Anybody aware of the cost of drinks aboard cruise ships, specifically sea princess in the caribbean, but any info would be gratefully recieved to allow budgeting.

i was on a caribbean cruise in 1997 and the price of alcoholic drinks was expensive.i think back then a small can of lager 330 ml size was about �2.75 ,spirits were a little bit more expensive.There are happy hours on board as well and you can always sneak your own on board

Suggest you go to www.cruisecritic.com - then click on the word 'Boards' at the top and then click on the link for the Princess ships in the second section down - sure this question has been covered before - as well as the multiple tips as to how to smuggle booze on board [in listerine bottles etc....]!

beware of "cruise lizards"- they befriend you at the bar and the couple both order triples on your round, when their turn comes he goes to the bar and just buys min for you and they sit it out, or better still he has put "his" tab on your bill and by the end of the cruise you cant prove otherwise.
Some people have this down to a fine art because they simply cant afford it.
There are a few cruise ships that do "all in", I think Fred Olsen used to do it.
Tipping at the end of the cruise is another headache unless you state at the start of your cruise to the purser you dont want to do this they will automatically add the tips to your bill.
Friends of mine had quite a hefty bill due to both above when they left the ship and had not budgeted for it, it can come as quite a shock on your first cruise.
