Cruise Line Drinks Packages

How do cruise drinks packages work
Cruise drinks packages let you pay a simple daily rate for a wide choice of refreshments, so you can relax and enjoy your holiday without watching the bar bill. Each cruise line has its own approach, but most packages follow a few shared rules.
They usually work on a fixed daily price per person, with different package levels that range from soft drinks only to classic and premium options including top-shelf spirits and Champagne. Drinks are typically covered up to a set menu price, with you only paying the difference if you choose something higher, and many packages include gratuities when you buy before you sail, helping you avoid extra service charges on board.

Which drinks package is right for you?
The best cruise drinks package depends on how you like to holiday. Think about what you usually drink in a day, whether you prefer cocktails, coffee or soft drinks, and how important all-inclusive convenience is to you.
- Casual sipper
A couple of drinks by the pool and a glass with dinner. A soft drinks or classic package may be enough, and sometimes pay-as-you-go can work out cheaper. - Cocktail and wine lover
You enjoy trying different bars, cocktails and wines by the glass. Premium or top-tier packages usually offer the best value with higher per-drink limits and more choice. - Alcohol free cruiser
You prefer not to drink alcohol but still want variety. Look for zero-proof or non alcoholic packages that include speciality coffees, smoothies, juices and mocktails. - Families with kids and teens
Soft drinks, milkshakes and hot chocolate can add up quickly. Kids' or minors' packages give unlimited favourites for a predictable cost. - Suite guest
Many suites include an upgraded drinks package as part of the fare. Check your inclusions first, as you may already have a premium option without needing to buy extra.
