    I mentioned earlier that we will be putting up prices for the Boobs Cruise in 2014, but was waiting to hear back from the boat operator on how much this would be.

    For 2014 the new price will be $85. Deposits will be $35 with $50 payable on the day as a balance. The new price will be effective from 1st Jan.

    Reasons for the price increase include:

    - a 5% hike in sales tax across the whole State. Quintana Roo used to enjoy a tax break as a 'Border State'. The newly elected party in power have removed this status and you should expect almost everything in Cancun to go up by at least 5%.

    - Since we rarely do the downtown shopping stop any more we are spending more money on gas, and more alcohol is consumed.

    - An increase in the "Sea Life Preservation and Dock Fee" which all aquatic tours charge.

    - Our Ents staff and DJ had a pay rise earlier in the year which wasn't previously accounted for.

    While I'm always a bit uncomfortable when I have to raise the price I still feel the Boobs Cruise at $85 offers excellent value for money.

    Albatros (the boat operator) currently offer their Platinum Tour for $97 plus dock fee extra. That will rise to around $110 plus dock fee - in total about $35pp higher than our new price.

    The Platinum tour is basically about the standard of boat, they are the same boats we use and we offer even more than the Platinum tour. We have a DJ, upgraded sound system plus Chinos, Omar and Dario. In addition, the best boat crew hand picked for their customer service skills and of course the very best clients to cruise alongside.

    You done well to hold prices so long Steve, the prices have been static for so long and we all know everything has went up in price, but still great value for money... Most fun you can have with clothes on.... Sometimes they do stay on, not often.

    Sounds fair to me! Can't expect prices to never change and it isn't such a huge increase.

    A bargain at any price I say

    Great value

    It is always a difficult decision to raise prices for a business man who thinks through his heart. Steve always strives to provide the best in service on a first class boat. The entertainment staff constantly works for the enjoyment of all their passengers. Incredible value!:aktion033:

    You don't have to defend any price bumps to me. Having the pest boat crew with the best attitude would do it for me. Add in the DJ with great tunes, and you could charge way more in my opinion.
