Overwhelming. Dietary restrictions & ppl taking a nauseating amount of food --- honestly no one goes hungry but they looked more like grocery shopping than getting a late dinner Bottom line: I'll join you on a Royal-class ship but not in World Place Market!! (Okay, might run in to fill my disposable cup if not simply buying it at IC) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeii Posted March 1, 2023 #277 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Just saw that the old coffee package (the one without the price) is no longer on the website under No-alcohol Drink Packages....maybe they're getting ready to add the new one.

Well, just noticed it is available now on the web site. IDK, getting the Plus package for $40 (all non-alcohol + WiFi + Gratuities) not that long ago, to fork out $36pp for just for non-alcohol drinks just doesn't sound like much of a bargain to me (JMHO): 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is why. Let's suppose Guest John Doe thinks no alcohol for his party - I will get the new Zero package for $30 + Grats = $35.39 each. But, just a sec there - Guest Doe also pays $16/day for Crew Incentive and likes to be connected, so MedallionNet cost is either $15 or $7.50 per day. Add those up and you get either $66.39 or $58.89, so the $60 Plus is a NO BRAINER in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a deal for me. I mainly drink water. Sometimes I’ll have a soda or a specialty coffee but not every day. After the crew incentive and wifi ( if I even get wifi) I’d have a hard time drinking 36.50 a day. In some cases that’s a whole other cruise I could take.

After the crew incentive and wifi ( if I even get wifi) I’d have a hard time drinking 36.50 a day. In some cases that’s a whole other cruise I could take. Perhaps I could have been clearer, but I was giving a hypothetical example of a guest who does do enough drinking to think they would purchase the Zero Alcohol Package. But, they should just get the Plus instead as my math showed - and they can have that odd drink from the bar. I don't buy any sort of package. I go a la carte and pay both Crew Incentive and MedallionNet separately. With an Elite Minibar, a starter water package, and my own wine, I have no need for any drink package, so I am like you. My only point was that the Zero Alcohol beverage package makes no sense to me as the typical guest who might be interested in it may as well just book the Plus Fare option. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally when I am just about to get to Elite, it goes away. We don’t bother with alcohol or soda very much, so we’ll see if they have anything else to offer. How about a beautiful flower arrangement for the cabin? I’d love that. I feel your pain. Just as we hit platinum they took away the free internet minutes. Now we’re are almost Elite and this will be gone. We don’t drink pop and I can get free water from the dispenser in the bathroom. I’d like a nice OBC or a Crown Grill dinner in lieu, but not hopeful. Feel like we are chasing a moving target here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard how the ship will handle the Old Coffee packages (15+ specialty and unlimited regular coffee) that you have pre purchased for a cruise in Sept. We have also pre purchased the Classic Soda Package that's approximately $11.79 per day for the Sept cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
