Review summary

I CANNOT FEEL I CAN RATE THE BEVERAGE PACKAGE AS IT WAS NOT WORTH ITS VALUE, ON THE 2 DAYS WE'RE OFF THE SHIP. YOU STILL PAY FOR THE FULL DAYS LIQUOR PACKAGE.THEY GOT YOU COMING AND GOING. THE FOOD IN THE BUFFET WAS NO DAILY VARIETY, BORING OUT SIDE OF THE 2 ND DAY !

we have purchased the drinks package purely so we can relax and not worry about having enough money left at the end of the cruise. We do like a glass of wine or two with our evening meal and usually drink soft drinks during the day, I am pretty sure that if we was to pay as we go, it would amount to the £37 a day it costs for the package anyway, but without the worry.

Check out Rumrunnerflasks.com ! perfect way to smuggle alcohol on a ship. will save you tons of cash. with a drink package, you have to drink so much... Just to break even :-(.

if you're a light drinker, I'd say pay as you go. All depends on how much you drink really. It does add up though. so I think the package might be a safer alternative... you get x amount of drinks a day (usually 15 or so).

in regards to the drinking package, you would have to drink roughly 6 or 7 drinks a day to get your money worth
