Do you think the Have It All Package is worth it? Comment YES or NO below! 😃

Crew gratuities are included when you do the "early booking" Have it All. You can see if just by looking at their site on a cruise that's a year or more in advance.

Thank you for the tip!! So if you book WAY in advance it includes crew gratuities? Like 1 year in advance? I'm assuming this is also if you book directly with HAL, which is many times more expensive?

​@@cruisetipswithchristina We have the gratuities included with the HIA package for a 2025 cruise. Some of the other benefits were slightly different, too. We booked through a travel agent (Vacations To Go) 17 months in advance - it wasn't even listed on their website yet. We have never gotten any of the packages before, because we don't drink. With the added benefit of gratuities and the perk that the sizeable deposit would be refundable with the package (but not without), we decided that it was worth it for this very special trip. 😊

@@jeannettehill6155 That's AMAZING!!! that you got gratuities included! Maybe that's the key...book more than 13-14 months in advance! Thank you for sharing!!

$55 a day for WiFi and mostly unlimited beverages is already a steal of a deal compared to Royal Caribbean’s drink package alone is $65 to $85 per day. We’ll be trying out the Have-it-All package next month on a 10 day cruise. So we get 2 all day excursions and 2 special dining meals as well. We do like our happy hour cocktails, strong coffees, and sodas as well as internet is a must for me (not for work! 😁). So I hope it’ll be worth it for us.

Sounds like it will DEFINITELY be worth it for you guys!! I wonder if maybe Royal Caribbean's drink package is more $$$ because more people take advantage and actually have 15 alcoholic drinks a day! 🤣😂

I think it’s worth it. We booked on a cruise to Norway in September our Have it all package included gratuities. We always end up in a specialty restaurant. We usually go on one or two excursions per cruise, while we are not big drinkers we do drink a lot of specialty coffees and a couple glasses of wine with dinner.

Thank you for the comment!!! Do you have a favorite specialty restaurant?

Worth it! By the time you price out an excursion, specialty dining and wifi you are at $11 dollars per day for drinks.

I was very lucky when I booked my 15 Night Cultural Crossing with Paris & London (Rotterdam to Ft. Lauderdale)for next October. I have the “have it all packaged” which includes premium Wi-Fi , drinks up to $15 specialty dining, short excursion and gratuity.

Oh I didn't know that the HIA package includes unlimited soda?!

I recently discovered your videos and have enjoyed what I have seen! You may have answered this in a previous video, but here is my question... We have a large amount of onboard credit for a cruise, and there are excursions we would like to take. Can we book shore excursions before the cruise, using the onboard credit? What about booking specialty dining using the HIA dining credit?

I wish!! You have to WAIT until you are onboard to using any onboard credits =) Gratuities will take up a large portion of them! And please subscribe so you hear about new videos too!

Wishing to meet you.
