sm9690 Posted September 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2021 So I only booked a bella inside guaranteed cabin, my cabin has been allocated and it now shows the premium drinks package and fantastica included - is this just a glitch or do they sometimes give this as an upgrade? My ticket doesn't show it being included as I didn't pay for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted September 18, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Never seen a drinks package added in an upgrade - nor an upgrade from one Experience (Bella) to another (Fantastica). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - you still have the Bella Experience in a Fantastica cabin by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah probably what's happened is the system has seen the fantastica cabin allocation and got confused as the fantastica comes with the premium drinks. I'm not expecting it to be applied, though it would be nice haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know where that particular poster is from but the gratuities are included in the fare for Ireland and the UK (as well as port fees and taxes). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also managed to get a status match with Accor gold so I now have a nice new gold cruise card ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
