Creator's Key Takeaways

These are five reasons the cruise line drink package is a trap for most people.

Drink packages are huge profit centers for cruise lines and they're counting on you not taking into account how much you'll actually drink when you're on board.

The more time you spend off your ship, the less value you're getting out of that drink package.

If you're purchasing a drink package and traveling with another adult, then both of you in that same cabin will be required to purchase that drink package.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider how much you will actually drink before purchasing a drink package.
✓Account for time spent off the ship at ports when evaluating drink package value.
✓If traveling with another adult, both must purchase the package, so assess if it's worth it for both.
✓Look for happy hour and two-for-one specials to save money buying drinks a la carte.
