JPV072900 Posted July 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Jeff is interested in the Refreshment Package. Jeff is not a drinker, so this package is perfect for Jeff. Jeff likes the coffee, the non-alcoholic cocktails, the soda, the bottled water, and of course, the freshly squeezed juices! Jeff just found out that the refreshment package which is regularly $26/day is on sale at over 30% off....This translates to $18/day (which is really $21.24/day after the 18% gratuity). When Jeff goes on his 9-day cruise, this will mean that the refreshment package will cost a total of $191.16 per person. How many drinks does Jeff need to order each day to break even with this drink package?? Jeff thanks you for your help as Jeff has a "very important" decision to make!! (Sometimes, math CAN be fun!!)

Rare LMaxwell Posted July 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Jeff will have diabetes if he wants to break even But around 5 per day puts you in the black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted July 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Depends on what a Jeff drinks. If it’s only water then 10 a day. If it’s soda then 5-6 a day. Fresh squeezed OJ 4 a day. Frozen virgin drinks 3-4 a day, specialty coffees 4-5 a day. Very easy to get your money’s worth on this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnutzinfl01 Posted July 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Jeff also must consider that the refreshment pkg includes bottled water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPV072900 Posted July 14, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted July 14, 2018 How much is Jeff willing to pay in order to not have to think about how much it costs? Excellent question! If you see a guy walking off the ship holding 10 bottles of water, you'll know it's me after calculating if I got my money's worth!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now a boring accountant who is weighing the cost / benefit of the refreshment package!! Jeff obviously has way too much time on his hands.... Jeff needs a life...

erby2283 Posted July 15, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Which cruise is Jeff going on? Number of sea/port days need to be factored in. Yes this! If Jeff has a port intensive cruise and won’t be on the ship for 5-6 days, this may sway your decision. I bought it for my 9-day Anthem cruise in ‘16. I don’t drink coffee at all, just soda and virgin drinks. I probably would just buy by the drink next time bc I didn’t have as many drinks as I thought I would. Then again, if I had gotten it on sale...... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPV072900 Posted July 15, 2018 Author #24 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I think I'll just buy the refreshment package for myself! If anyone else in my party wants a drink, then I'll just get it for them unless I need one for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEORGIEGIRL Posted July 15, 2018 #25 Share Posted July 15, 2018 If Jeff is that up tight (concerned) about the cost analysis of the "refreshsment package" I think Jeff needs to get the "UBP" package just to loosen up unwind. Whew, math before a cruise. Now I need a drink......:-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
