James' Cruise Jewels

Anyone for a tipple?

Is the question that most cruise lines seem to be asking their passengers more frequently at the moment.

Two more cruise lines (P&O and Cunard) have just launched their own All Inclusive drinks packages to guests who sail aboard their ships. So is this just another money making scheme or are these cruise lines listening to their guests?

With average prices of an Alcohol package sitting around the £60 per person per day mark, is this really value for money? Consensus among those I have spoken to so far is that they wouldn’t be able to drink that much in a day, especially if they are ashore most days so they definitely won’t be purchasing a package. However if it was offered free, would that be a deal clincher? For most people it would be!

So love it or hate it drinks packages are here to stay and the once unheard of phrase of All Inclusive on a cruise, is now just a distant memory.

Let’s just hope that the concept doesn’t take us down the booze cruise route and just enhance the already exceptional experience on-board the many cruise ships that now offer this.
