$44.00 per day is 308. 18% is about $55. Thus totals to $363. Just got off the ship sunday and the drink package is worth it. We used it to get water bottles also, which you will need on any excursion. Just ask for 2 at a time and store them in the room. Martini,s at one bar was $14 extra and Mai tai,s were $1.00 extra. If you enjoy adult beverages, the $363 is a good deal to not to have to worry about each drink you buy. On ship it $454.30. Buy early and don't sweat the tip, they earn it, just like any restaurant that provides good service, tipping is expected.
