Dimension Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 With the price of the drink packages going up I wanted to see who has the highest price. Here is mine for a 4 night on Allure for November next year Can anyone beat this? It seems that I am always the lucky one and have to always pay top dollar for the drink package no matter how far out my sailing is. cruisellama and foxrunner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Ours fluctuates between $73 & $78 before gratuities. That would put our 8 day 3 person total at over $2000. Too much for us. If the summer sales don’t get a lot better, we will pay as we go. Dimension, WAAAYTOOO, foxrunner and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spang1974 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 12 night Cruise to the Canaries from Southampton is currently $82.60pppd. The lowest I saw it for was $61.65pppd. Dimension and foxrunner 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Forlenza Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 For our sailing in 5 days. We don't purchase this package, but figured I would add mine. Ship: Allure Dimension and foxrunner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked all 6 of my upcoming sailings that are listed in my Cruise Planner and congratulations, you win! Even my furthest out booked cruise, which is a Royal Caribbean Blog Group Cruise (and they should know better), is only at $80.99. foxrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Yes you win, even my Oasis 2023 sailing has the DX at $75.99, it was $95 a few days ago. foxrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristiZ Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Must be an Allure thing -- my 4-day on Allure over Christmas 2023 is also 83.99 right now. foxrunner and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFishII Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 I am also on Allure in June for a 6 day cruise. The drink package is buy one and get the second at 50% off. That brings the price down from $98 to $72.99. That is a total of $875.88. foxrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimension Posted May 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Great the one time I do not want win a contest and what happens I win. For some reason all my cruises are right around the same $84 mark no matter how close or how far out the cruise is booked. foxrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchy Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Jeepers: $98 per person per day (plus 18% gratuity) on Oasis June 16, 2023. Do they think people will really buy it at that price? interestingly, you can get DBP + Voom for only $96. Go figure! foxrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think everyone should hold off on beverage packages for 2023 cruises. Right now, they have set the prices at a high point to gauge what consumers are willing to pay. I can't imagine many of you want to pay $80+ for the DX. So, I am sure they will decrease, as long as people don't pay the high prices. KristiZ, Kirsten, foxrunner and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Ireland Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Wow, all of yours seem very expensive in comparison to mine. I'm paying €42 per day for my deluxe drinks package. Leaving on 19/09/22 from Rome to the Greek Isles. I got that rate after I called the company to book they cruise and they added it to the rate. When I look at the online offer, it's a lot more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJ777 Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Well, there was this one time we actually got the DBP for a ridiculously cheap price! Apparently, someone at RC made a HUGE booboo and dropped the drink package to maybe in the $30 range. My brother in law told me to check it out and we purchased it, we're not big drinkers but it was a hell of a deal. We ended up getting the package for around $400 for a 7 day cruise. Well, RC realized the mistake and sent out an email saying they made a snafu but would honor everyone that bought it. The cruise was originally planned for December 2020 and we all know how that ended, we didn't get to keep that package but were given FCC. Pretty sure that mistake won't happen again.

Yeah I have to believe the drink package is going to stop being a good choice for a lot of people when the cost goes up $20+/person/day unless they simultaneously increase drink prices pretty drastically.

Yes. I believe it reflects the highest "regular" prices....something in the neighborhood of $13. My guess is if (when ?) they increase the base price of drinks, they will also increase the value of the vouchers. All just guesses, of course.

Mr. Green Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 As of today, Oasis sailing in June, $77.99/person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickie95 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Ours has been fluctuating for Harmony in July. I didn't even know this was a concern until I saw the recent video about the risk of not buying in as soon as you know you want it. This is our first cruise, so I missed out on it when it was $69.99 pp/per day (pre-watching the video). It jumped to $72.99 when I ended up buying (after getting educated on this) and it has since gone up to $77.99. We're going with family that are avid cruisers and they had no idea this was even a thing. At least I cashed in on a price drop for the refreshment package we booked for our kids and saved around $116. It seems that prices have been changing each Wednesday, so I keep watching just in case it drops again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had gotten the glitch drink package for $17/pp, but it was for our May 2020 cruise that got cancelled. I was so sad. I highly doubt that mistake will ever be made again.

brdjnr Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 we paid $79 for 4 nighter on Independence next month. Right now it's 72.99 on Harmony in August (2022). My wife doesn't get her money's worth, I tend to even it out. WakeViewForTheWin and Spang1974 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got off the Symphony on Saturday and went to Vintages (our favorite) every night and used at least 2 vouchers of our 5 vouchers per day and met up with some of the same nice people each night and paid approximately an additional $2 per glass. I have a huge love of wine. My husband loves wine and beer. We did the ultimate dining package and also bought 2 bottles of wine with the 40% off of a bottle of wine under $100 which we thought was fantastic. The food coma is real! We ate at 150 twice, Hooked twice, Chopped, and Jamies, Hibachi for dinner and Jamies, Hooked, and Hibachi for lunch! Delicious and not super packed at all. We were the first sailing with Hairspray which was wonderful. Flight of course is spectacular. We loved Hiro and the 2 ice skating shows. Very, very full cruise. It was really nice to get back on a cruise ship! KristiZ and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakeViewForTheWin Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 We are on Symphony in mid-July and it is currently $72.99. Here I was thinking that was awful since my 2019 sailing on Harmony was $55. I guess I'll go ahead and book that right now : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerC1 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Our Harmony sailing in August is $72.99/person. If cocktails are $13 each then I would have to drink 6 a day to make it worthwhile and I just don't think I have it in me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nferr Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 They've gone up fast. Paid $50 a day in February. My November cruise is $72 now ($67 when on sales special). I hit Diamond after my February cruise since I got 44 points for an 11 night cruise. So I'll forego the package since I get the four free drinks and I'll bring the allowed two bottles of wine onboard. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
