Unable to reserve drink package on website-Indy 10/19/24 sailing

[rdhed]

Hi,

Is anyone else unable to reserve the drink package on the website. The reserve button is grayed out. We are not new to Royal so can't imagine they have us somehow marked as minors for this particular cruise. I can add it to my cart in the app but then the app won't accept my CC info. Fun times all around. Clearly I have time until my cruise but wanted to get it booked and monitor prices as royal plays its sales games.  Thanks!

Just call rccl , then continue to monitor.

Thank you!

 

Finally gave up  and called - no wait time at all which was nice but of course while I was on the phone with the guy the website decides to let me book!

Our cruise planner showed the drink package 'Sold Out' this morning for my upcoming cruise, but just now I see that it is available again. Probably just a temporary glitch.

What phone number do you call?

The Royal site is listing beverage packages at up to 45% off.

The 45% off is for the Evian water package 12 or 24 bottles. 35% off the booze package so about $56 USD pp/pd

If you want to avoid wait times, call early or late -- they're open much later than you'd expect.  Like maybe 1:00 am.  You can get right through if you don't call mid-day.

Oh, the drink package is never actually sold out.

Never pay attention to % off (or BOGO Half Off, or whatever else).  Just look at the actual price ... it never seems to change more than a couple dollars.

I agree the cost matters not the percentage.  I was happy to save some money.

Is bottled water and canned soda, as well as specialty coffee available with the UBP?
How about sparkling or seltzer in bottles?

If above isn't included, I need to also add to my ressie with the UBP.

Thank you all.

The deluxe drink package includes bottled water, specialty coffee(just not the freestanding starbucks or at least that how it used to be-there are other places to purchase), and soda. If you can get a can of soda I am not sure. I feel like whenever by DH gets one they bring it in glass(but website says cans). Website also says sparkling water is included-if its in a bottle no clue. From the website these are the included beverages.
