Groove Cruise Miami 2020 drink package information

I’ll lay out some basic details on the package here, then I’ll go over how to determine whether or not this will be worth it.

Is the drink package worth it?

The answer is, “It depends.” I made a really comprehensive post for a past Groove Cruise outlining how to calculate whether this package makes sense for you.

Read it here, then apply those concepts to this year’s pricing.

In a nutshell, all you have to do is consider what you’d drink and how much you’d drink regularly (in addition to alcohol, consider whether you are a big soda or specialty coffee drinker), then compare that information with the cost of the drink package.

My math works out to $84.96/person/day for the Groove Cruise Miami 2020 drink package. The actual/total price will be reflected in the booking engine when checking out.

Based on my experience with drink prices, I feel that most people would have to purchase 9-12 alcoholic drinks per day to make out ahead with the drink package. If you add in sodas (not mixers, just sodas) and specialty coffees (or special juices), obviously you’ll have to purchase less alcoholic beverages. If you’re only getting the package for non-alcoholic beverages, that number jumps significantly, so I would suggest just purchasing those a la carte.

Note: As mentioned in the terms and conditions, if purchasing a drink package, everyone in your cabin has to make that purchase, so be sure to do this calculation for everyone to see if it makes sense for your group.

Pro tip: Don’t buy the package if you’re not absolutely certain that it makes sense for you. You don’t want to be pressured to drink more than usual just to make use of the package. That’s a recipe for a bad time.

Do I have to buy the package?

You do not have to buy this package. Most beverages (like water, juices, and coffee) are included in your cabin price, but alcohol and soda are not.

Personally, I just take advantage of the included beverages for the duration of the event and I save a ton of money. But, that’s what makes sense for how I rave. I’ll take the $339+ dollars and stretch it for other things.  If you find that you’ve spent more than this on past Groove Cruises or if you’ve done the math mentioned above, you might find the drink package to be a better value for you.
