Answered: First Day Drink Packages and Alcohol on Galveston Cruises

Drink packages are supposed to make things easier. Instead of having to budget and keep an eye on what you are spending, you simply pay one daily fee and drink your fill. Want a beer when you step on board? Just order it and get back to enjoying your cruise. Want a margarita while you sit poolside? Step up to the bar and it’s yours — no additional payments required.

And for the most part, the drink packages are simple and work exactly as planned. You can purchase the package, step on board the ship on the first day of the cruise and start getting your money’s worth. If you want a drink, you order it. Couldn’t be simpler, right?

Well, cruises from Galveston are a little different. There are special rules that apply to selling alcohol in Texas that have an impact on your drink package and what you can order.

Special Rules for Alcohol on Texas Cruise Ships

Search around the Internet and you’ll find all sorts of questions about drink packages for cruising from Galveston. Rumors and hearsay have run rampant across the Internet for years as passengers tell their stories. Meanwhile, Carnival and Royal Caribbean (the two lines that sail from the island) have different policies regarding alcohol while in Texas waters that causes even more confusion.

That’s why we spoke with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) — the body that regulates the sale of alcohol in Texas — as well as cruise line representatives to get the details on cruise line policy and Texas laws surrounding drink packages.

What follows is each cruise line’s policy about selling alcohol on the first day of a cruise from Galveston, plus details on the Texas laws that are behind the policies.

Carnival’s Policy Regarding Drink Packages and Alcohol in Galveston

First things first. If you purchase a drink package on a Carnival cruise departing Galveston, it will not be in effect until the next morning . So if you sail away on Sunday, you won’t be able to use your drink package (even if purchased ahead of time) until Monday morning. Don’t worry, you aren’t charged for this day. So a drink package on a 7-day cruise actually gets charged for six days.

This policy is clearly laid out on Carnival’s website , which says “Due to state laws, we cannot sell CHEERS! until the second day of the cruise (starting at 6:00am) for voyages departing from our Texas and New York home ports. Drinks purchased on the first day of the cruise will be charged to the guest’s Sail & Sign® card in the usual manner. When purchased on the second day of the cruise, guests are charged for the remaining days only (cruise duration less one day).”

The good news for cruise passengers?

You can still purchase alcohol when you first get on the ship. However, you should know that the menu is limited until the ship sails beyond Texas waters. According to a statement from a company representative:

“Carnival offers special drink menus that are in compliance with Texas state laws for the time we are sailing in Texas waters.”

You’ll still find plenty to drink during this time, but if you like a specific brand, it may not be available until the ship leaves state waters. (This takes about two hours from the time you depart the Port of Galveston.)

Royal Caribbean’s Policy Regarding Drink Packages and Alcohol in Galveston

If you sail on Royal Caribbean (Liberty of the Seas), then our understanding is you can use a drink package from the moment you step on the ship. While this has been mentioned regularly around the Internet, we tried to confirm it by pricing out the package for an upcoming 7-day cruise (we were quoted the daily price times the number of days in the cruise), as well as calling a Royal Caribbean representative to ask directly. We were told there is no waiting period for the package.

In addition, there is no special mention of drink package restrictions for Galveston cruises as found on Carnival’s website.

Like Carnival, Royal Caribbean does offer a limited alcoholic drink menu while in Texas . Below is an image of the menu while the ship is in Texas waters.

Limited menu aboard Royal Caribbean ship

While the menu still offers plenty of variety — including several beers and many mixed drinks — everything the ship serves while at sea isn’t available while in Texas waters.

Understanding the “Why” Behind These Restrictions

So why do the cruise lines have policies about selling drink packages on the second day and having limited menus?

To find out, we contacted the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC). While the TABC couldn’t comment on specific cruise line policies, they did shed light on rules surrounding drink packages and limited menus.

