yes
Soda is not included. You can buy, or bring onboard all you want. Same with water. Iced or hot tea, lemonadee and water. For breakfast, juices. Pro tip: If you want juices at other times, get glasses and put in your fridge and take them when you want them elsewhere.
They simply want passengers that buy packages and go to pay venues onboard. Nothing else matters including loyalty. It is what it is.
New or old passengers, it's about the pocket emptying and nothing else.
I think that is the point of many people. A lot of us don't see these changes as "small". Removal/reductions of loyalty benefits, pricing for previous free venues, and higher prices for packages and the changing of what's included for what the customer paid for at time of booking.
Well said. As said many times in this thread and others. The continued cutbacks and removal of loyalty benefits are all about trying to weed out low revenue loyal customers and replace them with customers who will spend unabashedly on vacation.
I do feel badly though for th passenger services people who will deal with angry customers who only find out about these changes once onboard.
No concerns about them breaking from the treatment? I've thought about putting them in luggage to not have to carry, or actually putting one in the luggage and one I carry, and do that with both our suitcases. But I have worried about them breaking because of treatment.
Also, have read of some buying plastic bottles of water in 12 and 24 packs and putting a luggage tag on them and getting them delivered to the room. that would be nice if I thought it would work.
No, soda and water. I thought the rule was one 12 pack per person. But at least at FLL they don't seem to care has been my experience. Bring all you want at embarkation and ports.
