manicmonkey Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 It's the 30% off sale price of $25.99/pp/pd but if I'm doing my math right, it's still 2x what I would pay onboard. I get that it's much more flexible in what you get, but will I be annoyed with trying to make it worth it? We do a fancy coffee and tea each am, then would maybe do a soda a day. If they offer the alcohol card onboard, I would do that rather than the deluxe. Refresh package x2 people ($430) + $90/10 alcohol drink card ($106) = $536 Coffee card x2 ($74) + $90/10 alcohol card ($106) + roughly 10 sodas ($42) + water bottle package ($27) = $249 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Only you can determine if a package is worth it to you based on how many sodas/coffees/juices/water you get per day. I haven't seen the alcohol drink card in a while, but that's just me. I enjoy the convenience of a package. I don't like to have to remember how many whatever I still have left per day or per week. But some people are totally ok with that. ChessE4 and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 If they do offer the card onboard and that is a big if, it won't become available until the cruise is half over. That card is primarily based on lower beverage sales. I think you are factoring in the drink card as an absolute because purchasing any drink package in the cruise planner will always be cheaper than onboard.

Important clarification for sure. Thanks. I just wanted to share the pic since I had just recently taken it. I’m supposed to be in cruise mode, not forum mode, lol.

TessFromFlorida Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 I order room service each morning- coffee and tea for 4, which lasts until evening. I buy 2 or 3 drinks per day on ship @ $15 max. I do not find the drink package a value add at all, but I am not a heavy drinker and am OK with standard coffee. I spend about $180 USD for a 7 day cruise, buying as I go. This is taking into account 4 of those days are typically in port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We buy the soda package since we know there are days were we will drink 2 sodas and then days when we will drink 10. Also the Fresstyle machines have many non-soda options we enjoy. Good luck!