Drink Packages According to a spokesman for the TABC:

“State law and TABC rules prohibit any practice which could reasonably be interpreted to allow or encourage overconsumption of alcohol. This includes “all you can drink” packages or other promotions which allow unlimited alcohol for a buy-in price . These standards would apply to any alcoholic beverages served or sold within Texas territory, including any waters over which Texas claims jurisdiction. Once a vessel is outside of Texas territory, the state’s laws no longer apply.”

This appears to be the reason that Carnival waits to sell their drink package until the morning after sailaway from Galveston.

But what about Royal Caribbean? Frankly, we’re not sure. It seems that offering the drink package while the ship is still in Texas waters wouldn’t be allowed given Texas laws. However, there may be special circumstances that allow the cruise line to comply with the law for its specific situation.

An email to the cruise line asking for more information about their policies was not answered.

Limited Menus We also asked the TABC about limited menus and why they might be offered. According to the agency:

“Like any business which holds a Texas permit to sell alcohol, any alcohol sold by the cruise lines while in Texas must comply with the state’s alcohol laws. Sec. 28.07 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code requires that any holder of a Mixed Beverage Permit (the permit most commonly used by the cruise lines) must obtain their alcohol inventory from the holder of a Local Distributor’s Permit . Again, once the vessel is in international waters, these requirements no longer apply.”

In other words, if the cruise line didn’t get their beverages from a local distributor, then it’s our understanding that they can’t sell them in Texas.

Should they obtain alcohol from an outside source (for instance, because it is less expensive — or duty free — from another source) then our interpretation is that it would be illegal to serve this while in Texas waters. However, once in international waters the cruise line would be free to serve the “out-of-state” alcohol.

This seems to be reason for the limited menu. In fact, Royal Caribbean mentions “We will only be serving Texas liquor at these bars until out of Texas waters” in their Cruise Compass information guide on embarkation day.

Remember: Restrictions Are Only Temporary

While we’ve spent a lot of time covering the ins and outs of drink packages and limited menus when sailing from Galveston, it’s actually quite simple. Both cruise lines have limited drink menus until out of Texas waters. Carnival makes passengers wait until the morning after sailaway to use a drink package. Royal Caribbean allows the use of drink packages right from the start.

Just don’t be surprised if you can’t get your favorite drink the moment you step on board. You might have to wait a couple of hours.

How does this apply to non alcohol drinks

It doesn’t at all.

What do you know about NCL drink package? I haven’t been able to find out anything when searching. Debarkation would be Texas. Thank you for any help.

Good morning. If I understand correctly, you can purchase alcoholic beverages directly on day one, but you cannot use the beverage package to purchase alcoholic beverages on day one. With total respect, can someone please explain this?

My understanding is that TABC (Texas authority on alcohol) does not allow “all you can drink” packages in the state. So Carnival waits until day 2.

it seems that you can’t sell in “Packages” in Texas waters. Royal can pre sell the packages which means its purchased before you even arrive on board. You just can’t “BUY” the packages the day of.

So you’re charged for the two days you can’t use it

No. The first day on the ship you can’t use it, and you aren’t charged. You also aren’t charged the day of debarkation.

Gotta get a clarified answer as to why you can use Royal Caribbean’s drink package, but not Carnival’s. Do any other cruise lines port in Texas ever?

We’re not sure why. From our understanding, neither should be able to offer a drink package until they are out of Texas waters. Disney also sails from Texas on a seasonal basis.

We contacted Carnival about the Texas Law and was OK with it, however they would be charging us for 5 days, which we paid for in advance, not 4 days, which is what we will actually get. About a $250 ripoff for 5 people booked on our cruise.

Mike, you might want to call back. Given how specific the law is, it’s common for confusion. Here’s the policy on their website ( https://www.carnival.com/help/2633 ):

Due to state laws, we cannot sell CHEERS! until the second day of the cruise (starting at 6:00am) for voyages departing from our Texas and New York home ports. Drinks purchased on the first day of the cruise will be charged to the guest’s Sail & Sign® card in the usual manner. When purchased on the second day of the cruise, guests are charged for the remaining days only (cruise duration less one day)

Alcohol delivery app launches on the Coast

GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - When the Mississippi Legislature passed a bill allowing for alcohol delivery , Anthony Depreo of Diamondhead got in on the ground floor.

