Briitini Posted April 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I just called into customer service and told her I was sailing on the Breeze tomorrow and that I have been reading online that the price has went up. She did a price check and the ONLY ship that is NOT $42.95 plus 15% gratuity is the Carnival Victory. Only the Victory is $49.95 + 15% gratuity. Hope this helps out.

missypriss19 Posted April 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I wonder why the Victory is more. Are they testing the waters to see if they can get away with charging more money for the program?:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlk806 Posted April 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Maybe because it is the only ship that offers Cheers that does shorter cruises, they feel like more people are going to outdrink themselves and thus Carnival loses money on the shorter cruises versus the longer ones.

I was thinking the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes total sense. I read that one of the reasons for the alcoholic beverage packages is that cruisers spend more on alcohol the first few days of a cruise and with the package the cruiselines are GUARENTEED bar revenue for the length of the cruise. Booze is cheap and the servers are there already, so they might as well be working.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missypriss19 Posted April 21, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I just looked up the cruises on the Victory and they offer 4 & 5 day cruises. There are a lot of ships that offer these cruises and even some that offer 3 day cruises. So I dont get it. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencercoop Posted April 21, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The Victory is the only ship doing short cruises that has Cheers, Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlk806 Posted April 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The Victory is the only ship doing short cruises that has Cheers, Correct? Yes. In short, the only reason the Victory has it is because it recently was doing 7-day cruises... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirasmom Posted April 21, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm sailing on the victory in August. I will still get my $$ worth at 49 vs 42. I just hope they keep the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
