Divina Aurea package

Considering upgrading my existing booking to Aurea - any views on the benefits and associated costs, e.g. Drinks package?

As it has only just come into effect in the US, you're not going to get anyone with personal experience of it.

 

I personally don't think it is worth it, based on price differentials on UK pricing. I'm better booking Fantastica and then paying for the Allegrissimo separately and it will be cheaper. Any time dining doesn't appeal and it is not yet clear exactly what the spa package will include.

 

It is a personal decision based on whether you consider the additional cost good value for the additional benefits or not. Some of them can still be booked as add ons to other experiences, so do your sums first!

OK thanks.

 

Yes agree it's about establishing the value which also includes the stateroom (and its position on deck etc).

For me, $22 more a day for what is offered is GREAT and jumped on it.

I agree for that price difference, it's worth while. It seems to be different with UK pricing. The cruise I looked at was more than £50 extra per day.

If my math is correct that is about $40. Yea for $40, I would not take it.

Your maths are way out. A pound is worth more than a dollar not less. Equivalent of £50 would be in the region of around $80 which is why I don't think it is worth the extra!

Ouch... Yea that is crazy. No incentive
