Beverage packages on the rise

[Jimmy Geegitz]

2 cruise lines have had large increases on their beverage packages. Get ready I'm sure Carnival will follow suit. Better buy those packages now.

Do they ever give notice before an increase?

Which cruise lines raised their prices? I am going on the RC Oasis of the Seas next month and I purchased the package for 30% off the regular price....Carnival has a limit to alcoholic drinks, all other cruise lines don't have any limits, so I can't see Carnival raising their prices.

I believe so. Norweigan just poste they are going up Oct. 10th so that's about a 2 week notice. They are going to $102 a day!! Includes tip.

Yet another reason for us to avoid NCL. :mad:

Princess went to around $69 a day and Norweigan went to $102 per day.

I heard NCL will be increasing their drinks package.

If you already purchased you are locked in at that price. Even if they increase you will keep the price you paid.

I just googled this and found Princess is raising their prices also, as far as NCL can't stand that cruise line and their ships.

Eh, Norwegian's prices are irrelevant to anyone else. They charge those prices because NO ONE pays them. Everyone gets the beverage package 'free' with booking. The condition is you pay the gratuities on the package. So the price people are actually paying is going from $14 pp pd to $16 pp pd. Still a way better deal than cheers - and no 15 drink limit!

Unfortunately they tack on more than the tips. Usually the fare goes up several hundred when you choose to include the beverage package. It's the ole double the price and then take 25% off trick.

Princess increased the price AND added the 15 drink limit!

[Cruisegirl6]

Princess added the 15 drink limit and raised their price, I was thinking of going on the Regal this spring but forget it now! :(
