Pooch Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 I just had all our beverage packages go down for Allure in November. My son’s DBP has dropped $88 in the last 2 weeks. Daughter’s soda & her BF’s refreshment are down too. Chops dinner is down $3 pp but I’m afraid to cancel & rebook and lose the time we have. skywalk640, USCG Teacher, Ogilthorpe and 7 others 4 5 1 Quote
OCSC Mike Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 Some good prices for my Utopia B2B in March as well. The UDP dropped 5% and the OTW cabana my in laws got for the family at what was already a good price dropped over $100 to $1365. Unfortunately it only dropped for one of the two legs. We don't ever buy any beverage packages but I know from checking that they're low (for Utopia) as well. Quote
Ogilthorpe Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 DBP is down to 54.99 for our upcoming B2B, lowest I've seen in quite a while. Dining, both packages and individual reservations, are down in price in many cases. Follow the advice from the title: check your cruise planner! OCSC Mike, WAAAYTOOO and JimnKathy 3 Quote
smokeybandit Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 $51.99 for the DBP on Quantum in October. $56.99 on Star in March. Even Lincoln Park Supper Club is $159! JimnKathy, Ogilthorpe and OCSC Mike 3 Quote

No biggie, just annoying. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

loki007 Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 wow thanks for the heads up, DBP for $50.99 on Wonder. That's the lowest I've ever seen with Diamond discount Ogilthorpe and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote
Lucky Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 I just got mine for $59.99 for my Allure sailing in December. Lowest I'd seen prior was $66.99. Ogilthorpe 1 Quote
Zenra Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 Thanks for this post! Managed to get my DBP at $48.99/day (Prime Member) on my Harmony Thanksgiving cruise. Happy with that! Dining is looking pretty low price wise for the same sailing so probably going to pick up a couple of things there. CrimsonCruiser and Ogilthorpe 2 Quote
CrimsonCruiser Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 Just popped on and the only change I'm taking advantage of is that the 100 photos package is $20 less than I paid before. I'll certainly still take it but i would have loved a few more discounts! lol Ogilthorpe and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote

Geezer Of The Seas Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 It would appear those 'dynamic' fares are are making add-ons less palatable. I've been averaging 3 e-mails daily from Royal either urging me to book a cruise or telling me I haven't finished planning our April '26 trip on Adventure (add-ons). I reserved a beach bed at Coco Puffs, all I need. Ogilthorpe 1 Quote
skywalk640 Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 I like how they're calling it a Black Friday preview sale because the site is crashing like it does during actual Black Friday Pattycruise, Ogilthorpe, JohnK6404 and 5 others 1 5 2 Quote

LandstromCruise Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 Royal IT is killing it today . I was able to rebook 1 of my coco beach club days and save like $150 so that was nice. There have been some other small savings possible it appears but some I don’t want to try as they are dining and the way the site is acting I’m afraid to even try it to save like $10 Ogilthorpe, skywalk640 and ImOnlyHereForTheInk 3 Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 Patience is your friend with this sale. I have found that the error messages telling you that the transaction can't be completed will eventually clear. Just stay at it....don't give up !!! Also, don't believe the banner on the CP page that advertises the current price. Click on through and see b/c a couple of my sailings looked like the price was actually higher than I paid but when I went to the "purchase" part of the transaction, it actually showed a lower price. It's really a huge PITA but I was eventually able to reprice just about everything I had previously purchased. Some excursions are priced higher, so be careful with those. It seems to be mostly the dining prices that are on sale. Maybe drinks too but I don't look at those at all. perfect match, Ogilthorpe, OCSC Mike and 6 others 5 1 3 Quote

I keep getting stuck at various points in the reservation process. Just curious since I know you have packages booked (with the day 1 glitch). I know it will eventually work itself out. The closest I've gotten on the 3N leg (didn't even try the 4N leg yet) is to reserve lunch and dinner for day 2 but it won't let me make my day 3 dinner reservation... the only other reservation I need since day 1 is still glitching and there is no lunch that day (PDCC).

Pattycruise Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 DBP is 39.99 on a few of my sailings due to being signature. If only I drank like long ago! Between my 6 pinnacle and free casino drinks for being signature I have to pass. i wonder if they decided on this sale because of making all adults buy the DBP if one gets it!

I keep getting stuck at various points in the reservation process. Haven’t even tried booking any rezzies. I was just happy to get the packages repriced. I will worry about rezzies later. I was able to do both 3 night and UDP packages. It seemed as if the individual lunch bookings that I have are lower than this new price so I didn’t repurchase any individual meals. Also, a couple of the 3 night packages on a couple of Oasis class ships were higher than what I already have so I left those alone. I guess I need to follow my own advice and go back and make sure that those [seemingly-higher ] prices actually ARE higher and not just a banner error. Will look again, later.

JohnK6404 Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 I was finally able to reserve a casita for our JAN Odyssey sailing. We want to try one since that sailing has so many sea days (6) and we've never reserved a pool deck casita. Would be nice to have one day without the need to hunt and fight for a lounger! For some time the Reserve button was greyed out with instructions to call. The usual Royal IT shenanigans! Finally, after going in/out numerous times it turned blue and I was able to reserve/purchase it! Woo hoo! ImOnlyHereForTheInk, WAAAYTOOO, Ogilthorpe and 1 other 4 Quote

Ryansox Posted August 13, 2025 Report Posted August 13, 2025 I went to cancel ours and rebook. It has been stuck at "We're stuffed! Reservations are currently not available" Saved a bunch of money....just worried about getting the same times. Quote

Icon sailing in January savings not as good on DBP Royal IT sucks but at least they have a sense of humour with their error messages. I was very hesitant to rebook a dining reservation we had on our December Harmony cruise, but we went for it and it worked. Phew! Original price was $69 CAD per person. There have been a few drops and after this sale of 50% off it's down to $41 CAD. Not bad. JohnK6404, Ogilthorpe and SeaSunnedTraveler 2 1 Quote

I will worry about rezzies later. Not that you're worried (or even care, lol) but I figured out my reservation issue. When I go through the UDP modify link it shows every single time as available for every restaurant... but if I start to mock book an individual dinner for the 7 of us there are times that are unavailable. The really dumb part, of course, is that if I cancelled a reservation for 7 at XYZ for 6:30, it should then be available to re-book. Maybe there's a lengthy lag time or maybe it's just more IT shenanigans. Not a big deal either way. If we have to move some meals by 15-30 minutes and then try to change them (or just show up a bit early/late) we'll live. SeaSunnedTraveler, WAAAYTOOO and ImOnlyHereForTheInk 3 Quote
