    I've done 'Have it all' before, and I do agree, pre-booking it is less expensive. Specialty coffees with bailey's counts as two drinks. It's a great value to get the package. Thank you for summing up all of the drinks!

    You can find a reasonably priced cruise but once you start adding on the extras even if you go basic still drink package, dining extra, gravity Appreciation tips per day, 18% tax on all alcoholic drinks, and excursions can get costly per port thats a personal choice. Remember you also should have travel insurance and medical coverage as well and it's charged in USA currency if you're on the ship as well. The HIA package for 2 weeks buying ahead of time is still $55.00P/P per person per day in USA funds ( $944.00 Canadian dollars ) thats an extra cost even with the 2 dining experiences and $200.00 each for excursions and gratuity included and WiFi use. I can fly to another continent from Canada for the 2 weeks at pretty well the same cost as a 2 week cruise hard to justify taking one for that simple reason initially the base price looks good but once you add the extras on the price goes up dramatically in my opinion.

    On my one HAL cruise I took the HIA as well as Club Orange. Well worth it! We are usually on Viking or Oceania so it seemed a bit more premium on HAL that way. We went on the NS as well and really enjoyed it but I wouldn’t want to go on any larger ship. Also went in Oct. so minimal children.

    We purchased the have it all and it was definitely worth it. Although on our cruise they literally ran out of canned water and Perrier!! It was extremely frustrating searching from one bar to the next for water. We should of complained at guest services considering we had paid for the drink package. I planned on taking canned water on my excursions and to have plenty in our room. On our last day they loaded canned from port. A bit late!!

    Hubby and I opted in for the HIA on our summer Boston to Montreal MS Volendam cruise. I'm glad to see we did. We decided on the Pinnacle restaurant for the first night, as it's also our 39th anniversary. I just took a look at what was included and was surprised to see pre-paid crew appreciation promo.

    day trip without wifi or drink package. Never again! I drink a lot of speciality teas/coffees as well as alcohol. But by prepaying you get wifi, specialty restaurant credits, shore excursions as well as prepaid gratuities. We think they are well worth it as we don't take cruises less than 14 days.

    I’m sailing on the Konigsdam in a few weeks, it’s my understanding they have a whiskey bar aboard. We took the have it all as well (prebooked). Because our cruise is 22 days we get $300 in excursion credits and 3 dinners plus the liquor and water/pop in our package. The free gratuities is only on shorter trips, we have to pay the end of trip gratuities. They are included with our 15 drinks per day though.

    I love HAVE IT ALL, it about the same price as a drink package alone on the budget lines. I only drink 1 glass of wine per night at home, and 2-3 drinks on the ship, and am still well ahead.

    Very fair and informative video. We are on a 35-day cruise in February/24 and purchased the Have It All package for a number of reasons. We get 3 Specialty Dining restaurants, $300 USD/person for Excursions, WIFI and the Signature Beverage package. For the length of our cruise, having many sea days and port days that we could take advantage of the excursion allowance, we felt that it was to our advantage to purchase this package. It was an easy decision for us.

      The standard internet is not that great, but we upgraded to the higher package and for the first 2 weeks it was great, then for some reason it wasn’t so great for the 2nd 2 weeks. Think they had a problem but hopefully now it’s fixed! 🥂Have a great cruise 🚢
