Running out of cash to buy drink while you are on your cruise can be such a buzzkill. For this reason, many cruise lines now offer drink packages where you can pay a flat fee up front for all the drinks you will take while onboard. The package includes all the beer, wine, cocktails, tea, and coffee you can take.

When cruising during spring break, a drinks package can remove your financial worries and allow you to enjoy the cruise fully. It is important to note that Drinks Packages have different price points based on the package available. Read on to learn the factors to consider when choosing your package and the cruise lines that offer the best deals.

What Factors Should I Consider When Choosing A Drinks Package?

Here are factors that you should consider when choosing your drinks package:

  • The price of the drinks package
  • The number of drinks you would drink in a day
  • Is tea or specialty coffee included in the package?
  • The number of soft drinks you can have in a day
  • The number of port days there are since you will drink less on such days
  • How many alcoholic coffees and soft drinks do you drink in a day
  • Calculate the price of all the above and compare it against the drinks package price per day
