We're headign out on an 11 day cruise on Equinox next week. I looked at thigns and the drinks packages make sense if:
1) you tend to drink a lot (including specialty coffees, water,s etc, not just alcohol)
2) You are on a less port intensive itinerary (like a TA crossing).
Over on Cruise critic on the Celebrity board, someone put together a spreadsheet to calculate if it makes sense. I liek to drink (beer, wine, martinis) but due to being in port 8 of 11 days it didn't make sense for us for the entire cruise. I may change my mind part way through, but not for the whole cruise.
That being said, we will stop ahead of time on the way to Civitavecchbia and pick up cases of water and hopefully sodas before we board and can bring 2 bottles of wine per cabin on ship, so we should be fairly covered except for the martinis