He has some experience in the food delivery business and now has launched Booze Cruise.

“We’re the first one, we’re the first permitted, the first licensed and we’re very honored for that to be the case,” he said.

Depreo announced the company’s launch last week. So far, they have signed up eight partners in two counties on the Coast. Six liquor stores in Hancock County and two beer retailers in Harrison County. Depreo said they are working to expand their services into Gulfport, Biloxi and Ocean Springs.

“We have ambitions to expand to every mid-size town in Mississippi in the next couple of years,” Depreo said with confidence.

While the liquor industry was the main force behind getting the law passed, local beer companies are getting on board too. Chandeleur Island Brewing Company in Gulfport was the first beer retailer to sign up with Booze Cruise.

“We saw the announcement of it on Facebook over the weekend that it was happening in Oxford and Starkville and the Gulf Coast,” said Gina Prater, sales manager for Chandeleur Island. “I immediately started researching, and I literally Facebook messaged Anthony and within 60 seconds, I think he called me. "

Depreo was quick to respond for a reason.

“Our local breweries, I mean between Chandeleur and our other local breweries, I think those are the people that we’re really excited to work with,” Depreo said. “Because that’s the cornerstone of our beer industry down here and these are beers people are familiar with.”

Prater said it’s a natural extension of the specialty delivery industry that has grown during the pandemic.

“It’s convenience,” she said. “It’s a product that they know. We’re happy to partner with them because we think it’s going to be another added benefit to our brewery here locally.”

Booze Cruise operates off of an app that not only allows you to order but ensures that the person ordering is old enough to do so. That was a big selling point for Prater whose customers have been calling in and picking up their own orders during the pandemic.

“So I can imagine that those people will be excited on Sunday afternoon to say ‘Hey, game’s coming on’, or Saturday afternoon, and I’d like two cases of beer delivered to the house,” Prater said.

But she misspoke.

That Sunday order will have to be made on Saturday because the law does not allow for delivery of alcohol on Sundays or Christmas Day.

Where to Book Booze Cruises of All Kinds in D.C.

Seasonal offerings on the Potomac include tailgating excursions to Nats Park, sunset Champagne on the dock, and everything in between

This spring, D.C. docks are home to a surge of drinking vessels designed for every occasion, vibe, and price point. A returning line of retro motor boats are apparently the ticket to getting engaged, with seven proposals out on the water last year. Want to watch dolphins give birth on the Chesapeake this summer? One hotel offers an excursion for that. And a fancy sailboat manned by a fine dining chef pairs tasting menus with French wines.

Soak up monumental views along the Potomac River, drink in tow, with this running list of bookable boats.

Sea Suite Cruises

Co-founders and Arlington natives Jack Walten and Jack Maher’s first BYOB paddle pub debuted in 2018. Six years later, their supersized fleet is made up of 13 boats bobbing around Mid-Atlantic waterways (in D.C., Baltimore, Annapolis, and Richmond), plus floating tiki bars. And a landlocked bar born in Clarendon is the muse for one of their hottest new bookings this season:

Whitlow’s on Water

Now the largest boat in Sea Suite Cruises’ fleet, the 48-passenger tiki tour is the product of a fun new partnership with Whitlow’s owner Jon Williams. His iconic Clarendon dive moved to Shaw, but its original tiki rooftop on Wilson is reincarnated as a floating bar. “Whitlow’s on Water has taken the [Potomac] by storm,” says Sea Suite’s Jack Walten, noting it’s pretty much sold out almost every Saturday through the summer. Diehard Whitlow’s regulars, which includes the “Jacks,” have a familiar face on board: a former bartender from its Clarendon days handles the liquid lineup. Standard mixed drinks join beers, wines, High Noon seltzers, orange crushes, and rum punches. There’s also a selection of pub grub (sandwiches, wings, etc.) sourced from Whitlow’s.

