Crazy4Camping Posted October 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2018 So FTTF went up, gratuities are increasing, anyone hear anything about whether the drink packages are going up too? I'm scared that if I don't decide(and pay for)on Cheers soon, then it will be even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinchem Posted October 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2018 We're in a good economy, people have extra discretionary money and they are spending it. All the cruise lines want a piece of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted October 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2018 They increased Cheers by $2.00 on January 1st this year. Hopefully they won’t raise the price again until 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMRPHRN Posted October 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If I remember correctly when they did the last increase there was a grace period to go ahead and pay before the price went up. Much like they are doing with the gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never received anything when FTTF went up, I just realized it recently. Thank goodness I already prepaid all the gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff61 Posted October 23, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Everything will keep going up every year until people stop paying. These huge ships eat up a lot of money. When this bubble bursts it's not going to be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted October 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Another thing to consider is that inflation is about 3% a year. With inflation, goods and services don't magically cost less. Companies are always having to compete with that. They don't add a 3% increase each year, but increases will never stop as long as there is supply, demand, and inflation. A good economy has also increased demand. I'm not a fan of prepaying things because "it feels like I'm spending less". However, if you've booked a cruise through 2020, I may recommend prepaying because you might ACTUALLY spend less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
