Morning, Thanks for all the replies. Nothing comes up on my cruise planner yet, I think because it's so far away still. Only 10 ports being visited. I am just wanting to try and budget it all in. We are not huge drinkers, but the coffee, water and Diet Coke will probably add up if we have a cocktail/beer or two mid afternoon and a couple of wines with dinner. I think I will just budget $100 a day, which is about $75US for the two of us. Thank you. Happy Sunday! Laura.

Hi Guys, Laura from Alice Springs, Australia. Hubby and I have our first RCl cruise booked for October 5th on the Explorer. It's a 21 night cruise and our first cruise without the children. They are finally old enough to look after themselves whilst mum and dad have a holiday! Yay! Also our first time to the US. So many firsts!!!!! We have been on P&O once as well in 2010 and the kids found it hard to keep occupied for 12 days. We also had some not so good things occur, meaning we have left cruising again till now, having learnt some lessons. Super duper excited, I am sure you will be sick of my questions in no time! Laura :)

Hey Cruisers, *warning....newbie approaching* Hubby and I are off on a 21 night Transpacific in October 2018. When booking our cruise with TA and discussing the drinks packages, she said it was not likely packages (drinks or meals) would be offered on such a long cruise. Can anybody confirm or deny this statement for me? I have checked through the boards and couldn't find anything relevant, so thought I would ask myself. Thanks! Laura.