Two TVs air “whatever people want to watch,” he says, which has included everything from March Madness to the Bachelorette (bachelorette parties are popular bookings, after all). As are corporate teams, birthdays, Whitlow’s fans, and even 50-year wedding anniversaries. Individual tickets are also available, to “mix and mingle like you would in a normal bar,” he says. Sea Suite caters to Washington Nationals fans with a traffic-free cruise from Georgetown to the Yards Marina, docking just in time to walk over for the first pitch. “Tailgating on a tiki boat, it doesn’t get better than that,” he says.

Price: Ticket tiers start at $24 and up for daily options that include individual or group sightseeing tours, tiki taxis, private charters, or “Nats Sailgate” ( book online).

Where: Pick-ups and drop-offs in Georgetown in front of Fiola Mare ( 3100 K Street NW ) and Yards Marina by District Winery (1492 4th Street SE )

Retro Boat Rentals

Vintage runabout boats from Sinatra’s time were retro-fitted with electric motors, so having a romantic or intimate conversation is highly possible. It’s no wonder there were multiple (seven) proposals out on the water last year, reports Sea Suite. Each four-top fiberglass beauty sports a different color and name (Gladys, Bonnie, and Violet).

Price: $175-$225 for 1.5-hour tours; BYO drinks and food

Where: Wharf to the Washington Channel

Introduction

Welcome aboard the exciting world of booze cruises! Whether you’re looking to party, relax, or explore new destinations, a booze cruise offers a unique and exhilarating experience. This article will take you on a journey through the world of booze cruises, exploring their definition, history, destinations, types, benefits, drawbacks, and tips for a memorable and safe experience.

A booze cruise, as the name suggests, combines the best of both worlds – cruising on a luxurious ship and indulging in a variety of alcoholic beverages. It’s a popular choice for individuals, groups, and even bachelor and bachelorette parties. But booze cruises are not limited to partygoers; they are also a great option for individuals wanting to unwind and enjoy a laid-back vacation.

The concept of a booze cruise has a long and fascinating history. From ancient celebrations to modern-day vacations, the idea of combining drinks and sailing has been around for centuries. The earliest known booze cruises can be traced back to the ancient Greeks, who would indulge in wine and revelry while sailing the Aegean Sea. Over time, the concept evolved, and booze cruises became synonymous with fun-filled adventures at sea.

Definition of Booze Cruise

A booze cruise is a type of cruise experience that focuses on the consumption of alcoholic beverages while enjoying the amenities and entertainment provided on board a cruise ship. It is a social event that combines the excitement of a party atmosphere with the leisure of a vacation. It typically involves cruising along picturesque coastlines or through stunning bodies of water, allowing passengers to relax, party, and enjoy the scenic views.

On a booze cruise, guests can expect a wide range of alcoholic beverages, including cocktails, beer, wine, and spirits, often available as part of all-inclusive drink packages or at bars and lounges on board the ship. The cruise experience may also feature themed parties, DJ sets, live music performances, and various entertainment activities to keep the party spirit alive throughout the journey.

Booze cruises are not limited to a specific age group or demographic. They attract a diverse crowd, including young adults looking for a vibrant nightlife scene, couples seeking a romantic getaway, and groups of friends or colleagues celebrating special occasions. Some cruise lines even offer adult-only booze cruises, catering specifically to those who want an unfiltered, adults-only party experience.

It’s important to note that while a booze cruise emphasizes the consumption of alcohol, responsible drinking and safety are always encouraged and upheld. Cruise ship staff are trained to enforce responsible drinking policies and ensure the well-being of all guests on board.

Overall, a booze cruise provides an exciting, all-in-one package of relaxation, entertainment, and indulgence for those who want to combine the joys of a cruise vacation with the thrill of a lively party atmosphere.

