People drinnk HOW much on a cruise? holy crap. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:08 35
- We went with a zero-proof package and still probably would have been better off buying a la carte. - znufrii, vice president Sep 7, 13:07
- Do y'all get the unlimited drink package, because wow. That's expensive, and also a LOT of alcohol. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:15 33
  - if you keep it to a drink an hour you can consume a lot during the day. alternate water to hydrate, still 100 drinks in a week can't be good for you - zeitgeist Sep 7, 12:56 1
    - That would have to be well drinks for me to keep that up for a day. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 13:08

  - What cruise line are you going on? Here's some advice: - JaxSean Sep 7, 12:28 4
    - NCL. I didn't see being able to order a bottle, I'll check that out. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 13:08 3
      - On their website you should find a link to the gift shop. That's where you'll be able to buy supplies for the room, water, soda, liquor, etc. -- nm - Meg Sep 7, 13:17 2
        
        nice, thanks guys! -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 13:34
        
        Yup - And I think (can't seem to find it myself) you have to be looking *on your specific cruise* gifts. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 7, 13:33
  - i am absolutely not even considering the package. i would never come close to drinking that. -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 12:20
  - have you met Americans? -- nm - decline Sep 7, 12:17 5
    - Americans drink less than Europeans, from my experience. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:19 4
      - eastern europeans for sure -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 12:22 3
        
        Visit the UK or Belgium. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:23 2
        
        saw a map of consumption and some of those former commie states drink vodka like we drink coffee -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 12:26 1
        
        Oh, for sure. Also northern Europe. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 13:09

    - Okay….so what about after lunch? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 13:15 2
      - Beaker can be annoying but you should still unblock him. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 13:17 1
        
        I legit didn’t scroll all the way down, but … no comment. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 13:29
    - or just drink like 60 on the first day and then you don't need to worry about it -- nm - decline Sep 7, 12:20 5
      - On the Rock Boat, I'll mostly do 9-10 over the course of the day in the beginning. - JaxSean Sep 7, 12:31 4
        
        For me it's $1k for 9 days. No chance i can drink that much. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 13:09 3
        
        rookie - Spawn Sep 7, 13:11 2
        
        It's around $10/drink average. So that's 100 drinks in 9 days *just to break even*. - JaxSean Sep 7, 13:42
        
        I don't drink the foo foo cocktails. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 13:36
