UK cruisers will drinks prices increase on cruise planner?

Following the drop in the pound to dollar exchange rates this weekend do you think the drinks prices available through the cruise planner to pre-purchase and quoted in £ will increase or are they locked in?

Based on what has happened to prices in CDN over the last 2 years prices will rise.

They review them normally every other month to see exchange rate so I'd expect the prices to go up, if you are thinking of buying one I'd buy now!

I booked mine to be on the safe side!

Mine went up last year when the euro dropped against the dollar book now also ring Royal and use your credit card to buy some on board credit

Yes prices get adjusted with the changing exchange rates.

I'm on Jewel in September and am pretty sure that the prepaid meal prices/package has gone up but doesn't look like the drink package or excursions have yet.

I have just purchased on board credit at rate of 1.42 - the same as my last cruise in Feb. But I know this can change so would also suggest buying sooner rather than later.

By this posters comments it looks like they did last night.

Edited to say he confirmed it all went up but they never said specifically if the drinks did or not. If they haven't yet you can bet they will. I'd be buying them today and asap if I was in the OP position.

I've just gone on to prebook Wonderland and I'm pretty sure last week it was £37 now it is £39.

Just checked and the Premium drink package on our sailing has increased by about £2 a day.

Just drink more

I have the select package included so I bought OBC at $1.42 = £1(yesterday) to pay in $ for the upgrade- not sure how long the 1.42 will last

I priced up the packages on Friday immediately after Brexit, and here they are:

Select: £26.87 per day

Premium: £35.82 per day

Ultimate: £39.90 per day

So they have all gone up by approx £2.50 per day.

What I was wondering though, was on our last cruise, there was a Buy One Get One Half Price offer on embarkation day. I'm undecided on whether to buy now in GBP, or wait to see if there are any offers onboard (we embark Indy on Saturday). If we did decide to buy now, can we cancel if there is a better deal onboard?

Have one extra drink per day!

I checked last night for navigator on sept and select was over £28 that was after the 20% off so I wonder if they have gone up again since Friday or is that just navigator.

Due to the price increase I decided I would just go with the soda pack and take some wine onboard. It was advertised at £6.26 a day but when I came to pay it worked out at £5.86.

Do they go down again, when tge rates go tge other way?

Rates improving today

Doesn't matter to me much. I'll be getting completely smashed each day of my cruise to get the best value. Last time I managed 15 pints of beer between coming back from an excursion and finishing dinner!

I've copied my post from the other thread....

I bought my internet package on referendum day as I knew they'd increase the prices quickly if 'out' won.

My 2 device surf package has only increased by about £1 a day, so not too bad but I found an old screenshot from April of the premium drinks package ... Over £6 per day increase now! It's now £38.42 compared to Aprils £32.38, both prices have the 20% discount offer.

We already have 'select' included luckily & I may upgrade onboard, those $12+ cocktails will seem costly now otherwise!

This is the price for Independence btw .... [emoji6][emoji23][emoji23]
