Thank you Atlantix2000 and TeRriii. That makes it more logical. I had enquired with Royal Caribbean and asked for my enquiry to be escalated to a senior and nobody has told me this. I am really surprised that Royal Caribbean Customer service are seemingly not aware! All your responses are very much appreciated. Thank you.

We are due to cruise on Grandeur in August. We have booked the cruise from the UK. We see that the beverage package prices, shown in £ when we log in to our booking, are inflated by about 20% compared to the advertised beverage package prices shown in $ on the US site. For example, the current price for the Ultimate beverage package is £70.54 (which based on the current exchange rate of $1.28/£ is $90). The current price for the same package on the US site is currently $74.99. These are apparently 'discounted' 'pre-cruise' prices. Can anyone currently or recently on-board, please tell me if the Ultimate beverage package is discounted once we arrive on-board? Incidentally, the excursion prices seem to be similar in price (allowing for the exchange rate) whether in £ or $. The price differential appears to affect only the dining and beverage packages. Is this an error?
