The onboard budget

Is the drinks package
worth it for you?

One price. Two kinds of day. Your actual preferences.

01 / The packageUse the final checkout amount for everyone required to buy, with service charges already included.
02 / Your itinerary
Include every charged day once. Assign partial arrival or departure days to the closest basket and adjust its average.
03 / What you would buyCount only drinks covered by the package, at their inclusive menu prices. Exclude purchases ashore and drinks already included in your fare.

YOUR DECISION

Put your own
habits in the picture.

A long lunch ashore and a day by the pool rarely have the same drinks bill. Compare both before paying for a package.

How the comparison works

Expected individual purchases = days mainly aboard × onboard-day budget + days mainly ashore × port-day onboard budget. The package saves money only when its final whole-party price is lower. All inputs use the same currency; this tool does not convert currencies or supply current prices.

For example, a hypothetical £700 package compared with three £100 days aboard and four £50 onboard budgets on port days comes to £500 in individual purchases. The package costs £200 more. These are example amounts, not a current cruise offer.

Inputs stay in this page’s memory and are cleared when you leave. Read the whole-cabin drinks guide for restrictions to check, or put the result into your whole-trip comparison.
