Hi - an update for anybody who interested. On the Beverage package page there was an option button to book online which brought up a web-form, and the web-form actually quoted $21.95 for the UDP .... so I rang Azamara. Upshot was web-form is out of date, price is $23.95, an indeed you cant use OBC to purchase the Ultimate Drinks Package before you board, but I could purchase via credit card over the phone. As my booking is in sterling then any pre purchases will also be in sterling and I was quoted a sterling price of £181.50 per person for 11 nights or £16.50 per day, a USD conversion rate of circa 1.45 ! Given the dollar has reached parity with the Euro this week I decided to buy now with the option of cancelling later, but at £16.50 a day I'm happy. Whilst not a FOREX trader I sense the low sterling price is because they are effectively buying sterling to charge the price in my local currency, and right now going from $ to £ is much cheaper for them. So for anyone who will be charged in sterling now may be a good time to make purchases ! Regards

Another thought. If I use my $500 OBC now to purchase the Ultimate drinks package but nearer the time or when I board I decide to purchase an Experience package can I cancel the Drinks Package and have my OBC refunded to pay for the Experience package? Thanks

Thanks Scots Caz. Yes 11 night cruise and as you say there is still a saving to be made going with the package.

Ah OK. Ive misinterpreted the $130 credit as being usable against any package but I see now its for Internet packages only ! Thanks

Hi - It's the $130 towards a full voyage unlimited package. Am I able to use it towards the Experience Package? Thanks

HI First time cruiser so new to all this- reading the Newbies Guide but another OBC question ....Sorry! I have 500 OBC and being in a Verandah Plus cabin get another 130, so 630, which I was going to use to buy the Ultimate drinks package (we both like wine and cocktails) and a visit to a specialty restaurant (we already get one as part of the cabin perks) leaves me with about 40USD spare. However if I can use my cumulative 630 onboard credit to purchase the Essentials package at 599USD whilst I need to contribute circa 225USD to upgrade from the package included Premium Drinks package to the Ultimate and a visit to a specialty restaurant .... for that 225USD I get 300USD Shore Credit and unlimited WIFI for one device which I think works out at about 180USD . Given I will probably take a few Azamara excursions and WI FI will be useful this seems a bit of a no brainer and so I'm wondering is there a catch ?? Any advice or observations would be appreciated Thanks
