Alcohol beverage package

[jackiomy]

I'm sorry if this posted already. I'm new and not sure how to navigate this site quite yet. Is it worth it to purchase the package for alcohol ? I'm not a huge drinker but will defiantly have a few. What are your thoughts ? I just don't want a surprise at the end ! TIA

Here is my "RUFF" run down of a day with a drink pkg on another thread

 

For us at least, the package was not just about drinks that would make us not remember the cruise! It was everything else that the pkg includes.

 

A speciality coffee each on the balcony while the wifester is putting on her face, $5 ea.

 

Evian or San Pellegrino with fresh squeezed juice with that second coffee at breakfast, $15 ea.

 

Grab a bottle water on the way to stake out a deck chair, $4 ea.

$24 each before any mind altering liquid is consumed.

 

A beer or the drink of the day by the pool, $6 ea

Then off to lunch, maybe a soda, or another San Pellegrino $5 ea

The sun is hot hot hot! A cold beer or drink of the day is in order, $6 ea

The burger at the Mast Grill is calling our names, it does not go down with out some liquid assistance, $5 ea, then it is time to meet friends to watch the sun set from the Sunset Bar, $6 ea. Afternoon total $28.

And the evening fun has yet to begin.

San Pellegrino and a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, and another speciality coffee with desert, $26 ea

Now it is time for some mind altering sampling to happen, or not A cocktail with friends at one of the watering holes on ship $7 ea, or 2 if we are letting our hair down!

One more bottle water on the way back to the cabin just in case we get thirsty during the night, $4. Evening total, $44.

Morning, $24, day, $28, evening $44, total $96.00 each using the low end of the cost scale and not much mind altering substance.

Some evening's we will grab another coffee ( or worse) and go and sit on deck 5 to unwind, listen to the swoosh of the waves gently breaking down the side of the ship before heading to the cabin.

 

Depends on how you make use of the package.:):eek:

 

We have upgraded to the Premium on our last 2 cruises. Our friends stayed with the Classic and were fine. I like the Craft beer selection, the wine the wifester drank last yr was $14.00 a glass x 3 @ dinner = $42.00 without a pkg every dinner.

Great explanation !!!! I didn't realize all that the package includes. I think that made up my mind :-). Have you ever been on the celebrity summit to Bermuda ? Any other tips are welcome .... Lol. You're great at breaking it down !

I've only been to Bermuda once and the trip was cut short. Any MUST sees or do's ?

Thank you again so much :-)

We have yet to go to Bermuda, but here is one of the best reviews of the Summit in Bermuda. Heather is a wealth of information.

If you don't drink much alcohol (I really don't), another option to consider is the Classic or Premium NA package. Those cover soda, juice, bottled water, premium coffee, etc. You could pay by the drink for the occasional beer or cocktail. My husband's bar bill was <$100 for the week. It wouldn't be a good value for us to purchase an alcohol package.
