sammybonny Posted April 25, 2018 #102 Share Posted April 25, 2018 This is from my cruise personaliser for my June cruise, quite shocking really. We are in the UK too and cruise in July on Royal Princess and I noticed the increase last night although I couldnt remember exactly how much it was previously. Unfortunately I hadnt got round to purchasing it yet. Grrr . Looks like I will need to buy some at our first stop! No way am I paying £1.36 for a small bottle of water. I must admit though before the increase I did think it was very cheap. Sent from my SM-T580 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it’s fixed, I’m buying my water and not waiting like I did the last time they took it away and then brought it back. Hopefully, the price is the same as before.

Maybe slightly more for others over here due to exchange rate when you booked. Sent from my VFD 900 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted April 26, 2018 #110 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Of course, for NOW, they just had to put the price back at the the original pricing. Same old tactics.... make the new, inflated price, look more palatable. Doesn't mean that they have not already planned to put a 'more reasonable' price increase in place. I would order now!!!!

Safety Squirrel Posted April 26, 2018 #113 Share Posted April 26, 2018 [quote=canadarocks;55922016]Holy moly! Just checked my January cruise (which I've already bought a case of water for) and this is what is listed now..... :eek: Bottled Water Package CA$29.33 for 12 (500 ml) bottles 12 (500 ml) bottles of water conveniently delivered to the stateroom. Price includes service charge. For pre-purchase ONLY through Gift Guide or Cruise Personalizer I paid CA$8.63 !!! Hi -- water is back on my personalizer at $8.63 (Canadian). As I am a huge water drinker and cruise is 22 days -- I ordered 5 cases (I usually drink 3-5 bottles per day). Confirmation received and payment confirmed.:D Very happy that Princess went back to the original price. As noted on the various threads about the increase in the water package -- I am sure there are a lot of people purchasing the water "just in case" there is another change.

suzyed Posted April 26, 2018 #114 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Naw, I think the "can I catch my 6:30 am flight" still beats it Now that is funny! ROFL! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzyed Posted April 26, 2018 #115 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Other good ideas. Pay toilets - $ 3 Pay TP - $ 7.50 +tip per roll MUTS - $5. $ 8 gets you popcorn Shopping show $ 9. Entry - this is a good idea Buffet Coffee - they give you 50 cents, if you drink it. Don't give them any ideas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted April 26, 2018 #119 Share Posted April 26, 2018 when was the last time Princess / Carnival changed a policy back to the way it was before the change based on customer dissatisfaction? coffee card expiration aibp to pbp? excursions When the Regal on its inaugural cruise started to charge $10 for pizza in Alfredo's.

caribill Posted April 26, 2018 #120 Share Posted April 26, 2018 It’s been a couple of months since canceling BOGO$1 happy hours & we’re still waiting for the replacement they said they’re creating. The replacement package is buy one at regular price and get a second one for the regular price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted April 26, 2018 #121 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I was in my Cruise Personalizer today & found that water is no longer an option for purchase (12 bottles for $6.90 - which used to be available only for pre-cruise purchase). I thought it might be a web glitch, so I called Princess. They have taken it off the choices and are "working on a new package" to take its place. We apologize for the pricing error. We are in the process of refunding the price difference from guests who purchased the water bottle package over the past day. The price will be fixed in Cruise Personalizer shortly. If this was just a pricing error, why were the phone reps saying that the original pricing was removed on purpose and a new package was being developed? Were they told to say this or do reps just make something up when callers ask questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
