Jump overboard near the screws and be sure one of the crew sees you do it. They'll never find your body but will have to search for it for a long time, which will cost them lots of money, both in fuel and in refunds to the passengers who miss a port of call due to the time spent looking for you.

$109.00 is almost perfect pricing to make sure anyone who tries to get their value out of that will end up fucking themselves up horribly. One day sure, two days maybe, but if you assume a 7 day cruise, there is no way you are getting the full value out of that.

it takes miles to turn around, so they don't bother. They send help if and only if they notice.

OP, none of these drinks, seriously. None of these choices top $20/bottle Flor de Cana 12yr is delicious for every rum application possible. I'd suggest some fresh fruit daquiris. The real value in the drinks package is hitting that Starbucks beverage daily x3 visits, everything from iced grandes to hot chocolate to post dinner espresso, and getting seltzer water at will. Just consume what you enjoy, or spend your time introducing yourself to a new cocktail daily and try as many new drinks as possible.
If that means nothing to you becuase you don't care what kind of water you drink, and don't drink capuccinos in the AM, then spend your money instead on a bottle of wine for dinner, have 2 glasses, and send the rest up to your table in the bar later during the comedy show. They tag the bottle you buy.

Not him but it usefully implies the faggotry of the people who would cut you off for getting drunk after you purchased a 100 dollar all day drink pass. The bartender in this case could be considered analogous to a 4chan jannie who bans people all the time for making off topic posts (no fun allowed). Lowly peasants who manage to let the tiniest amount of power possible go to their head.

The price is 109 PER DAY, and looking on the webstite, it covers anything up tp $15. It mentions that you can get up two two drinks per transaction, up to $15, it's not clearly said whether you get up to 15 between all transactions or per transaction, and a discount on anything they havent chosen, no doubt the cheapest shit possible. Overall it sounds jewwy as fuck, and I wouldnt be surprised if it's all a trick, as it mentions over and over how there are no refunds after you decide to get the package.

Depends on the cruise line. Also depends on your room. A suite guest for example will often have access to free drinks up to a certain $ per drink (usually ~$15).

It's the same for dining, everyone has access to free buffet style dining, but then you have specialty restaurants that either require reservations and charge for meals separately, or restaurants that require you to be staying in a certain room type (like Cunard's princess/queens grill) but even those places will often have a surcharge on pricier items (caviar, steaks, lobster, etc). Though usually it would be like $20 surcharge for a $60+ meal. So you're not paying full price.

Bathroom walls (not cabin), towels, and shortwave can expend the floating jew $$$ without detainment.

Crew is mostly flips which I don't mind and would feel bad for, but also probably a few poo's so fuck 'em and the entire ship.

Pro tip: bring one of those all aluminum adjustable walking canes with you. Even if you look young and healthy they can't take it from you without dire legal consequences. It makes for a great multi-tool when you remove the rubber piece on the end. You can use it to scrape walls and flooring. Use it to push rolls of tp and handcloths into public toilets to cause partial deck flooding. Use it a self defense weapon. Bonus, ships crew will think twice about messing with somebody using a cane.

Also waste as much food as possible at the buffet.

You're never (or more realistically, you'd need to be a MASSIVE functioning alcoholic) going to be able to drink enough to have it be cheaper than if you just stayed home and drank alone.

But if you're fine paying a premium for being on a boat and around people and not having to pour your own, the drinks packages aren't a terrible deal. But you need to drink a fair bit to make it "worth it" over just buying drinks individually.

If you're only drinking 3-4 alcoholic drinks a day, just pay for them individually. But if you're capable of (and willing) to drink 10+ drinks a day, then the drinks package makes sense.

They don't give a shit. Most people book cruises well in advance before they go on it. That money all goes into investment reserves to begin profiting to cover overhead for your trip before your ship even leaves port. Tickets cost more closer to the trip date to account for the missed investment opportunity moreso than they indicate scarcity of remaining tickets

If you were trying to "break even", best would be to go for the most expensive alcohol by ounce, which would be the longest aged whiskey most likely (that shit is usually overpriced at the liquor store for quality). Even then, none of the shit on that list is busting $30-40 a bottle. You're ass is NOT making it through a 3 bottles a day without dying of alcohol poisoning.

Best you could do is order shit en mass and pass it off to friends and family out of sight of the crew. But even THEN you and your extended family ain't burning through 3 bottles of alcohol. Cruise ships will always profit. Especially since they are diluting that shit with sodas, waters, and juices.

Hell, even at a $10 mixed drink rate, 10 drinks a day would waste your ass.

if you're alone: don't get it at all because it's a bad deal.

if you're with a woman: share drinks with her. 10-12 drinks per day across two people is just 2 drinks per hour. if she can drink just as much that's approx 20 drinks per day, or $5.5 per drink. doable if you gamble and love to drink. not doable if you're a normoid, in which case don't get it at all.

i'm guessing that at regular prices, 1 cocktail is around $25-40. so factoring that in, it seems like a good deal.

