Josephnica reacted to melski94 in Falmouth Jamaica
Blue Hole is extremely popular for the adventurous however it is a 90 minute drive each way. Dunn River Falls is offered by RC but much more crowded. Those are for the very active.
There isn’t anything really close to the pier except Margaritaville. I have heard good things about the Hilton Rose Hall for a beach excursion.

Josephnica reacted to King in Falmouth to Dunn's River Falls and River Tubing
Take it from me, tubing isnt dangerous. The river isn't rapid at all. Nowhere close to white water rapids.
Dunns River is only 1hrs or less from Falmouth. It's the easier fall to climb when compared to the more rustic nature filled experience of the Blue Hole. Blue hole is 1.5hrs away.
Why go with a boring cattle-led type tour by the ship when you can come with us.

Yes, virgin versions of the frozen drinks like pina coladas or daiquiris count as mocktails that the refreshment package covers. When you order a couple of those a day the refreshment package very quickly starts to pay for itself.

We felt the same, let them indulge without having to worry about how much they are drinking. There will be 6 of us cruising, and we got the refreshments package for all of us, at $20 per day. Another thing to think about, is that if you get the package, you are pre-paying your gratuities, an 18% charge will be added at checkout. So a 5 day cruise at $20 per day ended up at $118 per person for the package, or $708 total. $708 seems like a big chunk of change to put out at one time just for drinks for a 5 day trip, but I think we would easily buy over $20 per day in drinks, they add up quickly. Or, we'd have to say no, you can't have another soda or mocktail or coffee. Now, we don't have to worry at all. We can all get whatever we want, and not have to worry about tipping either.

Good morning! I have three teenagers- 13, 15 and 16. They love getting the virgin daiquiris and all of the other “mocktails” and smoothies. They don’t drink a lot of soda at home, so I decided to go ahead and let them do the refreshment package. Gatorades (maybe not that brand, but that type of drink) and speciality coffees (not at Starbucks) are also included. To me, it was worth it just to let them “indulge” a little on the ship and knowing how much I would be spending on their drinks ahead of time. Watch the cruise planner because we have seen the price vary about $7 per day from the lowest price I’ve seen $19/day to the most expensive $26/day.

Josephnica reacted to Grenadyr in Experimental Drink Package Calculator
I made a spreadsheet to calculate my break even point for getting the Deluxe Beverage Package on an upcoming cruise. It turned out to be pretty useful and I thought others might find it interesting. So... I made a site on Wix to host an online version of the calculator for anyone that might be interested.
DrinkCalc
DrinkCalc V.2 (Now prettier and hopefully easier to use.)
I'm open to feedback to improve it as needed. Keep in mind the options for style are limited but I can tweak the math as much as I want.

Josephnica reacted to MrMarc in rubbish and misleading pre-cruise promotions
I thought this was interesting, this is exactly as they appeared in my cruise planner at the time. It's more expensive if you buy 1 and get 1 free:

Wow. I just looked again. Visual proof you need to keep checking the cruise planner. Now it is only listed 1 time:

Josephnica reacted to Paige in Galveston parking
In Galveston, we usually drop all luggage and everyone (except the driver) at the terminal. Then one person parks and takes the shuttle back with no luggage to struggle with.
