Creator's Key Takeaways

The cruise line wants you to think the drink package is always worth it. It's not.

Most drink packages cost $60, $80 per person per day. Cocktails are usually 12 to $50 each.

Most people buy the package, drink two to three drinks a day, and lose money without even realizing it.

Buy drinks alart and use the freestyle or Coca-Cola package for 10 day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do the math for your actual drinking habits, not the fantasy version where you're drunk by noon every day.
Buy drinks à la carte and use the freestyle or Coca-Cola package for soda.
Spend $40 a day instead of $75 by buying only two or three cocktails when you want them.
