Cruise Drink Packages: A Line-by-Line Guide
WHY IT MATTERS
Understanding cruise drink packages can help you save money and make the most of your cruise experience.
What happened
Cruise ship drink packages let you order as many drinks as you want for one flat fee. The cost varies widely by line, with main packages costing $29 to $95 per person, per day.
Some lines offer alternative ways to save on beverage purchases, and not all lines have a rule that requires all adults in a cabin to order the package.
The best way to decide if a drink package is worth it is to do the math and consider your drinking habits.
