Well regardless come back and join in anyways...lol Cause you are indeed on the RCL forum...The reason most folks get the other perks is bargaining with the cruise line either by themselves watching deals and or with their TA. Some times free (well almost free) or thrown in by the TA.Routine pricing that one sees on the Cruiseline's websites usually show it being a deal but in fact normally the regular price is inflated previously or somehow to counter the added perk which they now throw in BUT frequent cruisers play the game. A well rounded TA working for you can really help.Which is why a lot of folks have packages......and of course there are those with money that it just doesn't matter too. A drink package regardless of how you get it usually eliminates that pax from the lounges for Diamond gathering or Elite on X. When ordering a drink at the bar without a package I find my server looking at me funny and wondering why I don't have a package. They of course try to sell me one....but I just don't need one. The odd bottle of water gets me by. My perks go to Gratuities and OBC which covers my odd bottle of water.
