Prices have really sky rocketed in the past few months. I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase the drink package for 55.99 for my upcoming cruise. With gratuity it is 66.07 per day.
If the price were higher I might not get it, but the flexibility and the all-inclusive feeling is a big plus.
With the current cost of drinks it would take 4 to 5 alcoholic drinks per day to break even at the price we got. Adding in four to six bottled waters, Diet Coke, fresh juice, a beer here and there and specialty coffees and the number for us goes down to three or four per day. It could even be two and we could still break even.
One 13.00 drink is 15.34 with gratuity.
This would more than break even and does not include any cocktails.
Fresh orange juice or a mimosa at breakfast.
Get a few bottles of water each after breakfast.
Specialty coffee mid morning or a smoothie in the Solarium
A glass of wine with lunch
Several sodas and more waters in the afternoon. Maybe a beer or two.
A couple of glasses of wine at dinner.
We have taken on soda and water before and frankly it is a chore that I can do without. I’m on vacation and want to relax. Having the package helps me do that.
