Yeah, losing roughly 18 months of business shouldn't be hard for the cruise lines to recover from. I personally don't think NCL is gouging anybody on the drink package or for raising the price for whatever liquor they want to charge for. Most passengers are paying for gratuity only on drink packages. So we can agree to disagree. I want to drink so I am paying for the drink package. Yes, the upgraded one. You can spin it how you like, it is supply and demand. If people still want Bailey's, they will pay for it. The value of every package and loyalty program has changed. NCL will charge whatever they want without our approval. PERIOD!!! . I think the value of an NCL drink package is worth every $$ and I love the ships. I don't have an issue with a corporation making profit. I like what NCL has to offer and I am willing to pay for what NCL offers that has value to me.
