IMO- fitness classes should be for all- included in the cruise fare. They are stripping away the we all have had access to in the past.
As I said- if people are willing to pay- they will keep asking for more money.
These packages are for drinkers of alcohol.
By the pool on Enchanted Princess there was ice cream soft serve, popcorn included in your cruise fare.
no one was at gelato place anytime I went past on Enchanted or Discovery. They were not getting the business on Alaska or New England cruises.
Agree with Coral. Do a mock booking and before you go to payment page, it says refundable deposit, cancellation terms—- so depends on your cruise choice.
As said Princess will take care of the details with a cruise tour.
another option is to cruise,& then train or get a car rental to explore that area of Northern Italy, Switzerland. I used a website called Slow Europe, to help plan.
On my last two cruises we had the same as you. I go by first- hand experience. It is all changing, that’s for sure. I went past gelato place on both cruises several times and saw no one sitting or orders. Maybe in Carribean it is more desirable.
