Creator's Key Takeaways
In my personal opinion, all of these deals are nothing more than complete and utter nonsense.
If you find that the current package price suits your budget, regardless of the specific discount amount being offered, you should definitely consider purchasing it as soon as you possibly can.
Internet packages are very expensive. If you can manage without it, seriously consider doing so.
Alcoholic beverage packages are also not worthwhile in most cases. The break even point for these packages is around seven or eight alcoholic drinks per day.

In this video, I cover a topic that doesn’t get enough attention from cruise passengers: the extra packages and add-ons you can purchase in addition to your cruise — such as internet, drink packages, specialty dining, and shore excursions. Cruise lines constantly advertise discounts and special offers on these packages. However, there is one simple strategy that guarantees you get the lowest possible price and the best value. In this video, I answer the most important questions, including: • When is the best time to purchase cruise packages? • How can you buy them the right way? • Should you wait for sales and special offers? • What should you do after purchasing a package? Buying packages the wrong way can significantly increase the total cost of your cruise — sometimes even doubling it. This guide will help you avoid that mistake and save money.
