Drink packages - on ship?

[Travelbugs2.2]

Hi

 

We are due to sail on the Mariner for a 3 night cruise after Christmas.

The deluxe drink package is currently $61pppn plus gratuities (18%)

 

We had hoped we may get a better deal in the Black Friday sale, but it looks like just the refreshment package is on sale.

 

if we leave it till the last minute, is it definitely possible to buy on board?   And is it generally the same price, or dearer?

 

(we’ve always bought our packages pre cruise so I’ve never taken any notice of the prices on board😳)

 

Thanks

Thank you

 

thats what I was afraid of!!   Think we better bite the bullet and just buy pre cruise .

 

Wonder how high they go when purchasing on Board then?

You can always book it and keep an eye on it in the next few weeks. If the price goes down cancel and rebook.

The high pre cruise price could be due to the short sailing. Just a guess

Hard to say, but if the demand is high, they will raise the price.
