Creator's Key Takeaways

I always get the package I always get several packages when I travel simply because I'm on vacation I don't want to worry about how much something specific is going to cost me

if you answered yes to all of these questions what you do is you get it once at least because then you'll know

if a spreadsheet even enters your mind forget about it don't bother don't do it don't get it

the cocktails are mixed correctly so the drink that you might get in your local tavern or pub oh if you know the bartender and certainly at home he's going to be probably a lot stiffer than what you get here on a cruise ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask yourself if you would actually use a drink package before buying
Consider if the price is worth not having to worry about drink costs
If you answer yes to all five questions, get the package at least once to know for sure
Don't overthink with spreadsheets or math; focus on whether you want it
