Of course there are still some deals. The $20 senior round-trip between Virgin Gorda and Tortola is a great example, and the free ferries from Gun Creek.
But broadly speaking, a BVI trip is no longer cheap - if it ever was. People going back after a long absence may be surprised at the cost of transportation, food, lodging - most things. The government is always looking for new ways to raise revenue, whether the arrival tax, departure tax, or park fees. Most of the restaurants include a service fee.
Of course there are lots of budget cruise visitors, but other visitors need to be prepared to pay.
Would be interested in others' perspectives.
