Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

3 sea days
The pool loungers and the shaded spots go early on a sea day — by eight in the morning on a full ship, and this one carries 2,030 guests. Reserving one and leaving it is against the rules on most lines and crew do clear them, so send someone early rather than at ten.
This one earns the balcony
3 of 11 nights are at sea, so you will actually be in the cabin in daylight. Roughly $1,350 more per person here — the one upgrade worth arguing about on a sea-day-heavy sailing.
6 port days back to back
Early tenders and late returns, several days running, with no sea day to recover in. Pick the two ports you actually care about and let one of the others be a lie-in — the itinerary is not a checklist.
Day one and the last day are half-days
A 11-night cruise is really 10 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

The drinks package

AIDA offers various drink packages; a typical Comfort package might be around €25-€35 per person, per day, including service charge, when pre-booked.

Break-even: This package usually pays for itself with approximately 3-5 alcoholic drinks, like cocktails, glasses of wine, or large beers, or a higher number of specialty coffees and soft drinks per day.

This package suits those who enjoy a regular mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day; light drinkers or those who mostly consume free beverages with meals might find it unnecessary.

Gratuities: AIDA generally includes standard service charges in the cruise fare, meaning additional tips are voluntary and at the guest's discretion.
Wifi: Connectivity costs vary by package; a basic social media package might be around €5-€10 for a few hours or a small data allowance, suitable only for messaging and light browsing, but not for streaming or video calls. Confirm current prices and data limits when booking.
