The Mike and Carla Morning Show did one a few years back, and our listeners had a ball! Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas. Hopefully we can do another one in the not too distant future but for now, enjoy the photos from that magical week!
Carnival Cruise Line announced that they will increase fees for Wi-Fi and crew gratuities this year. They will honor existing prices on prepaid gratuities and internet purchases, so there is still time to prepay before the price goes up.
Internet prices will increase Jan. 16, 2023. The Social package – access to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Linkedin, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, SnapChat and many airline sites – will go up to $12.75 per day( up from $10.20, per day).
The Premium package will now cost $18.70 per day (up from $17 per day). This plan has the fastest connection, with speeds up to 3 times faster than the Value Plan. It supports Skype, Zoom and Teams video calling where coverage allows.
Higher gratuity fees will go into effect on April 1, 2023. The new costs will be $16 per guest, per day, in standard staterooms, and $18 per guest, per day in suites (increasing from $14.50 and $16.50).
A Carnival spokesperson says, “As a reminder, unless they are prepaid, recommended gratuities are automatically added to your onboard Sail & Sign account as a convenience. However, while on board, you are free to adjust gratuities at your discretion. No adjustments will be made after the cruise,” Carnival said in a letter to travel agents. “Our shipboard team members work hard to provide exceptional and friendly service, so we hope you will agree that this slight increase is well deserved.”
Guests can save up to 15 percent on Wi-Fi packages if they book online before sailing.
The last time Carnival increased the cost of service gratuities was on May 1, 2022 - not even a year ago. They rose from $13.99 to $14.50 per person, per day, for staterooms, and $15.99 to $16.50 per person, per day, in suites.
Carnival is the latest cruise line to increase fees for gratuities, joining Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line. Which means you know the rest are next!
Here's the thing, though - do you really WANT to spend that much on staying connected, when you are trying to "get away from it all?"
AHOY!
