hurls88 Posted June 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2018 My wife Stacey and I (Mike) would like to invite you to join us as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary on Harmony of the Seas July 14-21. We live in Palm Beach Gardens, FL and can’t wait to go on Vacation. I am technically on vacation since I’m a teacher at a local High School and wife works for an Eye Doctor. We will also try to finally answer the question is the Deluxe Drink Package worth it by hosting a live contest as we post pictures of our drinks and countdown the cost as we go. We started the thread two weeks early to allow for guesses. THE CONTEST: We paid $47 pp/day each for a total of $776. If I didn’t buy the Deluxe Package I would of bought the Soda Package so I’m going to subtract $70 so we need to drink $706 worth of alcohol between us. Everyone who would like to be in the contest will make a guess of how much we will save or lose during the trip. To give you a background on our drinking habits. I’m a big man (6’5” 275) but not a huge drinker but when I drink I can get after it. I don’t drink many shots or even mixed drinks. I will drink “Fruity Drinks” during the day and Beer at night. My wife hates beer but loves Margaritas, Frozen drinks and will drink some wine. She is a definite lightweight and she will pace herself. Rules: 1. Guesses should be made rounded up to the dollar (No change). Example: Save $22 or Lose $12 2. Ties will be broken on Guess order. 3. We plan on buying something from St. Maarten to give to winner. 4. Its all for fun 5. Guesses end Friday July 13 at Midnight. 6. I will keep an updated list of guesses as we go. 7. We will mail winner package when we return THE CRUISE As we stated we will be celebrating our 25th Anniversary on July 17th during the cruise. We plan on posting tons of pictures and do a live review as we go. We have booked all our shows and as of now we plan to strictly eat dinner at MDR. We have early seating because we figured it would be easier to book shows. This will be our 5th Cruise with Royal and we will become Emerald C&A after this cruise (Each have 29 pts). We did our Honeymoon Cruise 25 years ago on Majesty of the Seas. Our itinerary: Day 1: Depart Ft Lauderdale Day 2: Sea Day 3: Sea Day 4: St Maarten Day 5: San Juan Day 6: Labadee Day 7: Sea We have nothing planned for St Maarten yet. We booked the Bacardi Rum Distillery Tour for San Juan and booked the Beach Bed for Labadee. BTW I’m a PE Teacher (not English) so please don’t expect great grammar or spelling. Also, we would love to answer any questions during our cruise to help future cruisers. That’s it for now we hope to have a big following and plan to have a great cruise.

hurls88 Posted June 30, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted June 30, 2018 All drinks Will be rounded to nearest $$$ including gratuity. Examples Import beer: 6.99 + 18% gratuity= $8.25 so $8 will come off total Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er345 Posted July 1, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I am hoping you will save at least $20 a day. I will guess $140 saved. At least we will have a definitive answer for the “is it worth it?” question. At least for a couple with similar drinking habits. This will be helpful for me.

Rare Lionesss Posted July 1, 2018 #24 Share Posted July 1, 2018 OMG This is soooooo fun. Um on a cruise on a vacation. Paid for drink package, fresh air, sea, no witnesses I'll say save $215.00 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt Posted July 1, 2018 #25 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hmm let's see. 3 port days so those days I say you'll break even. However San Juan your back on board by 2, plenty of time to drink and labedee is rccls private island. So one day you'll break even. 6 days you will save $30 and your wife sounds like me so I think she'll save $12 the first 2 days and break even after that and the last 2 days she'll lose $48 because her body is not accustomed to drinking 7 days in a row. So you will save 180+24-48=$156 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
