Drink Price Fake Advertising

[Icesk8rReedy]

I feel like I could have written this very post from the OP.  Exact same thing happened to me.  I was all excited and then saw it wasn't a sale at all but the same price as normal.  So I will see what Black Friday does and the price for my sailing goes below $51/day then I will get it.  If not, then I'll buy it when it does go back to $51.  It fluctuates weekly between $55 and $51.

They have some price drops today. Our Allure 2020 sailing dropped to $42.00 today.

They are not always more expensive.

 

But they are also not always the cheapest.

 

I can't comment on their service or their baggage handling.

 

Im just in shock at where Spirit is ranked

I think that’s because people expect the worst and are pleasantly surprised when thing work out.

I never know what the price is for a drink on the ship because we always buy the drink package. Is there a way to see what the prices are? We are headed out on Adventure in Jan and I would be curious to see a price list.

I wish mine would.  I literally check every single day and it's sitting at $51 and sometimes goes to $55.  Even BlackFriday and today (CyberMonday) it hasn't dropped.

Probably based solely on favorable ratings for airfare price.

I was also quite surprized by that.

It works.

 

Because most consumers assume they are getting a good deal, and don't check and shop.

 

You see the same thing in hotels and airlines.

 

There is a reason SW Airline is NOT on any of the comparison sites. 😄

 

It's mostly because SW/Air Namibia really aren't particularly popular with people here.

🙂

 

Another trick, fool people into what they think they're buying, by using abbreviations and codes that don't actually correlate.

Same here.  Have a 1/31 sailing, that is holding at $51 (down from $55).  That would make drink package for 2 cost more than the cruise.

There isn't much to compare SW Airline with.  You get what you pay for, which isn't much, but bad attitudes and lost baggage.
I haven't talked to anyone who has ever flown SW that didn't have their baggage take a MUCH longer voyage than they took.
 

We fly SW several times every year and have for more than the past 10 years and we've never had lost baggage nor have we encountered bad attitudes (by employees, fellow passengers are occasionally, but not often, a different story).

 

We look at the comparison sites and on SW's site and have nearly always had a better price on SW than on any other airline that flies direct from our city.  And have had much better experiences on SW than on Delta or United.  (The one time each I flew those two airlines, I regretted taking the cheaper fare they offered.  Lesson learned--sometimes it is worth paying a little more.)
