transatlantic fan Posted July 18, 2017 #126 Share Posted July 18, 2017 No, they still do it. $8.50 + 15% per day. Cheers I won't be paying that then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare david,Mississauga Posted July 19, 2017 #127 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The Cunard website has now been updated with the new bar menu prices, although my Voyage Personaliser still has the link to the old menus. https://ask.cunard.com/help/life-on-board/drink_cost Sent from my iPad using Forums Thanks for posting this. I notice that the Commodore Club menu for the QM2 lists gins twice: once as "gin and tonic" and again as gin under the heading of Spirits. The prices are the same for gin and tonic or just gin.

Classiccruiser777 Posted July 19, 2017 #128 Share Posted July 19, 2017 What's next? Smaller glasses, charge for ice, additional "service" charge if not sitting at the bar and the waiter brings the drink to your table? This on top of more cabins and passengers being crammed into the ships. I doubt staff was increased to maintain service levels Our switch to Oceania is looking better and better.

I like Oceania but wouldn't give up on Cunard. As i mentioned two days ago, Oceania's gratuities on drinks is 18%: shock horror? :evilsmile: Cheers.

Bell Boy Posted July 19, 2017 #130 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Same on HAL 18/% ( Koningsdam last year) Solent Richard. Not only that, one had to order from the bar ( in all venues) collect the drink and take it back to your seat. No selection of Canapés only a half 'shaker jar' of nuts. :mad: I'll stick with Cunard too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillylovesseabourn Posted July 19, 2017 #131 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Oceanias drinks prices and gratuities are the most expensive i have come across on a cruise,by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceania however is a premium line that markets to a much more affluent demographic. Smaller ships mean less economy of scale and therefore higher fares. The vast majority of Cunard passengers are everyday people who book standard accommodations. (Now that NCL owns most of Oceania, I wonder if that board will lament than Oceania is "free styled down" the way some here say that Cunard has been "Carnivalized". :eek: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His philosophy of marketing and value pricing is being implemented at NCL. And as a frequent O customer I haven't seen any debasement of the brand since Bob Binder, another co-founder of O, took over as O's CEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but then there is the general higher standard of food plus no 'surcharge for speciality dining. It's all swings and roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
