smarcbie Posted April 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2022 As many, I was hoping for an Easter sale on UBP, dining and excursions. What happened instead was a giant price increase. My 5-night dining went from $122 to $157, UBP went from $66 to $73 (the new sale price), and an excursion I was watching went from $84 to $124. I see that the 'base price' for unlimited beverages also increased from $88 to $98. Has anyone else notice their cruise planner items jump in $$? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices go up and down. If you have anything in your cart, think about taking it out. Those sales aren't really sales and you'll probably see them back to the cheaper prices again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDawg Posted April 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Like the 70's bellbottoms and inflation are in! I'm breaking out my leisure suit for my next cruise. Peace out baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted April 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Someone who is usually "in the know" said that a "sale" starts tomorrow. They probably raised prices so that they can put them "on sale" tomorrow. 😄 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted April 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yup, that is usually how it works. I will be checking tomorrow since the Easter Bunny didn't bring me any internet sales this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are starting to put some items in the cruise planner for early 2023 other than Coco Cay. Prices are stupid but at least things are available. Sorta. For example, if looking at all the offerings on the page I see the beverage package. But, if selecting Beverage Packages from the menu/drop-down, the planning message still shows.

smarcbie Posted April 19, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Someone needs to tell royal the definition of the word sale. My planner items for a cruise in Nov didn't just increase a tad but rocketed into the stratosphere. Time for me to revolt. I'm not buying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excursions posted but these pictures of excursions dont fit my cruise. I'm hoping to do the Panama locks .. from colon Panama. None of these pictures look like my cruise ports. Sydney... as in australia? Not from Galveston texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, new sale is $7 more per day. They raised the base price by $10 a day, so I don't see it going any lower. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
