    Don't ever think a drinks package as a perk is free - you will have paid for it somewhere perhaps at a discounted rate but never free.

    Nothing for free you are right booked a cruise P&O 2021 ,$1 deposit. The next day the promotion changed to free drinks package funny the cruise price went up by $600 per person

    forget the P&O drinks package drinks on P&O are not as badly Priced but Princess Cruises drinks are so much more expensive

    basic sweet Moscato $11 per glass bottled light beer $3 more than P&O prices.

    Hopefully there will be rain on Christmas Eve but dries up and provides sunshine on Christmas day for you, the waterfalls can be magnificent when that happens.

    Hope so too Milford sound is the main highlight im looking  forward to seeing, booked a balcony cabin

    and brought a warm coat

  3. Why would you treat them like a charity case. They are paid professionals. It's insulting. Do you gift wrap thank you presents for everyone you meet? If you give them cash it goes into the tip pool even if you leave the auto gratuity intact although some disagree about this point.

    we were given gifts of blocked chocolate from a cruise event planner with a hand written card on our last cruise earlier this year are we also a charity case

  4. You could look on YouTube for directions on how to fold the bills (once again CASH) into origami or some other clever folds. Then find a small collapsible box, a piece of ribbon, voila gift boxed CASH! Easy to carry doesn't take much room and you can fold before you leave home. We did this with $20 bills folded into origami cranes and left them for our cabin steward on the bed when we went to dinner. When we came back there was a little chicken made from a washcloth with a Thank You note from him. Worked well!

    what a great idea

  5. So sorry to hear about your health hope you feel better soon
