RobsGr8 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 counting down only 641 days to go! first time going on a cruise, any helpful info would be great. wondering if the drink package is worth the money or if buying per drink is the better way to go?

RobsGr8 Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hope no one minds. We will probably be asking a bunch of questions. With the included meals can you basically go to any of the complimentary restaurants as many times as you want throughout the day? Can we try 2 or 3 different places for breakfast the same day?

RobsGr8 Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Anyone currently on board or just recently on board the Odyssey Of The Seas and happen to know the cost of the drink packages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 @RobsGr8 - Welcome, and I'm glad you're so excited about your upcoming cruise! Many of these questions are answered in the other sections of the message board, so I encourage you to take a little time to look around. For general questions not directly related to this exact sailing, I encourage you to post your questions in the corresponding sections of the message boards so that more people will see them. Odyssey is a fantastic ship, and my favorite in the Quantum class of ships. You made a great choice! You may eat as many times at complimentary venues as you like. Here's a great place to start for information about the drink package. Because it varies from ship to ship and sailing to sailing, what it costs on one sailing may have no indication of what it costs on another sailing. Keep checking the Cruise Planner as you get closer to your sailing and it will show up. Expect to pay between $75-95 per person, per day. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=royal+caribbean+blog+drink+package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing that cruising veterans enjoy more than an enthusiastic and interested new cruiser ! [Well, maybe we also enjoy getting tips on computer glitches where cruise planner purchases have been mispriced and we can take advantage ! ]. So ask as many questions as you have !

RobsGr8 Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Does Odyssey of the seas have a duty free liquor store onboard? Are they any cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do, and on many things the prices are pretty good. I just never buy any because the complications of getting it home in my luggage on a flight are overwhelming.

JLMoran Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Count me on this sailing. Gonna be my first time on Royal in a good six years! Haven't sailed with them since before the pandemic hit. And this sailing will mark a few moments for me: I turn 55 four days before sail-away I finally hit Platinum status (for all that means these days ) First sailing on Odyssey First time in Antigua and Barbados (too bad no Curacao, but 2 outta 3 ain't bad) And yeah, it's been a minute since I posted to these boards.

RobsGr8 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Just wanted to let everyone know that the drink packages are now available to purchase on the app. They are on sale. The unlimited drink package is $79.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 I hope it gets lower than $80/day for the deluxe package. I don’t generally drink more than about $50 a day between dinner wines, a couple cappuccinos, and maybe a cocktail with lunch when I’m on board. I’m fine if it doesn’t, I’ll just get a Refreshment Package in that case, and pay for my booze a la carte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsGr8 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 The next day they had a flash sale for BOGO 50% off which made it 75.00 PP PD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, this is why their "sales" and "promotions" are so often just bunk. It really comes down to, "How well are we meeting our quotas for these packages and offerings?" It's only when the sales numbers are in the toilet that the steep price cuts actually seem to come out. What I consider a reasonable deluxe package price (which would be about $45-$55 PP PD) doesn't seem to be offered any more, even though I was able to snag that price on both of my 2018 sailings. Not that I'll stop checking, mind you. I'm a firm believer in miracles. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
