    Also we look forward to id="hidden2" class="buttons"> meeting you on Don’s group cruise in September. We met him in Sydney and watch all your combined channels every day. See you soon, Hary and Kathy

    @tyworkقبل 9 أشهر I'm getting pretty disturbed about the price hikes. I get it, the cruise companies have debt, but tje nickle and dime stuff is getting out of hand 19
  • @
    @dans6521قبل 9 أشهر The whole Tuscan Raider bit was hilarious Tony. Loved it. They need to take an example from Disney World. They rose prices dramatically during and after id="hidden4" class="buttons"> Covid, and the customers bore the cost for a while, but now bookings are way down. You can break the camels back. Re. Cruising you know full well that once these cruise lines pay off their debt, the prices for things like these specialty restaurants are not going to go back down. The bar for cruise prices is getting awfully steep especially with so much being taken away or diminished in the process. ....وسعت 9

    @LookieLew000قبل 9 أشهر I went on American Cruise Line. This company mainly deals with senior citizens. A few people went with their parents. That's what I did. The suites id="hidden6" class="buttons"> fit 3 adults nicely. That was my room with my parents. Their boats have plenty of outlets. WIFI is included. Tips are included. Boat only holds 100 people. Free cocktail hour before dinner every night. Low key. Excursions are slow paced for seniors. Mid range just means there are stairs. But not a lot. It's more of a relaxing cruise then high energy fun and crowded cruise. ....وسعت 11

    @bettybedsole9915قبل 9 أشهر Cruise lines can raise the specialty restaurants prices all they want. We never eat at any of them. We only cruise once maybe twice a year & watching id="hidden7" class="buttons"> cruise fares going up & up will eventually change our minds about cruising. On the other hand, land trips are going up too. ....وسعت 6

    @debbie8935قبل 9 أشهر Was on Apex in June. Tried 2 specialty dining venue. They were good, but not worth the increased price. Others must have thought the same, as they weren't busy at all when I was there. The buffet was always busy. 1

    @smokeytravelerقبل 9 أشهر Tony B you know we love Princess. It’s sad that our favorite included restaurant is not free unless you pay the up charge or go Princess Plus. It’s hard to not sail on your favorite cruise line, but making us question the value. I think we will be looking into MSC. ....وسعت 2

I worry about some just places that are being challenged at present..I will leave it at that..some places just have problems they did not have before right now and i think that could be the pulling the plug on these cruises..Just followed a couple on a big viking one with 5 days Austria and beginning and 5 days Paris at end..they saw a LOT of places..a bit gentler pace..these American ones could be even more gentle.. ....وسعت

    @gwenmarshall587قبل 9 أشهر I've been doing a lot of cruising this past year so I hadn't been doing much grocery shopping or going to restaurants when I was at home. Now that id="hidden12" class="buttons"> I am at home and have done both. I can see how much prices have gone up at home. I don't think cruise ships are immune from the increase in prices for food. I would rather have an increase in price for specialty food than a decrease in quality. ....وسعت 3

    @marlenekelleyrisner1766قبل 9 أشهر We are booked on Discovery Princess October 28th-November 4th & the 4 of us added the Princess Plus that includes a modified drink package, free wifi id="hidden13" class="buttons"> on one device at a time & crew gratuities. We have since found out that if you did not add it there is a $14.99 per day food charge & additional fees for room service for anything other than the hang your breakfast request. Is this need or greed
    This is my 40th cruise and the quality of food has been diminished everywhere on Princess.

    @rickrich7325قبل 9 أشهر Our recent princes, Alaskan cruise just the cruise cost about $4800 for balcony mini suite. We went two days early to Anchorage so add another probably id="hidden14" class="buttons"> $800 there, +2 excursions so that was another five to $600 plus airfare to Anchorage on Delta comfort seating was about $2200 in the flight home or use points otherwise that would’ve been another I think 1400 - 1500 from Vancouver comfort class so that trip was over $10k ! I’m really wondering how many people as the economy gets worse and worse thanks to the lovely leaders worldwide. No one’s going to be able to afford a cruise every year, most people aren’t going to be able to go anywhere , plus prices, and the credit cards are going to be maxed out as well so then they really aren’t going to be able to afford a trip, especially a cruise. ....وسعت

    @judycohentxقبل 9 أشهر I’ve always enjoyed Alfredo’s; however, the last cruise on the Regal Princess (we were getting off the day you et al were getting on) Alfredo’s was “less than”. The pizza on the Lido deck was better. I’ll bypass Alfredo’s in the future. Too many other options. ....وسعت 1

    @sscooby2uقبل 9 أشهر Just curious, when the price of eggs and other stuff at the grocery store skyrocketed due to inflation was that greed or need? Neither, it was prices being id="hidden19" class="buttons"> adjusted due to higher costs. I think it's a little unreasonable to think pricing is going to remain static. You also didn't mention that HAL is no longer charging for extra apps and entrees - seems like a decent tradeoff ‍♂️ ....وسعت

    @jamie514قبل 9 أشهر The Holland dining price hikes are annoying but also they are a more fair response to the reality of inflation though, and do not simply add a new rediculous id="hidden20" class="buttons"> 60-80 daily per person surcharge just to grant access to some previously free things twice during a cruise (glares at Princess/Alfredos) that were once free. At this point I would rather pay a 5$ more expensive optional dinner a couple times during the cruise than have to take a bloated package of things that were once all inclusive just to get restrictive restaurant access. ....وسعت 3

    @chuckspencer5296قبل 9 أشهر I think you said it best in the live video last night. a Big Mac meal is now over $12 from McDonald's. So my thoughts are this, prices are going id="hidden21" class="buttons"> up everywhere on almost all food items. I think that it just makes sense that the cruise lines would have to make some changes in order to pay for it. I will say, I'm not a fan of a price hike, but I also understand what's going on right now. ....وسعت 24

    @kenelrod4935قبل 9 أشهر We are on a 26 day transAtlantic on Enchanted in a couple of months. We selected the Plus level and now we learn that we will only get 2 casual meals each id="hidden23" class="buttons"> on a 26 day cruise. Seriously? We'd get the same 2 casual meals if we were on a 4 or 5 day cruise yet we are going to be paying the daily Plus rate of $120 (for a couple) for all 26 days. I live-chatted with Princess customer service today, but they kept insisting it was a new "benefit". I basically got no where. At least they should adjust the number of included casual meals to reflect the length of the cruise. C'mon Princess.are you a premium cruise line or what? And how long before this bleeds over into other things. I'm thinking International Cafe.how long before the price tags appear next to the food items? ....وسعت 5

    @jamess5154قبل 9 أشهر Greed or need is not the issue. Like any business they will raise prices until they stop putting butts in the beds. What I do not like is when the marketing id="hidden24" class="buttons"> folks try to claim it is an improvement like Princess is trying to pull off.
    I still have my Commodore but my 3rd power supply died a long time ago. The computer was rugged as heck but the power supplies were junk.

Imagine that! What a deal!!
    Tony, it takes influencers like yourself to band together and let Princess know this new pricing "policy" is not only bad for their reputation, but may also be illegal. We all understand price increases, but do it for new bookings only, Thanks

  • @
    @katherinevanleuven2192قبل 9 أشهر The price of food has gone up drastically, so a $6 increase isn't bad. They had already increased the Canaletto price, so it didn't go up. Since id="hidden28" class="buttons"> it is food I expected this. We reserved our specialty dinners when we made our last payment and paid in advance so our price is locked in.
    So HAL has been holding out as long as they could I think. You still have free room service. The Dive in, the Lido Market Buffet, New York pizza and deli, and the MDR, for free food.
