Bar set up is 1 liter. Average drink price is around 7.00. I did the math and we will pay as you go.

Well, I am going on a 7 night cruise to Alaska in three weeks. Let's take a look at the math here and see what you think....

 

My drinks are $10.50 each +15% added Gratuity = $12.08 Each

Wine at Dinner $10.00 a glass + 15% Gratuity = $11.50 Each

Premium Coffee Drinks $6.00 a mug + 15% Gratuity = $6.90 Each

 

So I have three drinks, two wines and 2 coffees each day = $73.04

 

Premium Package cost $378 + 15% for 7 Nights = $434.70 or $62.10 daily.

 

So with this conservative estimation that does not include the amount I will actually drink (alot more than 3 a day!! :D), nor the premium waters and such, the package saves me $10.94 a night...times 7 nights = $76.58 in savings for the cruise.

 

Also, I won't worry about my booze bill getting too big and I don't have to sign tickets every time I want a drink. Savings and convenient.

 

I hope you enjoyed my sales pitch for Celebrity's Booze Package.

 

Have a great cruise either way.

You have to know your own habits & do the math.

There is a sticky at the top of the Celebrity page that discusses this topic to death.

It depends on how much you drink. If you are a light drinker and have a beer a day, then the package is awful for you. However, if you are a heavy drinker, drinking at the pool during the day, the bar before dinner and having wine with your dinner, then it is good for you.

Maybe you could try to change your habits just for the length of the cruise, instead of breaking everyone's head...

this wouldn't be bad for your health, I gess! :p

I bought the classic package for an Alaskan Cruise before the price went up a few weeks ago. The main reason I bought it was was for my own piece of mind. I know I would worry about my culmunative bill before ordering anything. Now if I feel like having an express or two in the morning or a few beers in the afternoon or wine with dinner or a couple of drinks in the evening I can just order them and not worry about how much I'm spending.