[Anonymous No.20081986]

OP it depends on what type of cruise this is, and if you're young enough to handle the booze. if you're in your 20s, and you're there to score with as many sluts as possible, and if they allow you to order drinks for yourself and one other without some strict rules about sharing, then you can easily have a great time. 109 isn't even that much money within the context of a vacation. if there's going to be lots of dancing and casino action, then it's not bad. you can cost-max by ordering the VSOP brandy, cognac, civas regal, glen turner.

if you want to avoid a bad hangover then best to stick with the gin and vodka options.

if you want to drink a lot for as small a cost as possible, just go to vegas.

>would be willing to bet not one degenerate alcoholic customer has ever individually cost them money
No one customer could ever possibly cost them money because the other 99% of customers are going to be drinking nowhere near the same amount. This is also how buffets work, and why people who go in with the attitude that they're going to "get their money's worth" instead of just enjoy themselves are always kind of stupid.

That said, I drink over a handle every day and don't think I could actually drink enough to *individually* cost them money. I'm sure they buy wholesale, but the alcohol really isn't THAT much cheaper. Unless there's a very high end rum or tequila on that list I'm unfamiliar with, it seems pretty unfeasible to be able to consume that much in one day. Also remember that they're not just going to give you an entire bottle; you still have to buy individual drinks. If you order something straight they probably wont even serve you more than a double.

I guess if there's anything on that list that costs over $50 for a fifth it wouldn't be doable, but nothing I'm familiar with even comes close.

I highly doubt it. Nothing on that list is even that fancy, and they're moving so much it would probably take more labor to pinch pennies like that. The way bars price liquor is generally by having the first 3 drinks pay for the bottle, which for a fifth is less than a quarter of the contents. Apparently their cocktails are between $9 and $13 when bought individually, which adds up with that pricing scheme. You need to drink 8 or 9 drinks throughout the day to make the package worth it, and I really don't think most people are going to hit that mark. The whole thing is worked out like a casino - because it literally is a casino - where the house always wins. You can try to do the math and find some kind of hack, but you're never going to get one over on them. In that situation it's better to just accept that you're on vacation, include the drink package in the total price, and don't even think about the cost when you're there. Just think about it like unlimited drinks are included in the cruise. Better yet, don't go on a cruise at all. I mean, what kind of people do you think go on cruises? They're not interesting or attractive, and you're always going to be surrounded by hundreds of them.

On Carnival, in like 2014, I emptied 2 big bottles of wine, filled them with rum, recorked them, and snuck them on board. They let you bring on 2 bottles of wine. I just had to use my room as a hub for free drinks. I could probably go again really cheap since I put $100 through some slots, but Carnival ships are basically floating dumpsters/port-o-potties. I digress, my suggestion to anyone is to gamble just a little so they give you casino rates for future cruises, which at least for Carnival looks to include free drinks.

I forgot if they were 750ml or 1.5L bottles, but I remember the 1.5 or 3L getting me to the second to last night of the 5 night cruise, and on the last night they bring you whatever duty free bottles you bought, if you bought any, but if you open it you can't take it off (iirc), so I remember downing a fifth of Royal Crown I got for like $25 in the duty free shop on the last night. I am thinking it had to be 1.5L.
>And why would you do it again?
Cheap, all-in-one vacation. Food is paid for and at least one night of sit down dining has pretty fancy food, like lobster, which has allegedly changed since I cruised last - but applicable for my reasons at the time. You briefly visit some Caribbean shitholes full of more scammers dockside per capita than probably New Orleans, but the black ladies know how to fry a conch, and that conch fritters are pretty delicious desu - and get drunk poolside.

Sometimes I forget how spoiled I was. I grew up in a less touristy part of Hawaii, but also had a grandma in Las Vegas who we'd go visit a couple times a year. She had dementia for the last 5 or 6 years, so we'd only visit for a couple hours at a time (there literally wouldn't have been a point to staying longer, and she would just get more and more confused), so we ended up spending most of our time at the hotel or seeing the sights and going to shows, and this was the mid-90's when Vegas was just becoming really, really kid friendly, so basically everything you listed was normal.

Cunard specifically is an old white people's cruise. They do various ocean liner routes (transatlantic and transpacific) and their average guest age is over 60 years old.

As the other poster mentioned, dinner is a formal occasion every night, if you don't want to get dressed up you can have dinner served in your cabin, but if you want to eat in the dining room, you need proper attire.

While you might see a handful of blacks, Asians, etc theyll generally be older. And while Cunard cruises certainly skew older, there are still younger people around as well.

Also that doesn't include the automatic 18% gratuity, so if you order 10 $14 cocktails in a day, you're still paying ~$80-85/day ($55-60+$25 gratuity)

Hey if you can function on a drink every 30-60 minutes, more power to you. Get a normie Royal Caribbean or similar cruise on a good deal (black Friday) and you can get a drinks package for less than $70/day. If you really can sustain a 1 drink per hour pace that's 14-16 drinks per day at $8-15 each. Assuming $8*14 that's $112, $20 gratuity, $132 total without the drinks package, youd pay $90 with a drinks package. The savings gets better with expensive drinks, $15*14 = $210 + $38 gratuity is $248, but with a drinks package, only $108.

For most people though, they can't drink that much every day even if they could one or two days on a 5-7 day cruise.

He is not being of himself in way that is above petty society, unless he is nothing more than his consumption. Which could be based but is also a hollow kind of based.
