Creator's Key Takeaways

my loves that when traveling as a couple we do not ever get close to spending the 90 to 110 pound per day on drinks

the introduction of the deluxe package certainly goes some way to address this as you'll see when we take a look at some menus

the arrival of drinks packages on piano combined with what I assume is an ongoing challenge in recruiting staff has had a noticeable impact on bar service

pianos pay-as-you-go prices remain quite reasonable on some other Cruise Lines you may be somewhat railroaded into a package

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the menu key to see which drinks are included in each package
βœ“Consider your daily drink consumption before purchasing a package
βœ“Purchase packages before sailing for a 10% discount
