FREE DRINKS – Or are they…?

Do you want a FREE Drinks Package.. ? Is an All Inclusive Cruise the best option for you.. ?

With so many different Cruise Lines offering different promotions through out the year I wanted to take this opportunity to just see if FREE Drinks are always what you do get…

If looking at a specific All Inclusive SHIP – such as TUI Discover or TUI Discovery 2 with Thomson Cruises – Then this is very straight forward, EVERYONE on the ship has drinks included…

Norwegian Cruise Lines – As a company have now changed to ALL INCLUSIVE Drinks Included too…

However some other Cruise Lines or Ships do offers that say FREE DRINKS – take for my example Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines – New Promotion launched on the 5th September with Buy One Get One Half Price & FREE DRINKS & 25% Saving on 3rd/4th Passengers..

There are several “small print” criteria to this deal but just to compare the cruise itself as I have recently done this for someone looking to switch promotion..

Cruise booked before the end of the previous cabin:
2 adults
14 nights
Sailing from Southampton
Balcony Allocated Cabin
Original Cruise Line Cost:
£ 4004.00, WITH FREE Wi-Fi (value: approx £ 160) & FREE PORT PARKING (value: approx £120) …

Pricing on the NEW campaign:
£4473.00, WITH FREE CLASSIC DRINKS PACKAGE..
INCREASE: £ 469.00… FREE DRINKS ?????

In fairness the value of the drinks package on the 14 night cruise is approximately £ 520.00 per person but what you have to consider is would YOU personally get the value from that…

We have many useful tools on our website including:

Drinks Packages

It really does come down to what is the best deal at the time that you are ready to commit to booking your cruise,  and what suits YOU..

or if a drinks package is a MUST then either go with an All Inclusive ship or be prepared to pay for it.
