I got the same note.

At $60 a day per person, that is outside my price range. 

I m sure that I can do better by paying 'a la carte' and IF i can not, then I will just have to cut back altogether and say 'it was a good run while it lasted!'

We were always boarder line with the old package and pricing so this new, improved package has taken all the consideration out of the picture. 

I suppose there were to many purchasing the Plus package & they thought the increase wouldn't be noticed. What makes me laugh is including a few items that are completely meaningless to us.

I'm on a cruise why would I want a fitness class. I'm on board to eat, drink and relax. I'll exercise when I get home to try and take off the extra pounds, I put on eating, drinking and relaxing.

I'm not a big dessert person so those fancy ones being offered means nothing.
