Drink prices since plan increases?

With the recent drink package price increases, have the individual drink prices increased from the 2010 sticky?

 

The reason I'm asking is I am thinking of just getting Premium Non-Alcoholic plan for myself and buying any alcoholic drink I have a la carte.

I don't think they have changed from my experience and if they have it hasen't been by much.........

Recently back from a June 7-19 Solstice cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik. Enjoyed great weather and a wonderful trip. Dozens of wonderful visuals with key highlights, tips, comments, etc., on these postings. We are now at over 30,000 views for this live/blog re-cap on our first sailing with Celebrity and much on wonderful Barcelona. Check these postings and added info at:

Does anyone know if the above are included with the premium non-alcoholic package?

Thanks so much Terry! :) I believe my hubby wants the plan. For myself, I have been trying to make a decision on whether or not to get the Premium Drink Plan. I don't see myself drinking enough alcohol to make the price worthwhile. Can anyone elaborate on the prices at the Molecular and Martini Bars? Are they still roughly 10 to 12 dollars?

That's what I did for my upcoming cruise on Eclipse. Is it December 3rd yet? :D :)

Sharon, I don't think there were any $10 drinks at the Molecular Bar (at least not on the menu). All the drinks on their menu are $12. I haven't heard of any price raises from the "Mole Bar."

 

I knew the Mole Bar was $12...seems like I read the Martini Bar was around $10. I'm trying to keep notes...LOL, I want to cut and paste some of Jo's tips down from the thread with the beautifully done videos that I liked just to remember...I know from my trip on the Pearl that these little things can be helpful. My memory bites these days so saving them so I can look at them on my netbook is very helpful. :)

 

I know!

 

Go clock, go! :)

My mother would tell me I'm wishing my life away....but I'm ready to cruise! :)
