Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm really glad we didn't because I enjoyed the included drinks more than the premium drinks

The wines that you get in the buffet on the pools are of inferior quality to the ones that you get in the main dining room

It wasn't necessary to have the premium drinks package which would have cost an extra £180

I think the red wine isn't the best red wine remember these are all included in the price of our cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid the premium drinks package if you prefer included cocktails, as they are just as good.

✓Eat in the main dining room for better quality wine compared to the buffet/poolside options.

✓Use the water fountains on every deck to refill bottles instead of paying for the premium water package.

✓The Live Lounge is often quieter than the Atrium if you want a less busy bar experience.

Drinks being undrinkable — Most included drinks are drinkable; the pros/cons depend on specific cocktails and wine types.

Long waits at bars — They didn't experience long waits; service was usually within 5 minutes.

Lack of non-alcoholic beer — Non-alcoholic beer (like Heineken 0.0) is available on board.
