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
Exactly! I have one, maybe two, drinks a day. Even top shelf doesn't come close to that price. And I generally take my one allowed bottle of wine. - Meg Sep 7, 12:30
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
Yeah, you have to average like 8 beers/wines or 6 alcohol drinks every day to break even. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 7, 12:17 17
- 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
- I don't drink that much in a month! -- nm - TWuG Sep 7, 12:20
- Amateur numbers. ;) -- nm - samara Sep 7, 12:19 4
  - All Day port stops usually bugger it up when you're off the boat for 3/4 of the day. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 7, 12:22 1
    - "I would like 17 mimosas with the room service breakfast order." -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 13:14
  - 😯👍 -- nm - JD Sep 7, 12:20
  - for 9 days? I can't. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:19
- what do we do after lunch though? -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Sep 7, 12:18 1
  - sleep -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:18
