It is very possible one individuals issue is not the same as other peoples issue.

you are not going to find any cruise line out there that has a better deal.
So for maybe what? 50-100 bucks, one would cancel a trip because of booze, I still see an issue here with this...budgeting or not! I'm guessing if your that tight for money in the first place, carnival cruise maybe a better choice for you. Just saying....

If you cancel because of the BYOB policy, you are not going to find any cruise line out there that has a better deal.
It is what it is.
Well, I got one for yah, why don't you take that difference in money and get a room in concierge..you get free drinks!On Princess I can bring all the wine I need for an entire cruise and pay around $75-$120 in corkage fees. So, yes, there are other options. But not for hard liquor.
$50-$100?
If I take a bottle of wine that I paid $100 for, and pay the corkage that Princess charges, ($15), my total sunk cost for that wine is $115. If DCL were to have that bottle on their wine list, (which is highly doubtful), they would sell it to me for $300-$350. So my savings for that one bottle would be $185-$235 if I were to be able to bring it on board. So assume that I am on a 10 day cruise. DCL let's me bring on 4 bottles, (two for me, two for my wife). I can drink those 4 bottles and then have to buy off of Disney's list 6 times. Each time I buy off of their list, I spend $185-$235 more than I would have spent if I were drinking my own wine. That savings, times 6 nights, is $1,100-$1,410. No. I don't think Carnival is a better fit for me because their wine policy isn't even as lenient as DCL's, and saving "50-100 bucks" is not the objective. Just saying...
ME TOO!!!Some posters make me want to scream!!!!
Oh really? Bwahaha....if you only knew!I don't think you read the post at all if you think the stuff they call wine in the concierge lounge is going to meet the needs of JimmyV. Clearly all booze is the same to you which is why you don't seem to understand the more nuanced reasons why this policy is a big deal to some.

How many threads do we really need about the new alcohol policy????
Actually, the poll response was "profit", not "greed". There is a difference.I was not at all surprised like one responded; that 90% of the responses went for what the pollster was looking to get. Which was greed.
RIGHTTT?!? Lol...guess it all about priorities for some!One can be buzzed at home for a lot less money. It still amazes me how critical a role alcohol plays in some lives.
Personally, I am offended and appalled by some of the comments on this thread. The assumption that you know or understand another's finances is absurd. Even worse is the assumption that you know why and how the policy change effects others and then you judge them on it. Wow.
