debtmkr Posted November 9, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Check out the blog on oasisoftheseas.com Speaking of “sweet” experiences, there have been lots of questions about the Cupcake Cupboard and the pricing of the cupcakes. We are charging $2.50 per cupcake or $12.50 for a half dozen and $20.00 for a dozen cupcakes. We are probably really under charging and will have problems keeping enough “stock” because we compared these prices to the hottest cupcake stores around and the going price for cupcakes is mostly in the range of $4+ per cupcake and $36.00 per dozen, but let’s see how it goes.

bragstarr Posted November 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2009 You beat me out....I was running over here to post the same information! Not bad; I'll be there a couple of times for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyNutMary Posted November 9, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I know I will probably drop a bundle on cupcakes :D I'm also looking forward to the cupcake decorating classes, I wonder what the charge will be for those... if it's not too bad, maybe I will go to more than one class during my cruise. Cupcakes are my alcohol... I am not a drinker, my DH is usually the one to run up a bar bill, while I rarely charge anything. Cupcakes will be my vice for the duration of the cruise :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdmelani Posted November 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2009 thats a lot better than what they charge here in NYC. I will b partaking (if they are open!) on the 11/30 naming cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted November 9, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2009 So what happened to all the doomsday predictions about six dollar cupackes? Now they are going to sell for about a third of that. It just goes to show how the Oasis "haters" are stirring up needlessly exaggerated scenarios to persuade people not to book this ship.

ocngypz Posted November 9, 2009 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I should think the $2.50 each, would be the basic cupcake. Anything fancier, will carry a much higher price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_Kitten Posted November 9, 2009 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm happy about the prices....it's low enough for me to splash out and treat myself but high enough to only make me want to buy one or 2 a week and not go crazy. CK x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bragstarr Posted November 9, 2009 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I totally agree with the concept. We're on vacation to enjoy ourselves. Drinking is not a big deal with me (except for BBCs) but a nice yellow cupcake with a good rich chocolate frosting...now THAT'S paradise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted November 9, 2009 #10 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I see a birthday cupcake in my future:D I hadn't considered that, but we'll be sailing on my birthday next year, so I'll probably be having one (or a few) then, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvKirsch Posted November 9, 2009 #13 Share Posted November 9, 2009 OMG..Charging for cupcakes! I cannot believe that no one is opposed to this idea. Little by little the cruise lines are moving towards "nickel & dime-ing" people to death. $2.50 is not a lot, granted, but really...think about this. There is a premium to cruise on the Oasis right not, and that is understandable...but to charge for cup-cakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want free sweets then head down to the Cafe Promenade where they have cookies and other sweet goods for free. It's no different than heading up to the Windjammer for free ice cream over paying for Ben and Jerry's. The list can go on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuddles14 Posted November 10, 2009 #15 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Well, when I'm on vacation I like to treat myself. $2.50 is not bad at all even if it's for the basic cupcake. I intend to make a purchase (or two). After all it's vacation time!!!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time though, those are gonna have to be some pretty delicious cupcakes for me to make that choice :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just goes to show how the Oasis "haters" are stirring up needlessly exaggerated scenarios to persuade people not to book this ship. This is reason enough not to book. If they cant throw in a cupcake in the price of the cruise, they can shove it. Let hope the cupcake will sink the Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
