Matt F Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Ok guys anyone have experience with this? I'm 14 days out for Navigator 3-day and the Royal App Daily Planner just updated with the event schedule. I noticed an event called "Raise a glass to big savings: BOGO 1/2 Off Deluxe". Description says "Enjoy your favorite drinks all cruise long. Buy one Deluxe Beverage Package for only $89 + 18% gratuity per day and second one half off. Visit any bar to purchase. Offer only available today." I've already purchased for my wife and I at $100 + 18%, is it safe to cancel through cruise planner and just do it on the ship?

Ampurp85 Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 You should check CP and see if the DX has gone down. Based on your insert, I believe it has. There is no guarantee that purchasing it on the ship will be cheaper. I can honestly say that it will always be cheaper beforehand.

Matt F Posted May 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 I was mistaken in that the amount I paid was $76 + 18% which is the current price in CP. The part that is interesting is that it says the second one is half off. If this is accurate then for 2 people it would be less on the ship. 76 + 76 = 152 89 + 44.50 = 133.50 This would be $55 less for 2 people for the 3 days. Probably not worth the risk, because I do understand that it has been said that it is always cheaper beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They frequently tell you a price saying its 2nd 50% off, but the price it shows already figures that for 2 people. For example, the $133.50 price above might be advertised as $67pp. So if the cruise planner is showing you $76pp and also claiming 2nd 50% off, then it's assuming the 1st price is $101 and second is $51 for the $76 average. If it truly is going to be $89 for 1st and 50%off 2nd on the ship, then it would be worth it on the ship. Even if you get on the ship and its $101 for 1st and 50% second, you are no worse off than your current pricing. The assumption is you are not diamond or above for C&A, because if you are, those perks should be part of your calculations as well.
