The noise from their pool deck was overwhelming. That alone put me off ever considering them. Much worse is being berthed adjacent to a Carnival ship. Loud DJ music blasting away the entire time..no one on our ship had any peace !

X has been "giving away" the beverage package for many years in a variety of promotions (123 Go, BBB, etc) IMO all-inclusive is just another name for same package of percs. Difference is now guests are unable to opt out. Sounds like they paid for a marketing study to validate something they have been doing all along.

When it gets lower, we will change over for the pricing... No complaints here, so far. bon voyage Interesting. When did you originally book your cruise? Did you have one of the BBB options on your booking? How many perks in your original booking? Several people have reported the same experience. I cannot really compare my October booking, because I have the Best bundle and my category of cabin is sold out.

wrk2cruise Posted December 2, 2020 #475 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) It's really going to depend on when you booked your original reservation and what perks you included (paid for). Prices went way up a few months ago. If you booked in the last couple months with at least 2 perks I don't think you will see a significant increase. I looked at the 2 perk price for my 8 reservations the day before AI was included and the day after. Pricing was pretty much the same. However both of these prices were on average 90% more (ranging from 35% to 151%). Granted about 1/2 of the sailings have been L&S. Most were booked over a year ago.
