How to use this drinks package calculator
1. Enter the number of each type of drink that you would like in an average day. Remember that on sea days you might drink twice as many drinks as a port day. Use the average. Keep in mind you will also pay gratuities on top of the drink price. This is calculated at the bottom of the calculator.
2. Compare your daily drinks bill to the cost of the drinks package.
If you’d spend more without a package, you should get one!

The reason we’ve included Wi-Fi above is because most drink packages include some sort of Wi-Fi, so it will help you determine whether your drink package price per day is worth it or not.
In the case of Oceania, they include a basic Wi-Fi as part of your cruise, however if you want higher speed, it will cost you US$.99 per day. In more cases than not, it will be cheaper to buy a drink package (unless you only have 1 or 2 coffees and 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks and a bottle of water per day). It may even include gratuities, which will save you another 20% on every drink. Check with Paul or the cruise line direct as to whether WiFi and/or gratuities are included in the drink package.
Remember: The best time to purchase a drink package is when you purchase your cruise as they offer you the highest discount on drink packages at this time (usually 20%-30% cheaper).
Oceania’s offers four distinct beverage packages ranging from US$39.95 to US$69.95 per day.
Keep in mind these prices are subject to change.
