cruise flotsam Posted December 19, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I like it the way it is. I do not drink alcohol and am happy to pay for the extras when I want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say make more stuff "pay extra" and keep the cruise price low and have those that need all the extras pay for them as they go, but let me alone with the cost for it if I don´t intend to use it.

lilybob Posted December 19, 2011 #6 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'd pay a little more in the fare to have decent coffee (I know, subjective), bottled water, and cans of soda. Even if there was a limit on the water and soda or a price that doesn't seem so exorbitant when you did pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted December 19, 2011 #7 Share Posted December 19, 2011 With all-inclusive alcohol there would be a lot of over-indulging and 'booze cruises'. Not good. I realise there are some cruiselines that offer wine with meals, but this would probably be a limited amount. These cruiselines are at the top-end of the market and maybe wouldn't attract the 'booze-cruise' crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted December 19, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 19, 2011 nothing. if I want all inclusive I will sail with a line that already has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted December 19, 2011 #9 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm happy with the way it is, now. Actually, I'd like it better if there were charges to be entertained. We rarely go to any of the on-board shows, nor do we participate in the games and other silliness, yet I'm sure part of the fare we pay goes to support them. We're happy to pay for the beverages we drink, although perhaps including some non-alcoholic beverages would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcvt Posted December 19, 2011 #10 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think it might be nice as an option. However, there are so many variables, it's almost impossible to say how much I would be willing to spend on such an option. It would depend heavily on itinerary, dining options, etc. If I was on a cold Atlantic crossing, as opposed to a warn Caribbean adventure, I probably wouldn't be having as many poolside drinks. If I was on a ship with very few specialty restaurants, I'd eat in the MDR more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted December 19, 2011 #11 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I would not want to pay additional money to have alcohol included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bplazo Posted December 19, 2011 #12 Share Posted December 19, 2011 As anothe poster said, I do not want to pay extra for services that I do not use. I think that they should charge for alot more on the ship and charge even less for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magenta321 Posted December 19, 2011 #18 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Nothing. I like to pay as I go, and even after my 2 week transatlantic, we didn't spend more than our OBCs could cover (just worked out that way). I would pay a little more to get "free" medical care when needed on the ship. I do pay for travel insurance, but it's not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked this on the following boards: Carnival, HAL, RCI, NCL, Celebrity and here. I recommend you go post this on Regent, Oceania, Crystal, and Seabourn. You might see a completely different result in answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted December 19, 2011 #22 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I am happy with he way things are now. We are not big drinkers. No way would I want to be paying indirectly for someone else to be having multiple drinks. Even though we do use the alternative restarants - we don't use it as much as some other people I have read here. So again -- why would I pay for them to eat all the time in the a;ternative restaurants? We don't even drink sodas or anything along that line.

I would pay a little more to get "free" medical care when needed on the ship. I do pay for travel insurance, but it's not the same. Like Magenta, I do not want to pay for things I do not use or use little. In fact, I do not want to pitch in toward his/her visits to the medical center (never been there, hope never to be there, will claim on travel insurance if I ever must go). That should not surprise Magenta, who does not want to help buy my drinks;). People will naturally wish to have things they utilize included in the fare while excluding the things they do not use. Human nature, but unworkable. Please keep it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted December 19, 2011 #25 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Oh my. I just realized you posted this on many forums? Why? would ask a cruise question be enough if you are interested in general consensus? Or just one specific line of interest? I hope the moderators combine them so you can see all the NOs in one place:eek:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
