2016 Alaska Cruise Rainforest Couples Pass - Price Increase??

[Aby]

I'm wondering if any of this years cruisers on the Alaskan itinerary bought the week long couples pass for the Rainforest room and could confirm the price they paid. So far on both the May 23rd and June 6th itineraries Navigator on Day 1 show the couples pass costing a whopping 265$

In the past on both the Wonder and the Fantasy, I've paid around 199$ + the automatic 18% gratuity for the pass including the scrubs, and other 7 night navigators show a similar price for current sailings. I'm wondering if the price on these Alaska navigators are correct, and if so, why the sudden huge jump in cost? When we were on the Wonder in 2011 and 2013 in Alaska, the rainforest room was always quite empty, so it shouldn't be a jump due to overwhelming demand. I'm really hoping it's a typo, or that price includes the gratuity at least!

If anyone bought the pass on this years Alaska sailings I'd love to hear from you and what you paid!

What is the rainforest room?

Bumping this in the hopes that some of the new returning cruisers might now the answer!

The rainforest room is part of the adult only spa - it's basically a nice quiet area, with hot tile loungers, steam rooms, a sauna, and specialty showers for amazing relaxation (on the larger ships, there are also a few hot tubs). You can buy a single day pass or a cruise length pass. We love it and it's a tradition for every cruise, but I'm wondering why the big price hike all of a sudden?

Especially on the classic ships. Don't get me wrong I prefer the classic ships on the whole over the Dream class, but compared to the Rainforest room on the Dream/Fantasy... the Wonder/Magic rainforest room needs a huge upgrade. When I was on the wonder in November this area was looking very tired...

Just bumping up for this weeks' returning cruisers - hoping someone bought the package and can report on the cost.

Thanks!

Looking at Personal Navigators that are posted, the increased $$ includes 6 aromatherapy body scrubs.

I have read that there were 2 different prices......1 was without the scrubs and the second was with the scrubs.

That is sudden, and definitly not incremental, but Disney has raised the prices on a lot of things- too much, unfortunately.
