sdnich Posted December 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2022 No it makes me wonder if I should book my beverage package for my March cruise today? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamer321 Posted December 19, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) I upgraded last night from classic to premium. I would expect the upgrade price would increase $1 to $2 per day but since I was going to upgrade anyway I went ahead and did it before the price increase. I'm also expecting drink prices across the board will increase $1 to $3. Will see tomorrow. Edited December 19, 2022 by dreamer321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted December 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) As far as I know nothing has been released that says in the package price will increase. What is known is : the the policy that allowed 1 passenger in the cabin to have a beverage package while the 2nd + did not have to have a package is changing. Now everyone( legal age) has to have a package or no one has a package with some exceptions. Also there will be Zero Proof packages. The price limit on the Classic and Premium is being raised.

Now It clearly says in the FAQ's The new pricing for the Classic, Premium, & Zero Proof (Premium Non-Alcoholic) Drink Packages takes effect on December 19, 2022 for pre-cruise purchases. New pricing onboard takes place on the dates below. This price increase will not be added to those guests/groups that purchased Classic, Premium, & Zero Proof (Premium Non-Alcoholic) Drink Packages before December 19, 2022. If there was no intention to "increase prices" why would it say this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted December 19, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 19, 2022 So I just added in my premium beverage package on to my cruise only through Blue chip club. The price from premium package has gone from $84 to $109 tomorrow!! I spent 25 minutes on the phone on hold to save 20% with my elite plus ! well worth the time😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted December 19, 2022 #10 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Increase the price and decrease what is available. Great way to increase or make up for lost revenue. On our last cruise in Oct many of the spirits that were listed in the premium weren’t available because of a supply issue. Strange that the everything included in the Classic were. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted December 19, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Didn’t realize this was happening and Blue Chip Club is closed so I had to book on line. Didn’t get my 20% discount, but still cheaper than what it will be once the price goes up. 😩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t really have any other option. Not sure if I call in the morning if they will give me the discount, but either way it’s cheaper now. It did have a 9% discount so was $75/day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmachine Posted December 19, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 19, 2022 $84 to $109? That is almost a 30% increase. And almost… abusive. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zitsky Posted December 19, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know the old AND new upgrade prices? From classic to premium? I see numbers thrown around here but they seem to be package prices. I’m on classic from All Included. I want to upgrade to premium.

CruiseCrew123 Posted December 19, 2022 #18 Share Posted December 19, 2022 On my cruise planner the premium is $109 and the classic $69 so that would make the upgrade $40 plus gratuities 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my September October Equinox cruise I overheard a sommelier telling a guest that many with the Premium package were drinking wines from Basic. What a money grabber.

But it's a non-necessity. If anything they're doing you a favor for your health if it makes you reconsider upgrading. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCrew123 Posted December 19, 2022 #24 Share Posted December 19, 2022 They must just be rolling out the prices on the app as classic now says $89 so only a $20 up charge now - still the 2nd large increase in a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarose Posted December 19, 2022 #25 Share Posted December 19, 2022 glad I got the classic package via AI for next summer. I don't mind paying the upcharge for a drink or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