History of Booze Cruises

The history of booze cruises can be traced back to ancient times when sailing and drinking were intertwined in celebrations and social gatherings. The ancient Greeks were known for their love of wine and would often indulge in drinks while sailing the Aegean Sea. These wine-fueled voyages were seen as a way to honor the god Dionysus and celebrate life.

Fast forward to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, booze cruises gained popularity among the wealthy elite. The upper class would charter private yachts and set sail with an abundance of fine wines, champagne, and other spirits. These extravagant parties at sea were synonymous with luxury and opulence.

In the mid-20th century, booze cruises underwent a transformation. The focus shifted from exclusive, high-end gatherings to more accessible and affordable experiences for the general public. Cruise lines began offering all-inclusive packages, allowing passengers to enjoy unlimited drinks while on board. This marked the beginning of the modern-day booze cruise industry.

The 1980s and 1990s saw a surge in the popularity of party cruises. These themed cruises catered to specific interests and demographics, with themes ranging from music genres like rock and reggae to events like spring break and bachelor/bachelorette parties. Booze cruises became synonymous with fun-filled adventures, attracting a younger crowd looking for non-stop entertainment and vibrant nightlife.

Today, booze cruises have become a staple in the cruise industry. Nearly every major cruise line offers some form of booze cruise experience, whether it’s a designated party cruise or simply an opportunity for passengers to unwind with a drink in hand. These cruises now cater to a wide range of preferences, from laid-back relaxation to energetic party scenes.

Furthermore, booze cruises have also expanded beyond traditional ocean cruises. Many lakes, rivers, and even canal systems around the world offer booze cruises. These experiences combine scenic views and tranquil waters with on-board bars and lounges, providing a unique way to enjoy the beauty of nature while sipping on your favorite drink.

Overall, the history of booze cruises reflects the evolving desires and preferences of travelers. From ancient celebrations to exclusive gatherings and inclusive party experiences, booze cruises continue to captivate people seeking a combination of adventure, relaxation, and enjoyment.

Drawbacks of Booze Cruises

While booze cruises can be an incredibly fun and memorable experience, it’s important to consider the potential drawbacks before embarking on one. Here are some of the drawbacks to be aware of:

1. Excessive Drinking: Booze cruises have a strong emphasis on alcohol consumption, which may lead some individuals to engage in excessive drinking. This can result in negative consequences such as hangovers, impaired judgment, and potential conflicts. It’s important to practice responsible drinking and be mindful of your alcohol intake to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

2. Noise and Crowds: Booze cruises tend to attract a large number of partygoers, especially on designated party cruises. The lively atmosphere may come with increased noise levels and crowded areas, which may not be ideal for those seeking a more tranquil or intimate vacation experience. If you prefer a quieter trip, it’s advisable to research the cruise’s demographic and choose a different type of cruise or a different sailing date.

3. Higher Costs: Booze cruises, especially those with all-inclusive drink packages, may come with higher initial costs compared to regular cruises. While the convenience of unlimited drinks is undoubtedly appealing, it’s essential to consider the overall expenses, including the cruise fare, gratuities, and any additional expenses that may arise during the trip.

4. Limited Time in Ports: Depending on the itinerary, booze cruises often have limited time in ports of call. This can restrict your ability to explore and fully experience the destinations. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the local culture and visit popular attractions, consider opting for a regular cruise that offers longer port stays or book additional excursions to make the most of your time ashore.

5. Potential for Overindulgence: With alcohol readily available and a party atmosphere, there is a risk of overindulging and neglecting other aspects of the cruise experience. It’s important to strike a balance between enjoying the drinks and taking advantage of other onboard amenities, entertainment, and activities. This ensures that you have a well-rounded vacation experience beyond just the party scene.

6. Safety Concerns: While cruise ships have safety protocols and trained staff to ensure the well-being of passengers, excessive drinking can increase the risk of accidents and unsafe behavior. It’s crucial to act responsibly, be aware of your surroundings, and follow the rules and regulations set by the cruise line. It’s also advisable to stay hydrated, eat well, and know your limits when it comes to alcohol consumption.

