Choosing the right drinks package can make your cruise holiday more relaxed, enjoyable and great value. Whether you enjoy a refreshing cocktail by the pool, a glass of wine with dinner or a mix of soft drinks and coffees throughout the day, the right package helps keep everything simple. Because every cruise line offers something slightly different, comparing them side by side is the easiest way to see which one suits your holiday style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions About Cruise Drinks Packages<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Is a drinks package worth it on a cruise?<\/strong>
<\/summary>\n

A drinks package is worth it if you usually enjoy several drinks per day, including cocktails, wine, soft drinks or speciality coffees. When purchased in advance, a package can work out cheaper than paying per drink. Guests who only have the occasional drink may find that paying as you go offers better value.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Do both guests in a cabin have to buy a drinks package?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

On most cruise lines, yes. All adults sharing a cabin must purchase the same alcoholic drinks package to prevent sharing. Some cruise lines make exceptions for guests who do not drink alcohol and allow them to buy a soft drinks package instead.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

What is included in a typical cruise drinks package<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Most cruise drink packages include cocktails, wines, beers, spirits up to a menu value, soft drinks, juices, speciality coffees and teas. Premium packages usually add top-shelf spirits, Champagne, premium wines and a wider cocktail selection.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Which cruise line has the best drinks package?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

It depends on what you enjoy.
Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises offer excellent cocktail variety and premium upgrades.
MSC Cruises provides strong value with several package levels.
Norwegian Cruise Line includes drinks with Free at Sea.
Virgin Voyages uses a flexible Bar Tab system suited to adults-only cruising.
The best choice is the one that matches your holiday style.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Are drinks included on all cruise lines?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

No. Some cruise lines include selected drinks as standard, such as Virgin Voyages, Azamara and Celebrity Cruises with All-Included. Others sell drinks packages separately, including Cunard, P&O Cruises, Princess and Royal Caribbean. Most lines include water, tea and standard coffee for free.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can I bring my own alcohol on a cruise?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Policies vary. Most cruise lines allow each adult to bring one bottle of wine or Champagne onboard. Spirits and beer are usually not allowed. Alcohol bought ashore is often held by the ship and returned at the end of the cruise.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

What happens if a drink costs more than my package limit?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

If a drink exceeds your package limit, you only pay the difference between the drink price and the allowance. Some premium packages have no price cap and include almost all drinks onboard.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Are gratuities included in drinks packages?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

On many cruise lines, a service charge is included when you buy the drinks package. This means gratuities are covered when you order drinks onboard. Some cruise lines include gratuities automatically within the package price.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Do drinks packages work on private islands?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Yes. Most cruise lines allow you to use your drinks package on their private islands, including Royal Caribbean\u2019s Perfect Day at CocoCay, MSC\u2019s Ocean Cay and Norwegian Cruise Line\u2019s Great Stirrup Cay. However, it\u2019s always worth checking your itinerary.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can I buy a drinks package for only part of my cruise?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Generally, no. Drinks packages must be purchased for the full duration of the cruise and cannot be bought for selected days only.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Are there non-alcoholic drinks packages?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Yes. Every major cruise line offers a non-alcoholic package with soft drinks, juices, bottled water, speciality coffees, teas, mocktails and smoothies. These packages are ideal for families or guests who prefer not to drink alcohol.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
