Some cruise lines offer just one drinking package while the others provide various options. We chose the most “attractive” packages as for us. Their prices that you’ll find below are per person per day. We took the minimum price of a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, and a glass of whiskey and estimated how much you’d need to drink to prove the package’s advantage. Here’s what we’ve got...

We should note that the package cost may vary by the ship, duration of your cruise, season, etc. You should clarify this information for your sailing.
We remind you that we took the minimum prices of beer, wine, and whiskey! Besides, we haven’t taken soft drinks, coffee, milkshakes, and other nonalcoholic beverages into account. You can easily estimate the drinking package worthwhileness according to your personal needs and preferences.
We hope this experiment will help you to decide for yourself whether drinking programs of the world’s leading cruise companies are really worth your money!
