These all-inclusive ships are truly spectacular. They are not inexpensive but then again they should be in a class by themselves. I was involved with the creation of one such line, Silver Seas. They have drinks included, tips included, and the service, the ships and the itineraries are magnificent. Here is a link to their site with sailing dates and prices: www.Silversea-Cruise-Line.com There are others as well that do an equally great job with the all-inclusive concept. Be prepared to spend a lot though, they don't appeal to everyone but those that you will meet on board know a great product when they experience it and come back over and over. This is how the well traveled travel well! I also like Seabourn. These are smaller ships by today's standards but have a service level that is truly wonderful. Some still charge an additional amount for Shore Excursions because not everyone wants a shore excursion. Some people are on board just to experience the cruise! What is nice is some of these luxury vessels are truly itinerary focused. They go to some of the ports that the others do not which is nice in itself. It is a lovely way to cruise, not the only way but a lovely way to cruise. Is it for everyone, NO Thank goodness! Oh and Crystal is a wonderful cruise line, one of my favorites in larger ships but is not an all-inclusive cruise line. Costly yes but again worth the price of admission. They do a really great job and their ships are lovely. Alcohol, well not free there! Bon Voyage no matter where your cruising may take you!<br><b>References : </b><br>34 years in the Travel Business and over 100 cruises Oh my and how there are!

I always bring my own booze on board in my checked in luggage. That saves some $$ on buying drinks at the bar. You can enjoy a cocktail on your balcony at night or before dinner. Make sure you pack it in plastic water bottles, put it in a zip lock bag and check it in. Do not try to carry it on.<br><b>References : </b><br> Crystal Cruises has all inclusive, but they are really, really expensive.

The all inclusives though are expensive.
