty restaurants on Allure that interest you and decide if you may be better off buying a 3-night dining package or going ala carte for those that interest you.

I agree, we don't do a dining package since we feel that we've already paid for the food and only eat the included options. Even on "smaller" ships, we have not yet been disappointed and don't feel like we are missing out on anything. Yak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't drink, so we do the Refreshment package to pre-pay for our mocktails, fresh squeezed orange juice, and my "fancy coffee". We've never paid more than $25 pppd for it and it's easy to "break even" even at that price. Most recently we got it for $18pppd which was a steal!

SPS Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hmm, I received 125% OBC for my cancelled cruise planner items in January. The "30% off" price on the drink packages I'm looking at is about 120% (119.86%) of what I had paid for the cancelled cruise. Well played, RC. Way to get most of that money back. They must be looking at my onboard bar purchase history! They know I'm gonna buy it!

JasonOasis Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 For my Symphony of the Seas cruise in October they are charging $58 per day for DBP and $71 per day to combine DBP/VOOM. They are also offering me a $350 dollar onboard credit not sure where the onboard credit came from but I'm all in DBP/VOOM for $71.
