Free at Sea ?

[Grannyshoe]

Could someone tell me how much I would have to pay for drinks on the Free at Sea Package .

I will be on a 10 day cruise and probably have  4-5 cocktails or sparkling wine on about 8 days.

With the FAS, you would only pay the gratuities…which is $21.80 per person, per day. 
 

if you have 2 cocktails a day, you will come out ahead with the FAS drinks, as they tend to be $10-12 plus 20% per cocktail. And the FAS drink package also includes fountain soda and virgin cocktails (around $4 and $8 each).

Also, while in any US ports you will be charged sales tax on each drink (not included with drink package). In the LA port, the sales tax was 10% (so around $1.50 per drink until you are in international waters).

As you aren’t from the US the amount you pay for the package will be different from what is stated above. I don’t know how it works in Australia, so can’t say what it would be.

 

The amounts you pay onboard are the same wherever you are from (taxes in port or anything over $15).
