Drink package...how does it work

[shdixon]

Hello everyone,

I have never purchased a drink package before and am still considering it prior to my cruise next month.

How does it work? Is there a sticker that goes on the card and they dont charge me or is the acct automatically credited each time they swipe it for any drink?

Thanks a million

There is a sticker on your SeaPass card, and your online account is also marked for having a package.

There is a sticker on your card. Also they will swipe your card with every drink you order - your photo will come up when they swipe your card. That way someone can't just peel a sticker off.

Attention being called for handing the served drink to another is embarrassing.

Drink package covers only drinks or wine up to 12 dollars a glass, which is almost all drinks except some scotch over 12 years old, wine we normally order is 14 or 15 a glass so we get a bill for the extra 2 or 3 dollars above the 12 dollars, love this package had it on my last 4 cruises well worth it for me.

We sometimes get a receipt for $0.00, but we never see individual $0.00 charges show up on our account.

On Oasis last month it covered up to $13/glass, which covered some of the lower-end (yet still tasty) ones in Vintages. This was not the case on Freedom in May or Allure a year ago. Of course, drink packages are more expensive than they were 6+ months ago too.

Not to mention they can revoke your drink package for sharing.

If you pre-pay for the package they actually print it on the card - at least for the soda package. Never purchased an alcohol package.

Nice! I like that since I got it as a surprise gift for my SIL! Can't wait to see his face when he gets his card!:)

I've only seen pre-printed cards for the soda package, not for alcohol packages.

Could someone share the recent cost of the drink package? Just curious about that.

They seem to have moved to a dynamic pricing model - price will depend on which ship (Oasis & Quantum classes are more expensive than others, for example), time of year (summer/spring break more expensive than winter), etc. You'll just have to log in to the cruise planner to find out.

Did anyone actually ASK about "sharing"??

Liberty for next April is 20 percent off 44 a day was 25 percent off a couple of months ago. Does not take me long to drink up 44 dollars

No but it was helpful info just in case I got tempted during the week to try :-)
