Creator's Key Takeaways
The drink package is one of the most carefully engineered revenue tools in the entire cruise industry.
The package is priced for profitability at average consumption levels, not at the consumption level it would take for you to break even.
The pour varies significantly. Passengers who are warm, friendly, and engaging with bar staff... receive pores that are consistently at the generous end.