It’s important to consider these drawbacks and make an informed decision based on your preferences and priorities. While booze cruises offer a unique and lively experience, it’s essential to weigh the potential downsides to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.

Tips for a Fun and Safe Booze Cruise Experience

Embarking on a booze cruise can be an exciting and memorable adventure. To ensure a fun and safe experience, here are some essential tips to keep in mind:

1. Drink Responsibly: It’s important to practice responsible drinking during your booze cruise. Pace yourself and know your limits. Stay hydrated by drinking water in between alcoholic beverages. Remember that excessive drinking can lead to health issues and potentially ruin your cruise experience. Moderation is key.

2. Familiarize Yourself with Safety Procedures: Take some time to review the safety procedures and emergency protocols on the cruise ship. Familiarize yourself with the location of life jackets, emergency exits, and muster stations. Pay attention to the safety briefing conducted at the beginning of your cruise. Your safety is a top priority.

3. Stay Hydrated: Alcohol can dehydrate your body, so it’s crucial to drink plenty of water throughout the cruise. Additionally, the sun and heat in certain destinations can further increase the risk of dehydration. Carry a reusable water bottle and take advantage of water stations on the ship to stay hydrated and feel your best.

4. Pace Yourself with Food: Alongside your drinks, make sure to consume sufficient food. Eating a balanced meal before and during the cruise will help absorb alcohol and reduce the chance of feeling nauseous or unwell. Take advantage of the various dining options available on the ship, and try to have a meal before consuming alcohol.

5. Be Mindful of Your Valuables: While cruising, keep your valuables secure. Use the in-room safe for items like passports, cash, and jewelry. When going ashore, carry only essential items and avoid displaying large amounts of cash or wearing expensive jewelry. It’s always better to be cautious and minimize the risk of loss or theft.

6. Respect Ship and Port Regulations: Each cruise ship and port has specific rules and regulations that guests must abide by. Familiarize yourself with these guidelines to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience. For example, some ships may have designated smoking areas or restricted areas for drinking alcohol.

7. Participate in Non-Alcoholic Activities: While a booze cruise may revolve around alcohol consumption, take advantage of the non-alcoholic activities available on board. Engage in fitness classes, attend live shows, relax by the pool, or participate in shore excursions that don’t involve drinking. This allows for a well-rounded experience and helps you to fully enjoy all the amenities offered by the cruise ship.

8. Respect Fellow Passengers and Crew: Be respectful to your fellow passengers and the cruise ship crew. Remember that everyone is there to have a good time, so maintain a friendly and considerate attitude. Follow any instructions given by the ship’s personnel, and be mindful of noise levels and personal boundaries.

By following these tips, you can have a fun and safe booze cruise experience that leaves you with incredible memories to cherish. Remember to enjoy yourself responsibly and make the most of all the amenities and activities available on board.

Booze cruises offer a unique and exhilarating way to combine the pleasures of a vacation with the excitement of a party atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to dance the night away, unwind by the pool with a refreshing drink, or explore stunning destinations, a booze cruise provides an all-in-one package of entertainment, relaxation, and indulgence.

Throughout history, booze cruises have evolved, catering to changing preferences and demographics. From ancient wine-fueled celebrations to modern-day all-inclusive party cruises, the concept has captured the imaginations of people from all walks of life.

While there are potential drawbacks to consider, such as excessive drinking and crowded spaces, taking precautions and practicing responsible behavior can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. It’s essential to stay hydrated, pace yourself with alcohol consumption, and familiarize yourself with safety procedures.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Is there such a thing as too much wine? This booze cruise doesn’t think so

Share this with

There are 3,000 bottles of wine on board (Picture: Riverside Cruises)

We’re imagining it now: we’re relaxing on our balcony, sipping a glass of vino , as the quaint towns and villages on the banks of the River Danube pass us by.

And what happens when our glass is empty?

Well, we simply order another. And another. And another.

