*I am personally going to upgrade to their new “Free At Sea Plus”

the Starbucks package, the bottled water package,
the premium liquors (even though I don’t drink), etc…
It’s an extra $49.99 per day, (beyond the Package A costs/amenities),
but the upgraded WiFi and free prepaid gratuities, Starbucks,
and bottled water, more than make it worth it for me!
