Price for Beer on Superbowl cruise?

[jbkinny]

:eek: My cousin called today about her Superbowl Cruise. About 2 weeks ago they offered a great florida resident rate for the Carinval Insperation last minute.$ 525.00 fo both. She said the price for 1 coors lite was $5.35.

She check the price for last years Carinval trip and same beer was $3.15.

I told her would ask you all if Carinval can rise prices just because they offerd a low cost cruise and also knowing there would be alot of beer drinkers on board because of Superbowl?????

Beer prices in general have gone up over the last year or so.... I don't think they raised it, but I also don't think it was $3.15 last year. I'll have to look at my drink prices, but I think the cheapest I remember it being was $3.50 plus 15%.

Not sure what cruise they were on a year ago, here is a link to the beverage menu I got on the Liberty in Dec 2005, beer is $4.50 for a 16oz, there is a domestic 12oz for $3.50, I know the 16oz price was just over $5 in September.

 

I don't think they were comparing apples to apples, and there is no way they would "re-print" all their beverage menus just for one week...

I doubt they would charge more for one sailing...I do know they actually offered beer discounts on Liberty while the game was on:

Carnival

In addition to showing the game in various lounges and bars, including the huge 270-square-ft. LED screen on Carnival Liberty, Carnival will be offering beer specials -- with buckets of beers available at an especially discounted rate -- along with food stations at all viewing venues with chicken fingers, southwestern-style egg rolls, coconut shrimp, steak sandwiches and other fare.
