LadyBerard Posted June 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Booked Jewel of the Seas for Jan. 18th, 2019. Currently showing 20 percent discount if I prepurchase drink pkg. They're saying that's $48 day, plus gratuity. It comes to a little over $1k for the two of us for this 9 nighter. I know we can purchase it, and if it goes down, just cancel and repurchase. But my question is, if we wait to book on board (and the current price does not increase), what can we expect to pay with our diamond discount?

Biker19 Posted June 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2018 But my question is, if we wait to book on board (and the current price does not increase), what can we expect to pay with our diamond discount? With the dynamic pricing it is very difficult to predict what the price will be on board - you'll get 30% off whatever it is (assuming the D+ discount stays the same - that could also change) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been several reports that a discount for Diamonds on the beverage package is not offered on every ship. If it is it’s only 20% off of the higher on board price.

Ourusualbeach Posted June 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Reading too quick. Guilty of that myself on more than one occasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired LEO Posted June 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Unless it's very recently changed there is no diamond discount. Diamond+ 30% Pinnacle 40% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted June 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I didn't pre-purchase my drink package for my February Indy sailing. It was on sale at one point pre-cruise for $48 (not including gratuity), when I boarded, the on board pricing was $63 per day. So pre-buy if you can!

LadyBerard Posted June 23, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Thank you for telling me how much it is to purchase it on board. I will definitely prepurchase the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shocked91 Posted June 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Never seen 20% off for diamonds only 30% for diamond plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted June 23, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 23, 2018 As of two minutes ago it was $45 p.p. plus gratuities, on the Allure and we are Diamond members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 24, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Never seen 20% off for diamonds only 30% for diamond plus. When Royal first started offering drink package discounts based on C&A levels, some ships did offer a 20% discount to Diamonds, but that didn't last very long.
