Creator's Key Takeaways

It's the peace of mind that I've costed. I've budgeted. I'm not going to get slapped with a big bill at the end.

If you're looking at some of the drinks packages now, you see them over $100 a day in some cases.

I would definitely say that if there is an offer on, that's the time to really consider buying them.

You do you and we we we try and help.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“For port-intensive cruises, evaluate if you'll be on the ship enough to justify the package.
