Are pre-paid drink packages cheaper than buying them on-board?

Most large cruise ships offer pre-paid drink packages which are a great way of budgeting prior to travelling for most passengers.

These packages are very variable from company to company and region to region. Some packages include beers, wine and spirits, but it is the cruise line’s choice and can change at any time.

The pre-paid package also helps to avoid the extra 15% tip that you pay on each and every drink that you order while aboard.
