traveldayz Posted August 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2018 We have received an email telling us that RC are offering 15% off the Deluxe Package and 30% off the Refreshment Package at the moment. The prices on the website are $78.30 a day, and $33.08 a day. Are these the full or discounted prices? Spent ages on the phone with an RC rep who was clueless.

maxx Posted August 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I also got the same email. I think it's a better idea just to keep checking cruise planner regularly. I purchased deluxe package for $67.50, had seen it up to $81, also purchased refreshment package for around $28. The emails sometimes misrepresent the truth.

traveldayz Posted August 15, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Thanx Maxx. Must get into the habit of regularly checking the planner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mr walker Posted August 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2018 As a guide the 'regular' Deluxe Package on-board price is USD55 per day with 18% T&G to be added, so USD65 total, give or take. Sale savings advertised are based on this price. Using the mysterious RCI Fx rates, this often comes out to around A$81. Using a more current Fx rate of say 72.5c, this would work out to be $89.52. Taking 15% off that would make it $76.08, so I guess that's how they come up with A$78.30 per day as current deal. Value for money would be in the eyes of the beerholder :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned49 Posted August 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2018 On our planner the drink package was $76 then it went on special at $81, doesn't make much sense!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted August 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The main problem I find is that the packages prices change from cruise to cruise and of course currency fluctuations also can have big influence on the end price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzbluz Posted August 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I bought ours on special for $65 AUD last December for a cruise this December and haven't seen it that low since. It is usually around $75 whenever I look. Do buy it before you go in Aussie dollars though as that price includes gratuity but if you buy later in USD you have to add gratuity.
