Sounds like an excellent deal. Apparently when i called it was late enough to be full, but early enough that they hadnt decided to do an overflow cruise. Or the guy I spoke to was just clueless because I was never informed about that. I already have three Breakaway trips for this year so I doubt I'll try to get into the overflow cruise.
The ultimate beverage package limits are (if I remember correctly) $8.50 for cocktails, $10 for a glass of wine, $5.50 for bottled beer, and $5.95 for draft beer. Them giving it as part of the package is pretty sweet since you are normally charged around $50 per person per day plus a 15% gratuity on top. I generally add an extra dollar per drink as tip as I had heard that 15% doesn't get spread around as accurately as you would hope/expect. In fact the whole thing is run a little strangely, with you receiving bills for every drink and it going on your folio only to be taken off the last night. The time I bought the package, they missed taking off one drink. I never bothered to argue over one drink so I don't know how easy that process is to get it removed. It's a relatively new program and only available on certain ships so maybe they are still working out the kinks. I probably wouldn't buy it again, but if it's free, that's another story :)
I hope you all enjoy the cruise!
