Buying Signature Drink Package

[kluv2cruz]

Should we buy the signature (or maybe elite?) drink package before we board? Is it ever on sale? I’m Canadian and will be sailing October 2023 on a pacific US coastal. Thanks!

It's the same price. If you have oodles of OBC, you may want to wait and purchase onboard to use OBC. Or pre-purchase if the exchange rate is good.

If HIA is available to Canadians, you should buy it instead. Currently in US$, HIA is $50pppd, with SBP more than that by itself! So it's sort of on sale when it is bundled...

I'm Canadian.  I just checked the pricing for our Pacific Coastal cruise in Nov and it is priced as $44.95 when purchased online and $54.95 if you wait to purchase onboard.

@kluv2cruzYes, please consider what @crystalspin is pointing out!!  HIA is $50 pp/pd and includes a $100 shore excursion credit, Specialty dinner, Wi-Fi and the Signature Beverage Package. 

 

HIA is less than the SBP by itself!!!

You are correct. My bad. I don't know what I was thinking. When we didn't have the beverage package included, we had oodles of OBC, so bought onboard,

You could try to add it now. It's often available under Manage My Booking -> Packages on the Website. Or give HAL a call.

HIA is $65 pp/pd CAD when added to cruise after booking.
