Mjoellnir Posted August 22, 2015 #101 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Is this what you would drink, even if you were paying by the drink, or what you drink to get your moneys worth out of the drink package? Well yes. I would drink that even without the package. However I might drink even more than that if we decide to really party one of the days!

casinostreer Posted August 22, 2015 #102 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thank you for your response. I was just curious. I have no intention of buying a drink package. We (my daughter and I) may have 1 or 2 drinks per day, so I don't think the drink package will suit us. We are also not soda drinkers either. Give me iced tea and I'm happy![emoji3] Of course you'll be happy - you're on a CRUISE! :D Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borcherk Posted August 22, 2015 #104 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So, if your on a southern route with stops every day but 1 do those of you that usually purchase drink packages still do so? We enjoy having a few drinks every day. Since we won't be on the ship during most days; I'm wondering if we won't use it as much as when we had multiple sea days. Thus, making it less of a value. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 22, 2015 #105 Share Posted August 22, 2015 No.DH enjoys an occasional glass of [good] wine with dinner, and I don't drink.:) Well a package may not be for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 22, 2015 #106 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I buy the PP all the time so if i drink 2 mixed drinks, 2 beer, 2 sodas, and 1 wine that comes to $54 before grats and i paid $49 for the package.After grats its $63.72 and i paid $57.82.Thats not even including all the bottled water that i drink.So i wouldnt think if someone had 2 pina coladas 2 bud lights and a cab with dinner was anything close to being a lush.Im not bragging but i could consume 3-4 times that amount when we dont take our youngest daughter or grand daughter.Then you might call me lushy. Well I'll go one better, I don't drink alcohol at all but have had a package (included by TA) and got great value. A dizen or or so sodas a few coffees and some bottles of water, it was tight but I was at break even. ( if I'm paying it's just a soda package but if a non drinker can break even in a package a drinker probably can). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 22, 2015 #107 Share Posted August 22, 2015 We are going on our first cruise and we are buying the package that includes everything!!! Mimosa for lunch? Go ahead! Bloody Mary for breakfast? Why not!! :p Fresh squeezed OJ, water, fancy coffee, wine at dinner, cocktails after...we're all in. Order a cocktail and don't like the flavor (it happens :D), no guilt, just get a new one. We're having fun, we budgeted for it, we will enjoy ourselves. CAN'T WAIT!!! That to me is the beauty of a package I feel like a drink, do I leave it for an hour or so and hope to save the price of one drink, or just go for it. Or hey that drink looks interesting, if your paying maybe not what if you don't like it, with a package, oh well give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 22, 2015 #108 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I often wonder where everyone lives that they think these drink prices are so high. Here when we go out to dinner, cocktails are usually $12 and up, the cheapest white wine by the glass is about $9 and specialty drinks can be $14 to $16! I mean even the watered down Mojito I got at CheeseCake Factory (of all places) was $12!! :eek: I just don't see Royal's drink prices being that expensive. Yep I'm in Australia and other than the exchange rate factor and the 18% grats the prices are pretty much what you'd pay here, now the $ is down they do get a bit steep (the $12 cocktail becomes about $20) But that's a separate issue.

Thoughts? Probably not - but for the past 3 cruises - I've barely left the ship. I've seen the beaches, I've seen the ruins, I've done the shopping. If I were on non-Caribbean cruise - I might go into more ports. So - on a 7 night eastern Caribbean cruise - I'm probably on board every day.

Goodtime Cruizin Posted August 22, 2015 #111 Share Posted August 22, 2015 There will be 100% in my cabin. This. Both of us will have and always have purchased the Premium Bev Pkg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtime Cruizin Posted August 22, 2015 #112 Share Posted August 22, 2015 55% buy some type of package. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=5979 So myself & 55% of the cruisers are lushes. Nice. What I find lame in this thread are that some actually are not just reading the thread, but they're posting in the thread.. on a topic that they state has no value to them. That's pretty messed up because it appears that alcohol pkgs has owns more value of their time than their wallet. Really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blows me away that People that don't drink are so intrigued by the drinking threads. I don't know if they feel like we're bad people for drinking and that they are such a higher being than us. I really don't get it. So if you don't drink or ever buy the drink package I don't want to hear your comments on something you really know nothing about.
