Do you qualify for the Elite Happy Hour? That is the only way I see you would be able to save money by not getting the all-inclusive package. You also get gratuities and some shipboard credit with the all-inclusive, so if you factor that in, the total cost of the drink package is much less than purchasing it alone.

Jim, I followed Norwaylady's review first, and then jumped on yours. Thanks to you both for a great halfway around the world review. The pictures were enthralling and gave me a glimpse into a world I probably won't see in person. Traveling is always an adventure, so thanks for sharing yours. Merry Christmas and I hope the jet lag is not too bad. Trish

Take this as a win. I never understood why they didn't continue these on Royal Class. Our very favorite balcony, and we call our screened porch the Caribe deck frequently!
