Bowen Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I always get the soda and stream package for my kids (and my mom) for our cruises, but I can never remember what a good price is. I am seeing now $21 per day for our 7 day out of Galveston in December. Is that a good price or should I be looking for a different price point to hit before I buy? Thanks!

Matt Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I'd argue it doesn't matter. If you know you want to buy it, go ahead and buy it. If there's a better price anytime between now and your cruise, you can cancel and rebook without any penalty. Booking now also protects you if the price goes up. 4ensic, teddy, PPPJJ-GCVAB and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Just for comparison...I have a 4 night cruise coming up in November and the soda/internet price is $23.00 (I am on Oasis - not sure if that makes a difference). I agree with Matt...purchase it now. No telling what will happen with pricing going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 The voom and soda package on my 4 night Indy is also $23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicDay Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 $23 for my Ovation cruise 8/27/21 Seems like $21 is a "better" rate I just booked some items I really want, if price goes down I'll rebook Just remember to rebook first before you cancel existing one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is true, then it is better to call Royal and have the rep cancel and rebook for you especially if you booked something that has a time scheduled or maybe a cabana (with limited numbers). If the cruise planner does , in fact, require you to cancel first...at least when using the rep there is a better chance of saving what you purchased.

RyanS Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 It is a good price. Internet alone on sale is about $10-$11 and a soda on the ship is roughly $3-4. You also get the cup to use at the soda machine which has about 100 flavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baked Alaska Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 That would not be a good price/day on any of my sailings. I wouldn't go with a drink/voom soda package. How many devices? It is actually cheaper to buy the soda package separately from the Voom/beverage packages on all three of the sailings we have booked. During a sale, you'll see similar savings. You're being charged a convenience fee for not having to do the math. I hope these comparisons help. Since you didn't say how many devices, I'll go with middle of the road and say 3: Sailing one (Oasis December 26th, 2021): or combine a la carte without gratuities added in, a la carte per person/per day: $15.56 (cheaper by $52.08 for 7 days) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sailing two (Radiance July 22, 2022): or combine a la carte without gratuities added in, per person/per day: $18.16 (cheaper by $33.88 for 7 days) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sailing three (Harmony Dec 18, 2022): or combine a la carte without gratuities added in, per person/per day: $19.66 (cheaper by $32.04 for 6 days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
