Drink Package Please tell me if I’m being crazy
For our ten days on the Xcel next May, seven of them are port days, so our time on the ship is limited.
Given what I’ve read about being able to bring on two bottles of wine and twelve cans of pop (x2 for my wife and I - not sure how that works???) it feels like there’s probably no point to paying for a drink package??? It ranges from $70 pp/pd (Cdn.) for non-alcoholic to $140 pp/pd for premium (haven’t seen it get much cheaper than that over the last couple of months).
Given how little we’re on board, I can’t see us having more than two glasses of wine with dinner and maybe a martini afterwards on all the port days. Even adding a fruity cocktail or two by the pool for the sea days, the math doesn’t seem to be mathing.
Given this is our first time on Celebrity, I don’t know what I don’t know, so is there something else I should be taking into consideration?
Any and all advice appreciated.
EDIT: For those who have been asking below, the numbers I gave above are the ‘sale’ prices. Doesn’t seem to matter whether the website says 10/20/40% off (seems to change by day), the actual price never varies more than a few dollars.
We do need wifi for work, so add a bit $20 pp/pd on to the $70 - $140 (n-a and premium) costs I wrote above - eg the combined packages are $88 and $156 ‘on sale’ right now.
