I have heard that some cruise lines are all inclusive including alcohol. Anyone know which cruise line?

Answer 1

I've sailed them and can tell you which do offer all-inclusive cruises:
Silversea, Seabourn, Regent (starting Jan 2007),
Sea Dream

Cruise lines are catergorized as follows:

Mass-market - Examples: NCL, Carnival, MSC, Royal Cariibbean
(they are aimed at the price conscious and young families; 2000+ passengers)

Premium - Examples: Celebrity, Holland-America, Princess, & Cunard (nicer ships, bit more in price, better itineraries, 1500+ passengers)

Ultra Premium - Example: Oceania (684+ passengers, still large ship, longer itineraries 10+ days vs 7 or less on others, very interesting itineraries - very good value for what you are getting)

Luxury - Example: Silversea, Regent (390 - 790 passengers, all inclusive includes accommodations, meals, all beverages, including alcohol, entertainment on board, and gratuities.) No inside cabins, all staterooms are suites 90% w/ balconies.

Seabourne has smaller ships but is all inclusive and all suites.

Sea Dream has 2 mega-yachts that carry 110 passengers each.
Smallish cabiins compared to others, but also all-inclusive.

Crystal has 1100+ passenger ships but also all-inclusive

There are great discounted sailings on all of these "luxury cruises" and if you look at those and compare that pricing to the total amount you will lay out on a lesser cruise line, after they "nickel and dime" you to death even for things like soda and bottled water, you'll find you're spending probably the same amount of money and not getting the nicer cabins, better food and service.

I've sailed on all of these cruise categories and many times on the "luxury ships". Please email me if you'd like to discuss further.: [e-mail].

Answer 2

the High end luxury lines like Seabourn are the only ones that offer most alchohol as part of th ecruise price, but you will still pay extra for Top Shelf stuff.

BUT you are also paying a LOT more for the cruise itself as well.

Answer 3

I work for a cruise line. Most do not offer this option. Crystal is going to do a "trial run" of this. I am not sure if it has started or not. I believe Cunard may also do this.

Answer 4

hi a cruise company called silver seas is the one that i know of there may be more. it does not suit all as ships are small but very beautyfull and service is great but the age group may not suit, and you will meet the same people all the time .great if thats what you like

Answer 5

It depends on the laws of the country that the ship "belongs" to. Most won't allow it.

Answer 6

Never heard of that, usually alcohol is separate.
