Thetechie 164 Report post Posted October 10, 2018 Just logged into the Cruise Planner and there was a price drop on the Deluxe Drinks, as well as the Deluxe Drinks combined with VOOM 1 device for my March cruise! Scored the combo pack for $57/day. Hoping for an even better sale on black friday, but I am happy with this price for now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBC 103 Report post Posted October 10, 2018 They are so screwy with their pricing on these things. My April cruise currently is advertising the deluxe drink package as 20% off "on sale" for $65/day! I have never seen it that high ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 8,783 Report post Posted October 10, 2018 You probably caught the new Cruise Planner sale effect before it was officially announced. Be sure to book it if you want to take advantage of the offer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got the combo on sale for my Serenade sailing later this month for...are you ready for this...$47 a day! The cheapest it had been before that was $50 a day. The drink package is selling for $39 a day, so with the combo my 1 device surf & stream is a whopping $8 a day. I still don't believe the price! 1 1 4ensic and JLMoran reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
June May 56 Report post Posted October 12, 2018 I don't want to horrify anyone, but I got my Deluxe Drinks + Voom package yesterday on sale for $91.08/day. Granted, that's AUD, but it was around $99AUD/day a few weeks ago, so I grabbed it! That's the price we pay for having a weak dollar against USD at the moment. I did save over $100 on the last pricing, so I'm happy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PG Cruiser 1,669 Report post Posted October 12, 2018 For my 11-Night cruise on the Serenade, I got the Refreshment Package for $233.64 ($18/day base price) and VOOM Surf + STREAM Voyage Package - 1 Device for $175.89. I hope those were good deals. Do they do price guarantees? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellcee 1,288 Report post Posted October 12, 2018 6 hours ago, RatedPG said: Do they do price guarantees? No, but you learn to check obsessively like most of us do. Once/if the price becomes lower than what you've paid, you cancel and rebuy. No issues. I know $18 for Refreshment is good. I don't know about your Voom per day. Either way it goes lower, cancel and rebook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voom, drinks, excursions, meal plans...you can cancel and re-book at lower price up until 3-4 days before your sailing. Keep in mind it may take a week for the refund to show up, while the new charge shows up immediately. So depending on the timing, you may see an unexpected higher credit card bill if your statement period closes before the credit is applied. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope those were good deals. $18/day on Refreshment Package seems to be the lowest anyone has seen it in recent memory. Doesn't hurt to keep checking the price as the sales rotate through, but unless they find they're not selling enough of those packages I wouldn't expect it go any lower. The VOOM package is $15.99 per night, which is basically the "normal" rate. How far away is that cruise? The last month or two, Royal has been selling VOOM for 40-50% off onboard rates for close-in sailings, with a 1-device price of $11.99 per night on those promos. Definitely keep an eye out for that.

Oof, you'll just miss the Black Friday sale, then. Hopefully they'll have an internet package sale with one of those deep discounts in the next few weeks.

Susie 213 Report post Posted October 12, 2018 I got a Refreshment package for $18/day/person for both me and my hubby and I think that is the best you can get. However, the VOOM Surf + STREAM had never been lower than $15.99 😕 My sailing is 11/17 (36 days) not sure can get lower or not. Does RCL ever do Halloween sale? 🤔 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susie 213 Report post Posted October 12, 2018 Thanks @Matt Friday link. RCCL probably does Black Friday again this year but I will be on Anthem OTS during Black Friday. I kind of wait for the Black Friday sale to book Cruise for April (Easter 2019) so might need to go to the next cruise to book when I onboard. Does it normally start on Black Friday or a week ahead? LOL I wish spooky sale or something come out like Black Friday 30% off. If I can get 30% off everything I will change Refreshment to deluxe dring package in a heartbeat.
