Thanks, I was afraid of that. It's good to know ahead of time though.

I am cruising on the Jade in October and wondering if this favorite pastime of mine is something I have to give up on this ship...

92 days - Southern Caribbean on the Jade out of Miami!!

The gratuities on the 'free' drink package for a 9 day, 8 night cruise are $284.80 for two people, which is like 17.8/day. I think their drink package is $89 or $90/day which is WAY MORE than any other cruise line. This was a bit of a surprise when we did the final booking, but we had already made up our mind (thinking it also included bottled water, which it does not, btw).
