It really does depend on how much you will drink and if you will drink that much here is a pic of the info on it. https://www.facebook.com/240526055979098/photos/a.542574909107543.123952.240526055979098/789000967798268/?type=3&theater<br /><br />Make sure to check out my Facebook page for more information too. https://www.facebook.com/Cruising-Princess-Cruiseline-with-Vickie-240526055979098/timeline/Cruising Around the World With Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04024888091307450324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2384647898970351503.post-44060685377665067642015-09-15T23:56:42.927-07:002015-09-15T23:56:42.927-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818569425311174051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2384647898970351503.post-9060859492430300502015-09-15T23:54:19.341-07:002015-09-15T23:54:19.341-07:00Hi Vicki, We have just booked our first cruise on ...Hi Vicki, We have just booked our first cruise on the Golden Princess to the South Pacific and are very excited! <br /><br />We are trying to work out if the All inclusive alcohol package is worth getting. Can you please explain how it works? Our travel agent is new and has never been on a cruise, so is unsure of the details.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />NIcoleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818569425311174051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2384647898970351503.post-47726223456387295092014-06-29T07:15:52.695-07:002014-06-29T07:15:52.695-07:00Thanks for the reply, Vickie!

I'm sailing on the Island Princess going out of Vancouver - SO EXCITED! & so happy to have found your amusing & informative blog! My blog is all about EdTech stuff!

I think the All Inclusive could be a good deal. I have been known to have two espresso drinks in the morning. Mocktail or two at lunch, soda during the afternoon and two Brambles pre dinner and then wine with dinner. That would definately be more than the per day cost for the All inclusive but we don't do that every day. Also we often trade in our mini bar for two coffee cards so we have quite a few. Enjoy your cruise Gwyneth.

So.....I'm getting the All-Inclusive Alcohol Package instead on my Alaskan cruise next week. [gulp!]<br />I don't drink much but when on VaCa one does like to splurge and that includes fancy coffee, soda, bottles of water, & a couple glasses of vino! <br /><br />So how can one justify spending $56 day on a cruise ship for booze? Easy I think because it also includes all tips plus all sodas, juices, bottles of water & specialty coffees!<br /><br />Adding it up? Warning this is my non-math genius way of <br />figuring this out so please bear with me! <br /><br />Subtract $8 a day because it includes the Soda Plus package <br />Subtract $7 a day because it includes the Café Selects Coffee Card & Gelato<br />So it really costs $41 a day for the alcohol portion <br /><br />Possible Typical Non Port Day: <br /><br />$6 morning Latte (double shot)<br />2 bottles of water a day $5 (Saw mini bar prices for bottles of water on CC for $2.50?)<br />A pint of Guinness with the pub lunch $7<br />1 Diet Coke in the afternoon $4<br />Before dinner Mojito $9<br />Glass of wine with dinner $8<br />Specialty coffee after dinner $4<br />2 Glasses of wine with show $16<br />Hot chocolate on deck which they pass around but are not free = $4<br />PLUS - if you order a bottle of wine under $100 you get that 40% OFF that's includes So a $29 dollar bottle of wine is $17.40 - Which I guess you could buy at Vines & take back to your cabin to enjoy on the balcony right?<br /><br />What do you think Vickie? <br />Cheers!<br />~Gwyneth <br /><br />@GwynethJones - The Daring Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455804690126231910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2384647898970351503.post-35300528745058422592014-04-28T11:55:04.044-07:002014-04-28T11:55:04.044-07:00Great info Vickie, very thorough!Great info Vickie, very thorough!Roy Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891214769335784465noreply@blogger.com
