The instructor is on board already, and presumably gets paid regardless of how many people take up the two free classes option. The added classes seem to be done through a licensing/sales deal (all the classes offered are branded) I bet they will try the hard sell to get people to book more than the 2 free offered. Due to health limitations my Mom can’t participate so these offer 0 value. Not a real perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tea so will figure it out for me personally 2 changes on the coffee pkg t&c: # of specialty coffees & price varies based on voyage. Also cannot trade minibar for it. So the pkg is still offered. Still wonder what I can trade minibar for. No….this has been the verbage for years. This is not new. Nothing to do with Elite swap. The missing item here….their hasty pricing update….THEY DELETED they PRICE of the coffee package. They just don’t update old information. That’s why there are so many questions. TYPICAL.

Now it states # determined by itinerary. Also new t&c omits any reference to tea, which was there last week. Also states varies by ship. But will know Saturday It did say specialty teas, you’re right. But, I can’t believe they would change a few sentences IF they were discontinuing this package. Doesn’t make sense.

Now it says: "specified number of specialty coffees (numbers vary by itinerary)" I think the big issue here is, we are analyzing the T & C here, not the verbage on the actual beverage package page. Where the package is still shown, on my end, but the price is missing. So, we will have to see from ON THE JOB EXPERIENCE! 🙄 That lead me to believe they were going to increase the price. But, one knows that is meaningless with the IT updates. Zero-Alcohol Drink Package Classic Soda Package New Grounds Coffee Package *Price listed is in USD and excludes service charge. An 18% service charge will be applied to all itineraries excluding Australia. Purchase price may vary due to currency exchange rates. Beverage package charges are calculated based on the total number of days of your cruise. Packages must be purchased for full length of voyage, cannot be shared, are non-transferable and are non-refundable within 3 days of sailing.

There was a limit of 15 specialty coffees during the cruise, but unlimited brewed coffees during the cruise. Thus, I do not know how accurate the rest of the notice your TA received is. I think we understood what that meant - it was limited to 15 speciality coffees (not brewed coffee). My TA was getting a lot of questions and asked for clarification and this is what she was sent.

Rare PacnGoNow Posted February 24, 2023 #161 Share Posted February 24, 2023 So, even though the new classic soda package is not shown to order, others ate stating the prices are increased and your TA can book it for you. That thread is Soda Package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted February 24, 2023 #162 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Well, we board tomorrow so will find out the scoop. I am really interested in finding out if we can just update our plus to the premier package on the app and use our OBC to do so. I will come back and report my progress. I am also interested in knowing the cost of a glass of Rombauer Chardonnay and a glass of Seghesio Zinfandel. I guess I will find out soon enough. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Regal last November there were brewed coffee machines in the buffet (no more liquid concentrate). As a result there was no brewed coffee available at the International Cafe, only specialty coffees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowelf Posted February 24, 2023 #167 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Interestingly the Coffee, Classic Soda and Zero-Proof packages do not show up online in the Cruise Personalizer for my journey on the Enchanted Princess starting on the 23rd.

Happiest when cruising Posted February 25, 2023 #173 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) 17 hours ago, justafem said: Most cruisers might try 1 class, after that the majority won't. Those that exercise regularly are already there, those of us who are tourists hardly know where the gym is, nor do we care! But by making it seem like it's another perk... it's marketing. Like the fancy desserts. We'll order 1, just to try it out and that's probably it. As will most adults. But the kids with the plus package? That's what's going to sell the price difference to the kids and parents wallets. Kids are going to get their fill of dessert, 2 of them a day. Happy kids. And soda and if they choose, fancy nonbooze drinks. I think that's what princess is aiming for. I sure wouldn’t let my kids have two of those in a week, never mind a day. It is bad enough those soft drinks and mocktails are endless…so much sugar and empty calories.
