I am faced with this decision now. Cunard package is $60 a day. I figure if I have a couple glasses of wine at dinner (maybe $30) and then a drink later at the casino I am already up to $45. Throw in some bottled water and maybe a soft drink and I am close. The package includes Wifi so that is tipping the scales to buying it.
This is my first cruise and I can't believe all of the nickel and diming. Bottled water? Really?
Even if we bring some booze onboard, we would have to buy mixers. I wonder if they would let me bring a bottle of wine into the dining room.
