Awesome RNG. Real situation advice. Much appreciated.

Thanks Kate... I am new to these boards so haven't figured out response rate as yet.

Calling P&O was next on my list... I appreciate the feedback especcially on timing...

And also thanks RGN... It wasn't a thought of "taking advantage".. more so what is the best spend of the money. Thanks for replying. Hope service improves... May have to make best friends with the bar staff :-)

Thanks Andlep

It's all conjecture at the moment.

What wines can I buy?

Is that scarf too sparkly for bianco?

Will I scare the natives?

But all fun to contemplate.

But thank you for advice. Hoping anybody else has some pearls of wisdom to round out my total lack of knowledge.

Anyone? Anyone?

Bump it till I get some response?

Is that legal here? Am I going to get in BiG tRuB?

Hiya

I've been lurking for a week or so since my FIRST CRUISE was booked (can you tell I'm excited?) and have read many, many different threads on the drink package debate.

But I would like some clarification please.

We are traveling on the Pacific Jewel in November on a 9 day cruise.

We bought a pretty good deal but are pretty set on having a budget. Between the 2 of us we quite like our beverages, especially wine.

If I buy a drinks package, I understand that's just for me. I'm cool with that. But buying bottles of wine? I have read alternate options about paying a percentage? What is the percentage that I have to pay if I buy a drink package? Or miraculously are bottles included in the Jewel package?

But can I buy a bottle rather than glass after glass whilst I am sitting and reading? Chilling in the Oasis with an ice bucket sounds like bliss to me.

And if I choose to, take it back to my room?

What IS the policy? Because the cruise control is pretty much **lean** on details.

I will be drinking throughout the trip and doing a few of the parties so I know it can add up. I can quite easily stick to a budget if I need to but feel I can just not worry about the end result if I buy the package.

Advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Scott
