twangster Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 It seems with Celebrities announcement of "Always In" her sister brands are trying to define their own All Inclusive territory. In the case of SilverSea her "Expedition" cruises to destinations like the Galapagos or Antarctica included shore excursions but her other non-expedition cruises did not. Now it appears all cruises include a shore excursion at every port. Round trip airfare and transfers has been a promotion on many sailings but it now appears these are included as well. NEW ITINERARIES 2022/2023 NOW, MORE ALL-INCLUSIVE THAN EVER We are pleased to advise that you are among the first to know the details of our 2022/2023 itineraries. This will give you time to browse the new programme and start planning your exciting adventure with Silversea. For the first time in Silversea’s history, travellers will enjoy one complimentary shore excursion in every port included with all voyages in the new itinerary collection—across the line’s entire fleet of 10 ultra-luxury ships. Enhancing the all-inclusive offering further still, all cruise fares will include roundtrip air—or business class upgrades in select destinations—and transfers, providing unprecedented value and convenience for guests. Reservations will open on 10 December, 2020. We look forward to helping you plan your next voyage with us as part of this exciting event. acesandeights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLMoran Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 I was on Princess' site this morning, they now have the same "Drinks, Wi-Fi, and Gratuities always included" option via their new Princess+ option. Although unlike X, they have that as a separate fare type. From the FAQ section at https://www.princess.com/cruise-deals-promotions/princess-plus/ Quote Is a fare only option still available?Yes. Princess Savers is our fare only option available to all guests and all cruises. Our two different fares allows you to choose what is best for you: Best Value with our Princess Plus fare (includes $95 of value per day) or Best Price with our Princess Savers fare. Competition is alive and well, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess was like that a few months ago when I shopped them for an Alaska cruise. Pricing for the uplift was pretty good. I actually prefer this approach like Celebrity used to do. Present perks as an option. JLMoran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that on other high end lines. The higher level cabin you book, the higher on the priority list to get on more popular excursions.
