How much are drinks nowadays?

Just wondering how much beer costs on the ship these days. I hope it's not more than $5 or I'll have to seriously curtail my drinking or sneak some onboard, which I REALLY don't want to do. The wife is pregnant and is wondering if they will make virgin daquiris for her. We always get a set of souvenier glass drinks!

Is there a drink package or wristband of anything like that?

Not normally this cheap but I'm one of those economic crisis victims (cruise was booked before things got worse!)

As I recall, somewhere in the $4 to $4.50 a beer. There is no alcohol drink pkg, except for the dinner wine pkg. The soda pkg. is $6 a day for adults and $4 a day for kids. They do have buckets of beer for sale for a reduced price.

I couldn't get a bucket of beer on my July 11th Serenade cruise? Bartender claimed he had never heard of such a thing ?? !!!

Maybe they don't do buckets of beer in Alaska?

So regular Buds were about $5; drink of the day were $5.95, fancy schmancy drinks were $7.95 all the way up to $10 for a margaretta. They will make virgin drinks.

Bring your own soda and water onboard to save $$$.

And yet on my Adventure of the Seas Cruise last fall, everytime I ordered a beer, they tried to sell me a bucket of beer!
