Jimmy Geegitz Posted September 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2017 2 cruise lines have had large increases on their beverage packages. Get ready I'm sure Carnival will follow suit. Better buy those packages now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastersLevelMama Posted September 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Do they ever give notice before an increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted September 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Which cruise lines raised their prices? I am going on the RC Oasis of the Seas next month and I purchased the package for 30% off the regular price....Carnival has a limit to alcoholic drinks, all other cruise lines don't have any limits, so I can't see Carnival raising their prices.

If you already purchased you are locked in at that price. Even if they increase you will keep the price you paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted September 28, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I just googled this and found Princess is raising their prices also, as far as NCL can't stand that cruise line and their ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanger727 Posted September 28, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Eh, Norwegian's prices are irrelevant to anyone else. They charge those prices because NO ONE pays them. Everyone gets the beverage package 'free' with booking. The condition is you pay the gratuities on the package. So the price people are actually paying is going from $14 pp pd to $16 pp pd. Still a way better deal than cheers - and no 15 drink limit! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the fare goes up several hundred when you choose to include the beverage package. It's the ole double the price and then take 25% off trick.

Fla Mike Posted September 28, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Princess increased the price AND added the 15 drink limit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted September 28, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Princess added the 15 drink limit and raised their price, I was thinking of going on the Regal this spring but forget it now! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
