Does HAL guarantee (honor) the pricing for pre-paid wine packages?

[Funatabi]

My world cruise is still 235 days away.

I have seen the prices for the wine packages increase since the time I reserved my cruise last summer.

For example, the current 8-bottle Cellar 1 is $251.85 ($31.41 per bottle). Last year's price for 8-bottle Cellar 1 was $219 ($27.38 per bottle).

I am wondering how much HAL will increase the price by the time I board the cruise next year????

 

To avoid the risk of paying more at time I board, I am thinking of pre-purchasing wine packages now to lock in the price,

and then select what I want when I get onboard.

 

My question is: Will HAL honor or guarantee the price  if I buy the package now, even if the package price has gone up by the time I board?

Yes

 

We have bought bottles of vodka before the ship sailed and when we got on the ship, the price had increased.  We were not charged any more.

Never experienced any problem whatsoever.

Thanks for the answer I was hoping for.

 

Since my nose and palette are not trained to recognize the difference between Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti Grand Cru, Screaming Eagle, or 2 Buck Chuck, I am more interested in saving money when I can. Regardless of what the wine selection will be, I am going to order several packages now, rather than risk having to pay higher prices in 8 more months.

Of course, we all like to know the results in about 365 days 😉
