Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed breakdown of Holland America Line's Have It All package, an optional add-on for cruise bookings. The package consists of four main components: shore excursion credits, a signature beverage package, specialty dining credits, and Wi-Fi access. The creator explains that excursion credits scale with the length of the cruise, ranging from $100 to $300 per person. The beverage package includes a variety of drinks but is limited to 15 items per day, including non-alcoholic beverages, and covers items up to $11. Specialty dining credits provide one to three nights of dining in upcharge restaurants depending on the cruise duration. The Wi-Fi component provides the entry-level surf package, which can be upgraded for a fee. After calculating the individual costs of these services, the creator concludes that the package offered significant value for their seven-night cruise. They note that the package helps mitigate the impact of standard service charges and suggests that travelers who plan to use internet and excursion credits will likely find the package to be a worthwhile investment.

Creator's Key Takeaways

In my opinion, this has been such great value because even if we relax at a bar and have one glass of wine at night and maybe another glass of wine when we go in for dinner, we would already have over spent.

My recommendation is to really strongly consider adding this package to your cruise because in our experience, we found it to be really great value for this cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider adding the Have It All package if you plan to use Wi-Fi, shore excursions, drinks, and specialty dining.
Check the drinks menus for bars before cruising to see what's included in the signature beverage package.
Remember that all guests on board are only permitted to order one drink at a time, so take both cards if traveling with someone else.
