pr8hd Posted February 2 #1 Share Posted February 2 (edited) This showed up in my email a short time ago. MAS Islander beverage package (All inclusive) has been published: $59 per day pp, for any/everything. Presumably gratuities are included.. NOTE: This is branded as the "Ultimate Package" - Other plans may or may not be forthcoming. . I like the wristbands used on MAS Paradise. That said, with two sea days on every sailing, this is not the worst deal afloat. Nothing was mentioned about requiring everyone in a cabin to have the package, 15 minute time restrictions and the like.

ericrz Posted February 2 #2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) From the FAQ page (Ultimate Beverage Package | Margaritaville at Sea) -- There is a 15 maximum per day for drinks, like Carnival Covers beer/wine/cocktails up to $20, mocktails, soda, specialty coffees, 500ml bottled waters Like all other cruise lines, everyone 21+ in a cabin has to purchase the package, except in the case of a documented medical condition I just called and added it to my 5-night Islander cruise in September. With gratuity added, it is $336.25 per person for a 5-night voyage. I am not quite sure how the math works, because that seems to be only adding 12% to $59.99 x 5. But the website FAQ says an 18% gratuity. Hmm. Boat drinks, here I come! Edited February 2 by ericrz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore my guesses on the previous post. 🙃 . I like my boat drinks. Mrs Pr8hd might have 2 per day. Not worth it for us, especially when gratuities are NOT included. . Is the Blender cup included? 🤣 I'm going to guess that they are using Carnival's existing onboard software. .

ericrz Posted February 2 #4 Share Posted February 2 Blender cup not included, according to the website. I have a Margaritaville "5 o'clock somewhere" clock beverage holder that I got at the Grand Turk M'ville a couple years ago. If I bring it, will they fill it? 😄 I've had a drinks package on my last two cruises (one Carnival, one Royal). I think I came out ahead financially, but even if it's close -- it's so nice to have the booze paid for in advance, and not get a big bill on the final morning. My mom and I are taking the Islander in September, even with the two port days, we'll do our best to get our money's worth!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
