Creator's Key Takeaways

On our cruise, we opted for the expedition package and paid 129 pounds per person, including gratuities, and for us, it worked out really well.

Across the two days on board Ambassador Ambition, we ended up having 314.95 worth of drinks, which made the package well worth it for us.

But, if you're only planning to have a couple of drinks a day, you're probably better off just skipping the package and just paying as you go.

The price does vary depending on the length of your cruise or whether you buy one in advance or once you're on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book drinks packages in advance to save money compared to onboard prices.
Ensure everyone in your cabin has the same package, as it must be booked for the entire cruise length.
If you plan to have only a couple of drinks per day, skip the package and pay as you go.
