Please be advised effective Friday, February 10, 2017,

The water package pricing will be changing to new lower pricing.

This update will apply to pre-orders and onboard purchases.

 

Below is the scheduled implementation for all ships.

• Friday 2/17 – Gem, Sky
  
• Saturday 2/18 – Epic, Star, Pride of America, Escape

LOL I wonder what the next complaint of the week will be.

 

1) The price drop was not enough

 

- OR -

 

2) They do not carry the brand of bottled water I prefer

 

 

I'll put my money on item two! :D

Also, this might be live already.

 

This is a screenshot of the prices I'm seeing for an upcoming Jewel booking. Note that I already purchased an 18 bottle package (no longer available) for $58... gonna have to call on this one.

so mad at NCL, I have budgeted a certain amount of money towards water on my trip and now I will have leftover money, what am i supposed to do with that money. I am done with NCL, this will be my last cruise and I am writing a letter

[imnance]

Money talks folks. If nobody is buying the water at ridiculously inflated prices, then the prices will be changed until people start buying it.

I already purchased mine for our Feb 27th on the Gem...do you think they will price adjust?

Exactly.

I just spoke with a rep. They indicated that they will automagically credit the difference as onboard credit.

 

I explained that I thought the computer would go into thermal overload when it tried to figure out how to apply a credit to an item that is no longer available (18 pack). Would they just give me the 24 pack at the 18 pack price along with a credit? Would they show up with a 12 pack? Would nothing happen?

 

I wrote a note to my PCC to handle.

 

I don't care about the couple of bucks difference, I want the water.

Looks like the prices for Getaway are live.

Glad they did this. I mean their water prices started to make what Disney charges for bottled H2O look reasonsable and that's frightening.

That assumes quite a lot, to include but not necessarily limited to...

 

1) That the net profit is maximized with a higher volume at a lower price (which actually is the case may times by basic Economics 101).

 

2) That maximizing the profit from water is the ultimate goal.

 

3) That the headaches of handling an increased demand for water is worth the marginal profit from said increase.

[triptolemus]

Thank you very much. I preorded two six packs or a twelve pack cant remember for my Getaway cruise end of month. Do we know how we will be refunded? Its a small amount but Ill take it lol

 

As stated above, an NCL rep explained that folks who had purchased packages at the higher/older prices would receive OBC.

Old prices were outrageous. New prices are still outrageous. Hey NCL - when we were on Carnival Breeze in Oct 2015 we pre-purchased a 12-pack of water to be delivered to the cabin - for $2.99. :rolleyes:

I drink it all. Pay for water , free water, beer, mixed drinks, well except for ice tea and lemon aid. My Ds does like the ice tea.

[Lionkingrichard]

Now if they would just lower the price of 18 year old scotch by Saturday then awesome!

You dont get ice tea and lemonade for free? We do!

 

 

Just ask how we do it and we can help.

I am kind of waiting for the price of the $5 casino chips to come down to about $2.75 which is a lot more reasonable! I mean if they REALLY want to sell and quit being greedy, ya know what I'm saying? :D
