ChrisB123 Posted March 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2018 So, $68.99 a day, with a 10 drink limit of the good stuff. Does anyone think buying one is a good idea? I don't remember the cost of drinks but it doesn't seem to be such a good deal to me. I've been told otherwise. I'd love your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDRebel Posted March 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think it is a 15 "good" drink limit, so that would not weigh in my decision. At $69 per day, I would probably purchase it for a 7, possibly 10 day cruise. If it is a longer cruise, it would not be worth it to me (upcoming 15 day cruise is $1034.85 per person -- no way I could break even) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB123 Posted March 22, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted March 22, 2018 We're doing a 15 day too and were told it's better for 15. Go figure. LOL I don't think we will do it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the cost of drinks but it doesn't seem to be such a good deal to me. I've been told otherwise. I'd love your input. Limit is 15 alcoholic drinks/day any drink menu priced $12 or under which is around 95% of everything offered on board. Unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. Break even is around 6 to 7 drinks per day, both port and sea days, for cocktails, higher if you drink straight stuff or beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2018 It all depends on how much you will drink. For us it is a waste of money UNLESS we get it for free. We have it for our upcoming cruises on the Pacific Princess for 48 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted March 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2018 NOT worth it to us. We do not drink much so we spend less by buying drnk by drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suekel Posted March 23, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I base it on the # of sea days. 4 or more yes. That's on a 10 day. We do a lot of specialty coffee and teas during the day. Martini's at night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clw1624 Posted March 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 23, 2018 We're getting the package because they will lose money on my husband. I think he sees it as a challenge to hit 15 drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoriPhil Posted March 23, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 23, 2018 We received the Premium drinks package for our upcoming Alaska cruise as part of a promotional booking. As Elite we usually swap our mini-bar for two coffee cards, but it sounds like the coffees would already be covered under the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m getting $300 for each 7-day cruise next year for a total of $600. That’ll buy you drinks and a whole lot else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefa Posted March 24, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 24, 2018 On my upcoming 20 day cruise, I won't be buying the drinks package, it would be $1380. Although I like a drink I can't see me getting through that amount what with all the port days! I have ordered water and have half a coffee card left. I'll be interested to see exactly what my bar bill is at the end of the cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB123 Posted March 24, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I read the small print and saw that if you are in a 2 person cabin, you would have to buy 2 cards, is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
