Beverage package

[Archipelago]

I was perusing the Holland America website about the Premium beverage package which includes everything. Am I correct in reading that the charge per day depends on the length of the cruise ? Was looking at a grand voyage of 54 days.:confused:

No that is not correct. The total charge of the package depends on the length of the cruise, but the per day charge is the same. The charge per day, per person, is $51.69 including the service charge.

For a 54 day cruise that would be $2792.26 per person. If one person wants the package, all adults in your room are required to buy it also.

We have found the Signature Beverage Package (SBP) to be well worth the cost for cruises of 28 days or less. On the really long voyages, such as your 54 day cruise, it might get to be too much.

You know the drill..... you're on vacation, and for the first couple of weeks, you pound down 7 or 8 drinks a day. (for the SBP, anything over 7 drinks a day and you are drinking free). As the long cruise settles in, you have all-day shore excursions and you slow down on the drinks. Near the last week or so, you have gotten back to the same routine you do at home. We did a 28 day Med/Trans-Atlantic with Explore-4 and a 21 day Oosterdam Caribbean cruise with the SBP. After totaling our drink consumption from the final bill, we made out great with the SBP. Each of the 2 cruises had us well over the total cost of the SBP. Naturally, if you get it with Explore-4, the SBP is figured into your cruise price. Sometimes it is a wash, sometimes it is cheaper to buy it outright.

If you have booked your trip, you can find your pricing associated with your booking in the "purchase" section on the HAL website.

 

For instance:

7-Day cruise the SBP costs $361.83 (not including 15%)

13-Day cruise it costs $671.97 (not including 15%)

29-Day cruise it costs $1,499.01 (not including 15%)

 

If you have not booked your cruise, and you want the correct pricing, call 1-800-541-1576.

 

Have a good cruise.

You may do better purchasing a different beverage package for your 54-day cruise. I have used a wine package and a beverage package, saved money as not per day and had no complaints.

We priced what the regular Signature Beverage Package was going to cost us for a 21 day cruise that we had booked for Feb 2017.

 

Then we figured out what the cost of what we would spend per drink.

 

Being as we don't drink a lot it was not worth the price.

 

The Premium Package was not offered for our cruise and that would also be a waste of money.

 

We did a wine package a couple of times and even with 50% off because we are 4/5 Mariners -- not many in the package that we liked.
