Yes, we would like to know if we should purchase the Replenish before boarding or while onboard. You can only get the C & A discount (if any) onboard plus you can use your OBC. so confusing with the photos of the Harmony and the Ovation!!!

 

There is a C&A discount on drink packages on board??? I have never heard of this... do you have more details? We're sailing in a couple of weeks and have been back and forth on the drink package.

I have been tracking our October Allure cruise package prices since January and the premium package was been $49 USD. Then two weeks ago I looked and it was 20% sale and price was $44. Goes without saying I bought it.

 

No idea what type of algorithm they use to offer the 20% sale so just keep checking and grab it when it shows up.

 

It appears that the 20% off they are calculating "from" is the onboard price of $55/day plus gratuity - $44 is 20% off of $55

 

You still saved $41.30 total per person (calculated on the savings off the per day amount including 18% gratuity) vs the standard pre-purchase price of $49/day with 18% gratuity.

 

While the "savings" is not 20% off the online price, but rather the onboard price, it is still a savings! Gotta love the RCCL maths! :rolleyes:

Harmony of the Seas for my November sailing, they another add 18% gratuity charge at checkout:

  • Royal Refreshment $8.00 adult
  • Royal Replenish $19
  • Water package $39
  • Select package $36 with 20% already discounted
  • Premium package $47 with 20% already discounted

My question is, can I buy it now and if the price drops more before our cruise date, then can I return it and buy it again at the lower price?

I think you have up to 3 or 4 days before the cruise to cancel for a credit to your credit card.

select,premium and ultimate have gone UP, so not exactly a discount, and

I also discovered that the 18% grats are put on when you add to basket, its not included in these prices.

On Navigator August 2016, the "20%" off internet prices in British pounds today are -

 

Soda £6.29

Replenish £ 16.28

Select £28.82

Premium £38.42

Ultimate £42.79

 

I havent bought but presume thats plus 18% gratuity going by others posts

 

They definitely increased after the Brexit vote as they seem very expensive - especially compared to Merlins Mum going on Brilliance in the post above. Mine is a 14 day cruise - I would have thought they would be a bit cheaper. Many may have "free" Select on their sailings. My invoice says the 'value' of the free Select package for 14 days is £385 ( £27.50) per day each. I have two free Select on my booking.

prices on Jewel for September in my planner are the same as Merlins Mum quoted for Brilliance. So £28.86 per day for Premium package, up a couple of pounds since Brexit. Total in my cart with the tips added is £306.49 for nine days. A lot to spend just on booze especially as there are a lot of long port days. Think I will just 'pay as I go' and hope there may be a drinks card to bring down the price by a few dollars.

on Navigator sailing 6/16 12 night paid $46 per night in advance (after 20% discount offer). No idea what it cost onboard because I already had it. I believe the price prior to discount was $59/night. Basic gratuity included. Some bartenders got extra tips because they went above and beyond. absolutely got money's worth out of it. But we love cocktails.
