chamima Posted June 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Someone asked this on another thread with a misleading title. Does someone who has cruised recently know the answer to this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyanne Posted June 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Someone asked this on another thread with a misleading title.Does someone who has cruised recently know the answer to this?

jerwick Posted June 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2014 We were on the Grand 6-1 and still $5. But it has been the practice on most ships to allow you to get any of the featured drinks for the $5 price. Midway thru the cruise bartender said they received an email from corporate disallowing that practice. So only time will tell if all ships adhere to this.

bhopal21 Posted June 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2014 price as of April was $6 Which ship was this? Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandiGreg Posted June 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I would still consider $6 a reasonable price. The drinks are consistently not diluted down like in some (non ship) bars. The view/coziness/atmosphere of Skywalkers (if that is the locale) is very nice. And, you have some nice appetizers at no extra charge (shrimp or smoked salmon is better than bar peanuts). I have been to some places in Las Vegas that charge twice that price. Unless you are at an Applebee's happy hour or such, it is quite reasonable (and no sales tax!):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted June 12, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) price as of April was $6Which ship? This appears to contradict what others have posted.We were on the 5/26 Caribbean Princess sailing and the special drink of the day was still $5. We were on the Grand 6-1 and still $5.Princess has rolled out price increases before. When they raised the price to $5 I believe the Coral and Island were among the first to increase prices and it took well over six months for all ships to go to $5 from $3.99.

LewesBeach Posted June 15, 2014 #22 Share Posted June 15, 2014 price as of April was $6 Do we have a confirmation on which ship it's $6? Could this be the beginning of a rollout fleet-wide to raise the price? Berni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