Riverside Mozart, a Riverside Cruises ship , prides itself on its culinary offerings. Everything, even the jam, is made from scratch, and the last thing the crew wants is for its guests to go hungry – or thirsty.

The boat sails with approximately 3000 bottles of wine on board. With a maximum capacity of just 162 passengers, that’s more than 18 bottles of wine each.

Even the ship’s longest route – which sails on the Danube for 9 days from Austria to Germany – would mean, at maximum capacity, each guest could technically drink two bottles of wine each, every day of their holiday.

Enjoy your wine in a private dining room (Picture: Glyn Ridgers)

So if you thought a booze cruise was all about dancing to Europop while downing miscellaneous shots, you need to think again.

The impressive wine collection on board Riverside Mozart is stored in a private dining room, known as the Vintage Room, and there are more than 120 different wines to choose from.

If your party chooses to dine in the Vintage Room, you’re in for a decedent experience. The chefs create a memorable menu, with wine pairings selected by the Head Sommelier.

The stunning Vista Deck (Picture: Riverside Cruises)

After dinner, you can then move into the Palm Court, where you’ll be serenaded with the musical stylings of Mozart (of course) played on a grand piano.

If you fancy somewhere with a more bustling atmosphere, the ship also has Waterside, a fine dining restaurant, Marketplace, where you can select a buffet breakfast, Blue Bar Grill for a casual lunch, Vista Grill & Bar which boasts food with a view, and Bistro, a quaint coffee house.

Of course, it’s not just the food that’s five-star. How does personal butler service and a floating spa sound?

And the suites will bring any London renter to tears. The largest on offer, the Owner Suite, has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room, complete with a fireplace.

And, you can kick back and relax as the crew washes and irons your laundry – free of charge.

But, luxury service (and all that booze) comes with a luxury price tag.

For a five day trip in August on the ‘Danube Highlights Westbound’ cruise, which takes you from Budapest to Hungary, staying in the Owner’s Suite, with premium board, including excursions, will set you back a whopping £13,094.

The ship is nominated in the Food and Beverage category of the Sailawaze Excellence Awards – how does it shape up among its fellow nominees?

Explora Journeys is nominated for its 11 culinary experiences, the most in ‘ultra-luxury’ cruise, all offering wellbeing, vegetarian, and plant-based dishes, plus refined in-suite dining from each eatery. It also boasts a sushi bar plus sakes and shōchū, alongside celebrated guest chefs.

Windstar Cruises is the official cruise line of the James Beard Foundation, and guests can accompany chefs to local markets. It’s also hosts the first plant-based cruise.

Celestyal’s nomination shouts out its 15 bars across a two-ship fleet, with a specialist Alchemy cocktail menu with 23 innovative cocktails – and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages provided with all meals.

Cruise line Cunard shared its partnership with chef Michel Roux for Queen Anne’s dining, where he designed Queens Grill restaurant’s Gala Evening menu. The nomination also includes its Golden Lion pub dining revamped with exclusive dishes by Roux.

Then there’s Virgin Voyages’ first-to-sea Korean BBQ, its 24/7 diner and Michelin-starred chefs and 20+ unique eateries, while Aqua Expeditions was nominated for its chef-hosted departures and Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei cuisine.

Also with its vegan offering, P&O’s nomination includes its Vegan restaurant Green & Co, with signature dishes and drinks including Kombucha-infused Beetroot, Chakalaka Wellington, Sakura and Lavender cocktail.

In a stacked category, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has 128 culinary-focused shore excursions in the Mediterranean, with a new Epicurean Perfection immersive programme of tastings, deck-top regional barbecues, cooking classes, plus 130 new exclusive dishes on Regent’s latest ship Seven Seas Grandeur.

Breaking news, selma blair recalls ‘humiliating’ drunken plane outburst that got her ejected: ‘i was so messed up’.

View Author Archive

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Selma Blair is getting candid about her 2016 flight outburst that got her ejected from the aircraft — revealing it was her lowest point with drinking.

