QUESTION: If we 3 ‘bestie gals’ share a Signature or Vista Suite on a 15/day Caribbean must all 3 of us have the same Beverage Pkg.  or HIA add-ons? 2 of us like our cocktails & 1 doesn’t. If it matters, I am 4-star for laundry etc. TIA

Although a Signature suite is much more expensive than a Vista, once you've done it you'll never look back!

And when you book a Signature very often you will get an upsell offer to a Neptune for a reasonable price.  This happens sometimes even on sold out Neptune cruises.  Ours was sold out for Neptunes three months prior to sailing, but we still received a great upsell offer (and took it) the night prior to sailing.  Cost was only $25 per person per day.

We are now thinking adding a 4th bestie friend and getting 2 adjoining Veranda cabins (ie 2 bathrooms) will work best. 1 with a Cocktail $Pkg., 1 without.

Now that drink packages are "pay the difference," the only reason to upgrade your package is if you consistently drink top shelf spirits or run down to the more expensive wines by the glass.  If you are going to do that more than 5 times per day between two of you, the EBP begins to make sense.  ($10 per-person-per-day ugrade, vs. the $4 per beverage difference).  

Otherwise, the included cocktails/wines/etc are perfectly find to be getting through the day, and then buy up a glass or two at dinner, you'll still be ahead of the game.  Have a look at the beverage menus before departure, and you can probably get a sense of what your upcharges will look like.

Thanks again to all.  @visagrunt I did look and don’t see much of a difference in quality of liquors or wines.  Only diff is the actual drink, say, for instance, a lemon drop martini. Will just pay diff as we go.
