One thing I must admit. I tend to drink more while cruising. Maybe it’s because on a ship, my movements are limited or because there are bars everywhere or because I don’t have to drive anywhere or just because cruises are vacations and a place to let go. Whatever the reason, you can drop some serious cash on alcohol, if you’re not careful.
We were lucky enough to get the Ultimate Beverage Package for free as part of a booking promotion. YAY! I think that also played a role in my drinking outlook…
There is a new More at Sea promotion with a new Unlimited Open Bar package instead of the Ultimate Beverage Package. The information below is no longer valid.
