50% increase in non-alcoholic drink package?

[Nightowl11]

Still super high today June 2, 2024 for non-alcoholic drinks.  $45 US on sale for $32.99.  Way too much for a few sodas.  Too bad the bartenders will have to deal with ringing up all of our drinks.  Anyone know where to get a 12 pack near Vancouver cruise terminal?

Does someone know what the current price onboard is for the non alcoholic drink package?

As usually with Celebrity It is a moving target 

prices are different on each cruise , as is the discount

at one time on our cruise full price was $41 CAD , with 10% discount for a total of $36 CAD , Celebrity than decided to have a sale , they raised the price to $61 CAD with a 25% discount , for a price of $46 CAD

Mine is currently at $32.99/day - ever since the Memorial day sale.  It most often is $26.99/day.  I expect it to go down to that well before the July sale.  If they do as usual, they'll increase to $32.99 during the 4th of July sale at which they'll lower the standard & premium alcohol packages.  This is what seems most common across most cruises, but some itineraries have the packages at a higher rate.  I haven't figured out if the higher pricing is by ship or location or what.

I know who knows 😉😁

I was wrong about what the non alcohol package was going to do - at least for my sailing.  It has stayed at 32.99/day.

 

The other 2 packages have jumped all around since the holiday sale.  They jump to full price sometimes - 84.99 and 99.99.  Sometimes they are at the lowest I've seen them: 54.99 and 64.99.  And right now they are at 67.99 and 79.99.  

 

I'm still undecided if I prefer to have a 'tipsy' trip or not.  I can drink enough booze to make the alcohol package pay for itself, but I don't drink enough soda/specialty coffees to make the non alcohol package make sense.

I made the mistake of not purchasing the drink package a few months ago when it was lower, and I did not realize it would go up so much just like that. Now I don't see the value in it at all. It will cost 683 dollars for the non-alcoholic package for my husband and I on an 8 day cruise! There is no way we are drinking 683 dollars worth of water and soda in 8 days. He does like his coffee, but even with lattes, we wouldn't come close to that. I think it's pretty ridiculous. 

 

I have periodically checked over and over and it remains much higher than it was. That seems ridiculous, so I guess I'm bringing on my own sodas and water. I guess I'm carrying my diet coke to Eden and asking for a glass of ice with dinner!

I’m in the UK and on the 11th May 2024 the non-alcoholic price was £25.90 ppp day and now it’s £38.44 ppp day and that’s Sterling prices not American dollars. Absolutely extortionate - just squeezing every penny out of us!

anyone have any updated USD prices for the drink pkg?
