Bill Miller was a guest lecturer on my last Holland America cruise. It was the 150th Anniversary Transatlantic April 2023. He's in the red jacket in the Titanic memorial photo next to the captain.

Hi Nancy - Thanks for the welcome, not new though... just a new user name. The Signature Beverage Package if bought prior to sailing is $44.95 per day. If bought onboard it is $54.95 per day. When I quickly grabbed the price late last night I took the total from my cart and erroneously added tax on it a second time based on the verbiage but did not go through the checkout process to verify. Pre-Paid = $689.52 including gratuity Bought onboard = $842.93 including gratuity That brings my per person savings to either $517.52 if pre-buy or $641.63 if onboard. Still worth it for us.

I just put my deposit down on the 13-DAY 150TH Anniversary Transatlantic April 6-19 and had worked it out as the following: *Note: 3 Star Mariner which may or may not have affected how much OBC we received* Inside $750 pp (Room Only) = $57.69 per day Inside $1559 pp (Have it All) I paid an extra $20 for the room we wanted. =$119.92 per day That is a $809.00 difference PP for HIA. The perceived PP benefits are this: Signature Beverage Package = $689.52 x 18% gratuity = $813.63 Surf Wi-Fi = $15 per day = $195.00 Specialty Dining (2 credits per person) = $46 (Pinnacle Grill) x 2 = $92.00 Excursion Credits ($100 credit per excursion x 2) = $200 OBC $ 150 Total Benefits Received = $1,450.63 per person Total cost to upgrade to Have It All = $809 Total Savings = $641.63
