Drinks prices gone up very recently?

[kayelbee]

I noticed the Captain's and Commodore's Wine packages have not only gone up in price very recently (£134 for 6 bottles Captain's and £178 Commodore's) but some wines which were previously Captains are now Commodore (Gavi di Gavi)

Does anyone have a wine and other drinks list from the last couple of weeks so we can see the new prices and see if the packages are still reasonable value?

I don't have the list but Vergelegen is £34 and is included in the Captain's package.

Thanks Cathygh, I assume you recommend this wine?

Drink prices have gone up over the past year, as has the drinks package.

I can post some later once I get back onboard Azura, but the prices do seem to have snuck up a bit recently - and the impact it seems to have had is fewer people in the Planet Bar drinking than in the past but no difference in Brodies where it is still rammed full.

A few extracts from the current menus -

Yes I do, I ordered it not having tried it before and not realising its price.

It has been a glorious 25c here in Funchal today, so I certainly hope so.

Drink prices went up on Iona on 28th October.

So how many times is that this year 2 or 3?

[TigerB]

I believe just twice so far this year, in May and September.  

When we were on Iona between 28th October and 11th November, the printed menus in the bars reflected the price increase, but those on the My Holiday app (non-app) hadn't been updated since the May increase. That was a fleet wide error as I wrote in my reports.

Hi

Im sure I saw this posted earlier today,,,it seems to have vanished.

With my PC discount (7.5%) it makes a 14nt DP down to £930.

Thats made my mind up.

@JeanieC,Aston, hopefully you will get the PC discount too. However, when I recently booked a gift package with the Black Friday discount of 20% I wasn't able to apply the PC discount too.
