Carnival to vary prices for some Wi-Fi and beverage packages
Carnival Cruise Line will vary prices for some onboard packages starting Dec.
1.
The change covers beverage and Wi-Fi plans bought on their own or as part of the new FunPacks bundles.
Prices will depend on cruise length, itinerary and season, so the same type of package may cost different amounts on different sailings.
This is dynamic pricing, a system that adjusts prices in response to changing market conditions and demand.
Some passengers may pay more for packages, though Carnival says a price will be locked once the guest buys one.
The new pricing begins on Dec.
1, and Carnival says it is intended to match package costs to the type of cruise and seasonal demand.
