Bottoms up – it’s my round!

It seems in an attempt to make cruising ever more attractive most of the cruise lines now offer  pre-bookable or even complimentary All Inclusive Drinks packages so guests pay one set price to enjoy a wide variety of beverages ranging from Soda Packages for kids and various Wines, Beers, and Spirits packages for adults.

Most of these also include Cocktails so this is great if you have a penchant for Umbrellas and Sparklers, how about these Signature Cocktails recipes so you can prepare for your cruise – I can feel a hangover already!
