* There will be a sale around 4/7 … if you buy now and the price drops then, you can cancel and rebook.
* Yes there are fridges (and kettles) on cruises from Southampton.
* Yes your 18 yr old will be able to drink ( so he will probably smash the package lol).
* You can bring on 2 bottles per cabin, and they never charge corkage. If they say they will just take bottle back to cabin, open it and pour yourself a glass and walk into dining room with it!
* Strictly no sharing of packages allowed and if one in the cabin buys the package, then all in cabin must have package. Perhaps rearrange the sleeping arrangements to put the heavy drinkers in same cabin ( on paper at least)
*You can buy the package a few days into the cruise… I know many people “overdo” it on the first day and then slow down! Especially with a lot of port intensive days. Coming back on at 6pm then “having” to do 6-7 drinks to get your monies worth when you’re exhausted isn’t worth it.
