Windstar Cruises Beverage Packages



In another post, someone asked for information about beverage packages on Windstar Cruises. I thought I'd post it here to make it easy for anyone to find.


On this cruise, Windstar offered two beverage packages:


All-Inclusive Beverage Package
$434.70 US per person/per week
This includes unlimited consumption of premium cocktails except X.O. & Louis XIII; wines by the glass with a maximum price of $11.50; house champagnes; imported and domestic beers; soft drinks and bottled water (in restaurants and bars). Mini-bar items, in-room bottled water, and beverages through Room Service are NOT included.


Non-Alcoholic Beverage Package
$144.90 per person/per week
This includes unlimited consumption of non-alcoholic wines by the glass with a maximum price of $11.50; "virgin" cocktails; non-alcoholic beers; and soft drinks and bottled water (in restaurants and bars). Mini-bar items, in-room bottled water, and beverages through Room Service are NOT included.


If one person in your group takes a beverage package, everyone must. For example, Leonard selected the All-Inclusive Beverage Package (since he's a wine drinker) and I picked the Non-Alcoholic Beverage Package since I don't drink.


Your key card will be marked with your package selection but you rarely have to show your card. The waitstaff learn your room number quickly and bill the drinks to your package automatically.

Livorno (Pisa), Italy: Day Five Aboard Windstar Wind Surf

Another gorgeous day dawned and we were up early to meet our Windstar shore excursion to Pisa. We'd never been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa complex so we felt this would be the best use of our time (instead of the super long coach ride to Florence).

The cathedral at Pisa is absolutely stunning! This tour was an excellent value and we look forward to returning and taking even more photos than we did today.

Here's a look at Pisa, Italy:

Portoferraio, Italy: Day Two Aboard Windstar Wind Surf


From Civitavecchia, Windstar Wind Surf sailed to Portoferraio on the island of Elba, where Napoleon was exiled twice. We didn’t take a tour here but instead enjoyed walking around the town. Here are a few photos to give you a flavor of this port of call.







Stay tuned for more photos from Windstar Wind Surf's Rome to Nice voyage.
