Cutting out/down on the Drink.

Sounds like a death ship!
I'm not doing that ever.
I refuse all you can eat buffets now.
No control. Last one I was in severe pain from over eating.
Fair play to those that can control themselves.
 
Last Sunday was another cracker here, i felt good, the sun was shining and we decided to go with friends to the local, has a cracking sunset there etc. Had a few spirits with Coke not like me on a sunday, but in the sun i was absolutely buzzing, in fact had another one when i got home. Felt like absolute **** for 48hrs after, worse than a friday i think my body wasn't used to a surprise sunday mini sesh at all.
It was epic Sunday afternoon in the sun with friends and drinks but not sure it was that worth it. Its all Ying n Yang isn't it, there's not much in this world you get for free, some of my top buzzes have been from training/running cycling where i relax after with music in the sun, the highest of highs were from popping E's when i was a young person but lets not go there.
 
We went on a cruise in April that was all inclusive including booze. We paid extra to go 'premium all inclusive' which was basically better brands, canned/bottled mixers instead of out of the pump and premium coffee's and teas from the speciality coffee house. I drank far more than I would normally - sort of felt I had to - trying out premium gins, brandies and scotch. I’ve never drank so much in a week and I don’t think it did me any good. Going on another cruise in September, not an all inclusive booze one this time so I’ll forgo any drinks packages and we'll be pay as you go on that one! I do enjoy a glass of wine or two with my meals but I'm not one for drinking in the day, especially on its own.
Very wise.

Montenegro was all inclusive, but cheap brands. I didn't go mad. If they had of been the better brands then I may have seen that i got my moneys worth.
 
I feel like I’m bored or drinking now, but the Mrs loves a bottle of wine after work on a Friday, so I join in. She can have 2 glasses, but I can get greedy.

Most years I take 4 weeks off and feel like brand new. I haven’t this year and think I should do longer.

Once I’ve had a cup of tea after work I don’t fancy a beer. It’s just the weekends that get me.
 
Be interested to see how that goes as we cruise regular (as guests) and we always have the drinks package, the package usually costs us around a £90 per day and we wondered if it worked out better to PAYG.
Really.?


I thought you was going to say ninety pound for the package.

I initially thought that's cheap.

Id never get my moneys worth.
 
We always use Princess cruises so a bit more expensive on the drinks packages, there are other things rolled into the drinks package such as WiFi, speciality coffees etc. but for an average 15 day cruise the drinks are around £1200. We were discussing not doing the drinks package in March. Because we always get an executive suite onboard, the Wifi is in anyway plus other perks which makes the drinks package less attractive. The onboard spend is good at £320. We had that only once.
How much would the whole cruise cost for 15 days?
 
Tip.
Mate goes on all inclusive and takes a pint glass.
Ha.
He's like. Why am I the only one!
 
Mate booked cruise.
Messaged me last week and said..
On a cruise now from Southampton so no flights. £115 a night for bed, unlimited food, entertainment (shows, surfing, ice skating, poker plus of course transport to different ports. Bargain.

Booked another for 2028 with balcony for £128
