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 1,200 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 8 nights are at sea, so you will actually be in the cabin in daylight. Roughly $750 more per person here — the one upgrade worth arguing about on a sea-day-heavy sailing.
Day one and the last day are half-days
A 8-night cruise is really 7 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

The drinks package

The Ambassador Drinks Package typically costs around £40-£50 per person, per day, including service charges.

Break-even: This package usually covers unlimited house brand spirits, house wines by the glass, draft beers, soft drinks, and specialty teas and coffees; it might take around 5-7 such drinks daily to match the package cost.

This package suits those who enjoy a regular selection of alcoholic beverages or specialty coffees throughout the day, but lighter drinkers might find it less cost-effective.

Gratuities: An automatic daily service charge of typically around £8-£9 per person, per day, is added to your on-board account, which may vary for higher cabin grades and can usually be adjusted or removed at Guest Services.
Wifi: Connectivity is available through various packages, ranging from basic internet access for email and messaging to higher tiers for streaming, with prices starting from around £10 for an hour or a data allowance.

Costs that surprise people

Speciality Dining. While main dining is included, restaurants like Saffron and the Chef's Table at Borough Market typically incur a cover charge per person.
Shore Excursions. Exploring ports with excursions booked through the cruise line will add to your bill, often at a higher price than arranging activities independently ashore.
Spa and Salon Services. Treatments such as massages, facials, and hair salon services are not included in the base fare and are charged separately.
Premium Beverages. Specialty coffees outside of meal times, bottled water, and certain branded alcoholic drinks are not included in the standard fare or the basic drinks package.
Laundry Services. Professional laundry, pressing, and dry cleaning services are available on board for an additional fee.
Shopping and Casino. Purchases from the on-board shops and any wagers made in the casino or arcade games are charged to your account.

Ways to spend less

Book Drinks Packages Pre-Cruise. Drinks packages are sometimes offered at a slightly reduced rate if purchased before sailing, compared to buying them once on board.
Dine in Included Restaurants. Stick to the main dining rooms and buffet for all your meals to avoid the extra charges of the speciality restaurants.

AI-written guidance, not a quote. Prices and policies change and vary by sailing — confirm anything that matters with the cruise line before you book.
