This is true but misses a key point of cruising - It's opulent, it's luxury, it's about being spoilt, it's about the fun, the laziness, the doing what you want. There are many things on a ship you really don't need, nor need to do, nor to have done for you - but isn't that part of the attraction, for some, manybe only once or twice in their lifetime.

Currently running at $288 pp for 10 night cruise. We are going to get the package but wondered if the price is likely to be discounted closer to the cruise (or go up) in September.

Ah, then Anthem Coastal doesn't have a non-table seating area like the large ships. The ambience not as good then unless eating..

And another question. I recall cocktails in the evening used to be included in the coastal kitchen. If still the case, is this just to match the hours in the Concierge lounge. I sound like an alcoholic 🙂 - But seriously, I like the ambience in the coastal kitchen for cocktails.

A very many Cheers Indeed. 😁

We just got a deal and upgraded from a balcony to a Grand Suite for the 10 night Anthem of the seas in September out of Southampton. I have been sailing enough times to know most things but for some reason I couldn't answer this one as we normally buy the drink packages! We obviously now get alcohol in the Concierge lounge in the evenings as part of the SKY class. But as Diamond plus, we would have got the 5 vouchers each regardless of room. So the question is, do we get both the Concierge AND the vouchers or have to choose one over the other?

Remember, for all the compensation, you are contributing to cruise price rises and cutbacks for everyone else. You have every right to complain but if you really want to visit a destination, likely a plane is a better option! Waking up somewhere else, anywhere else, without all the normal travel woes, is heaven to me! I'm so chilled cruising, I just don't care 😉 We are all different, thank heavens.
