We are on the Joy 10/29 and I continue to get Upgrade Advantage e-mails. The Club Balcony has been dropped to a $90pp CAD min bid.

Ottawa Canada? I'm also on the Joy leaving the 29 and have bid on an upgrade. This will be my first cruise with NCL, my bfs first cruise and my first cruise in 8 years so I am really hoping one of my bids gets accepted.

Personally, if I was only drinking beer and wine, I'm not sure I'd drink enough to justify a package. But as a cocktail drinker (and those are often $13/piece), I really only have to drink 6 drinks per day per person to justify it. Even then I may still not come out ahead, but I really like not having to think about it after it's paid

I’m not a beer drinker but LOVE their cocktails. We are sailing to Bermuda so wont be on the ship for 2 days when we are docked. I’m Canadian and with our exchange a $13 drink is more like $17 CAD. I can get the drink package for 2 people right now for $1037 CAD. Pretty much 60 drinks within 3 full days on the ship between two people. It’s terrible that the booze is almost what I paid for the cruise. 

I would also love to know the drink prices! I have 6 previous cruises with Royal and 1 with Carnival and have always purchased drink packages, but have always travelled with a friend. This time I am travelling with my bf who is not a big drinker so I’m not sure what to do. I saw on the dinner menu that a glass of wine was $8.
