Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use a drinks calculator rather than just working it out yourself
✓Look up your cruise line plus drinks package to see what packages they have to offer
✓Check if there are any restrictions on the drinks package such as daily limits or price point caps
✓Consider if you can average the total price over the course of the cruise, not just per day
✓Speak to the cruise line if one person in the cabin drinks and the other does not

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing if the package is worth the cost — Calculate value based on all drink types included, not just alcohol, and use a calculator
Restrictions on what drinks are included — Check the cruise line's website for specific package details and price point limits
One person drinks, the other doesn't — Check if the cruise line will make an exception or arrange something for non-drinkers
