Drink package Q&A

Quick answers before your cruise call.

Q: What is the break-even point for a cruise drink package?

A: The break-even point is the number of paid drinks per day you would need to buy for the package to cost less than buying drinks one at a time.

Q: Do cruise drink package prices include gratuities?

A: Many cruise lines add gratuity or service charges to beverage packages. Always compare the full package cost, not just the advertised daily price.

Q: Should I buy the drink package before I talk to Daniel?

A: Use the calculator first, then ask Daniel to compare the package against your cruise line, ship, sailing length, ports, and onboard habits.
