Yes, quite the deal. For us if we drink we only purchase during happy hour and not every day Our bar bill for a cruise this length would probably be close to $300.00 for two people. So for us no deal however for people who would like to drink even 2 to 3 drinks per day might be a good deal.
On our Grand Australia, signature beverage package for 94 days is $1,552.98 Per person. Quite the deal for people who like to drink. No deal on Wifi. It is $729.00 if pre purchased before cruise, premium WiFi one device.
Do you have your email confirmation. Doesn't make sense that the charge was less than $16.00. The prepaid amount is determined by HAL. You should be good.
@Hlitner Elliot Finkel was a guest entertainer on our 2023 Grand South America cruise. He was very much alive at that time. I believe his brother passed away in 2020.
