Why Virgin Voyages Has NO Drink Package (And Why It’s Cheaper)

Editorial Summary

The creator explains the absence of an unlimited drink package on Virgin Voyages and argues that this model is more cost effective for passengers. Unlike traditional cruise lines that charge a daily fee ranging from 60 to 100 dollars regardless of consumption, Virgin Voyages utilizes a prepaid bar tab system. This method allows travelers to load a specific amount of money into a tab and use it at their leisure. The creator highlights a specific incentive where Virgin provides a 50 dollar bonus when a passenger loads 300 dollars into their tab. This system ensures that passengers do not lose money if they choose not to consume alcohol on certain days. The video concludes by noting that travelers do not need to consume a high volume of cocktails to break even and directs viewers to a cheat sheet for calculating necessary credit for seven night trips.
