Ex-Airbalancer Posted October 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I would love to know why drink packages are different price for different cruise , Both cruise are TA, both start from the EU Nov 2023 Conny TA Classic package is $121.89 CAD per day with 20% off $97.51 CAD Nov 2024 Equinox TA Classic package is $99. 96 CAD per day with 20% off $79.97 CAD Is there any reason for this ? dynamic pricing 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These flash sales don’t apply to every sailing and may only be for drink packages or package upgrades, or just for some excursions. Some last a very short time others for days. The pricing isn’t consistent across ships or sailing. I used to see that with drink packages on Royal and found it irritating . If pre cruise sales are lacking in a particular area on some ships a sale appears 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change in the zero proof package price. This is above and beyond the different % offered for different cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the 53% discount for next year’s Australia cruise and Alaska cruise but not for our Spain and Portugal cruise in 12 days time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Airbalancer Posted October 27, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I can see different discounts for different cruises But why isnt base price the same across the board , one cruise base price $99.96CAD and another cruise it is $121.96CAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted October 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Same reason not every hotel, airline ticket, concert ticket etc. is not the same price. They fluctuate based on demand. Not selling well? Drop the price. Selling like crazy? Raise the price. Supply and demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebockelman Posted October 27, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The short answer is: because they can. It's priced where they project they will maximize revenue based on balancing the price of the package vs price sensitivity of the guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted October 27, 2023 #13 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The same for WiFi, it's more expensive in shorter cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizingOmi Posted October 29, 2023 #14 Share Posted October 29, 2023 My guess would be, If you go look for the drink pkge for TA 2024 in 2024 closer to the cruise date prices go up.Or perhaps they secured a different supplier and can offer it cheaper.Prices for 2023 might have been more. Also the exchange rate right now is horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
