Re: Will Cruise lines start optional pricing!
From my own experience they started this some time ago.
Two examples of this would be, HAL - coffee bar used to be free - now they charge, RCCL soda with dinner used to be free now they charge.
I have booked group cruises in the past and there were not charges for additional items for the group. For the group that I am doing that is leaving this Sunday, I planned a birthday party. The cost for the cake including set up fee and serving would have cost me over $130 for about 30 people. We will celebrate the birthday but in a different venue.
Fortunately I work with excellent reps from the various cruise line and they will assist me in finding alternative ways of doing things.
One area I hope they never charge for or cut back is room service. I enjoy getting my coffee brought to me in the morning and having tea before I go to sleep.
