How this is worked out
We compare what you’d spend buying drinks individually against the flat daily package price, multiplied across your trip. The verdict is whichever total is lower.
Onboard prices and package rules vary by cruise line and even by sailing. Service charges, drink caps, exclusions and per-person requirements can all affect the real answer. This calculator gives you the core maths; always check the current terms for your specific cruise before purchasing.
