There’s also one important thing to remember: You can always add a drink in the moment! If you didn’t purchase the alcohol package but want a glass of wine at dinner, you can pay by the glass. If you got the soda package but decided you wanted that super cool latte you saw someone else walk by with, you can purchase it there.

If you decide to go with the Deluxe Beverage Package, you must add it to every adult member in the cabin, so it can feel very all or nothing. With all this information, we have no doubt you’ll pick the best package for your family!

When we go, we tend to stick with the Refreshment Package but add on a few drinks during dinner. This helps keep the cost down without feeling like we need to drink at every meal to make up the price. We also love to have soda options throughout the day!