“I had too much to drink in Mexico,” she told Us Weekly in an interview published Wednesday. “I was so messed up and dehydrated and hungover and didn’t know I had neurological issues. I didn’t understand anything.”

“It was horrifying and humiliating,” she added. “I had to grow up.”

The “Legally Blonde” actress was traveling with her then-4-year-old son , Arthur Saint, and his father, Jason Bleick, when she was removed from the plane on a stretcher and taken to the hospital after mixing her medication and alcohol.

Selma Blair is seen during the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024/25 as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 24, 2024 in Paris, France.

At the time, Blair allegedly cried out “he burns my private parts. He won’t let me eat or drink. He beats me. He’s going to kill me,” according to reports .

The 52-year-old, who got sober in 2016, issued an apology a few days after the incident.

“I made a big mistake yesterday,” Blair told Vanity Fair in a statement. “After a lovely trip with my son and his dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret.”

Blair says that she started drinking alcohol in excessive amounts to suppress “jerks and spasms” that she had over the years. At first, she thought the spasms were due to mental issues, but figured out the cause behind them in 2018.

Selma Blair is seen on September 30, 2022 in Los Angeles, California.

“Once I knew I had MS [multiple sclerosis] which I’d had for a while [things] made so much more sense,” she told Us. “And I actually became much happier.”

“I wouldn’t have been able to be diagnosed with MS unless I was sober. I wouldn’t be a good mom unless I was sober. I self-medicated.”

Blair believed she was making things up before being diagnosed with MS.

Actress Selma Blair arrives at the 5th Annual Baby2Baby Gala at 3LABS on November 12, 2016 in Culver City, California.

“I just thought, ‘Jesus, Selma, you’re very broken inside. Just admit it.’ I didn’t know I wasn’t broken and that I had brain tissue damage,” she went on.

The “Cruel Intentions” actress released her documentary, “Introducing, Selma Blair,” in 2021, which gave an emotional and intimate look at her struggles with the autoimmune disorder and her journey to undergo a potentially fatal stem cell transplant.

“She just kept showing up for me each day and telling me the truth and giving me herself in her fullness, which is extremely generous and very unique,” the film’s director, Rachel Fleit, previously told The Post.

Five years after getting the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Blair admitted that she didn’t realize how long recovery would take.

“I’ve had to fake it till I make it. I aged so much after the chemo and then menopause. That’s something no one talks about. But I’m getting back on track,” she explained.

The “The Sweetest Thing” star is still in remission while doing treatments and has had MRIs done a couple of times during the years.

“I do IVIG [a therapy that uses antibodies from healthy donors], which keeps me from getting sick. If I get sick, all bets are off. That’s how I maintain the wellness people see,” Blair said, sharing other methods that have helped with her recovery. “Some are [considered] experimental but nothing is so left-field — I’m not rich enough to go to Sweden or Germany to do all these wild things.”

One person who has helped her during her journey is her best friend, Jaime King.

Selma Blair at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall 2024 show on June 26, 2024 in Paris, France.

“She’s profoundly lovely and I’ll always look to her as an inspiration. She’s someone who gets up over and over again, too,” she told Us.

Since being diagnosed with MS, complete strangers have also expressed how Blair has given them hope.

Selma Blair attends the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 26, 2024 in Paris, France.

“I could be sitting crying at a table and someone leaves me a note that says, ‘You changed my daughter’s life’ or ‘My daughter dances again because she didn’t mind looking strange anymore when she can’t do it,’ ” Blair explained. “And I feel like the luckiest person in the world. It makes me so emotional.”

Blair said that if there is one thing she would tell herself six years ago, it would be that it’s OK.

“You’re being lovingly guided and things will come in their time. You just have to keep showing up,” she said. “One day you’ll feel better — and you’ll do an interview talking about how far you’ve come!”

Although she hasn’t been in any projects since 2021, Blair would love to work on a period piece like “Downton Abbey” or “have a rebirth like Jennifer Coolidge” in “The White Lotus.”
