Royal Caribbean to offer "All you can drink" packages.

USA Today- Worried about keeping track of your spending on drinks on your next cruise? Royal Caribbean hopes to allay your fears with a trio of new one-price, all-you-can-drink packages.
A caveat: The offers, which are rolling out this week on three ships, aren't inexpensive. The line's new Beer and Wine Package costs $29 per person per day for all beers, house wine by the glass and a 25% discount on all other wines and liquors.
The line also is offering the Classic Package, which costs $39 per person per day and includes all beers, house wine by the glass, all liquor (except premium and speciality brands), cocktails and 25% discount on all other wines and premium and speciality liquors. The Premium Package, at $49 per person per day offers all that is included in the Classic Package plus glasses of wine that normally sell for up to $10, cocktails, premium liquor brands and a 25% discount on all bottles of wine, glasses of wine over $10 and speciality liquors.
The packages will be available on the UK-based Independence of the Seas, Asia-based Legend of the Seas and Panama- and Spain-based Grandeur of the Seas -- three ships that cater heavily to non-Americans who are more accustomed to all-inclusive packaging. Royal Caribbean says it is responding to consumer demand.
"Royal Caribbean International has developed these new packages to enable our guests to make their holiday more relaxing and enjoyable by paying one set price for a wide variety of drink choices," Royal Caribbean's top UK executive, Jo Rzymowska, says in a statement.

Expensive? What the hell are they talking about? Do you know how much beer you can drink in a whole day when you're on vacation? A shit load more than $29 worth. What else is there to do on a cruise besides eat and drink anyway? I can't think of anything. If I was on a cruise, I would be way past $29 worth of suds by lunch time, every day. As soon as they start offering this in America, sign me up, I'm on the first cruise. What great business move by Royal Carribean. Why would anyone book with any other cruise line when you can get all you can drink packages with Royal Carribean?

I don't know about the Premium package, though. All you can drink top-shelf liquor could be really dangerous. I could see a mutiny happening, with wasted cruisers taking over the ship.
