Price Jump

[smarcbie]

As many, I was hoping for an Easter sale on UBP, dining and excursions. What happened instead was a giant price increase. My 5-night dining went from $122 to $157, UBP went from $66 to $73 (the new sale price), and an excursion I was watching went from $84 to $124. I see that the 'base price' for unlimited beverages also increased from $88 to $98. Has anyone else notice their cruise planner items jump in $$?

Look again in a few days or so. The prices go up and down. If you have anything in your cart, think about taking it out. Those sales aren't really sales and you'll probably see them back to the cheaper prices again.

I was hoping for a easter air fare sale for next march.

 

The easter bunny missed me too.

Like the 70's bellbottoms and inflation are in!

 

I'm breaking out my leisure suit for my next cruise. Peace out baby.

Someone who is usually "in the know" said that a "sale" starts tomorrow.

 

They probably raised prices so that they can put them "on sale" tomorrow.  😄

Yup, that is usually how it works.

 

I will be checking tomorrow since the Easter Bunny didn't bring me any internet sales this weekend.

They are starting to put some items in the cruise planner for early 2023 other than Coco Cay.  Prices are stupid but at least things are available.  Sorta.  For example, if looking at all the offerings on the page I see the beverage package.  But, if selecting Beverage Packages from the menu/drop-down, the planning message still shows.

Someone needs to tell royal the definition of the word sale. My planner items for a cruise in Nov didn't just increase a tad but rocketed into the stratosphere. Time for me to revolt. I'm not buying

Idk I'm booked on the radiance out of Galveston for jan 30 2023.  No excursions posted but these pictures of excursions dont fit my cruise. I'm hoping to do the Panama locks .. from colon Panama. None of these pictures look like my cruise ports. Sydney... as in australia? Not from Galveston texas.

I was waiting to buy the drink package until today. I figured at worst the new sale would be the same as the old sale. Nope, new sale is $7 more per day. They raised the base price by $10 a day, so I don't see it going any lower.  🙄
