Is the Upgrade Worth It?
It Depends on How You Like to Cruise
The original Greece 2027 newsletter introduced Free at Sea Plus as an optional upgrade for travelers who wanted more connectivity, upgraded beverages, specialty coffee, additional dining value, and other onboard conveniences.
It was not presented as the right choice for everyone. The idea was to compare the upgrade cost with the things you might otherwise pay for separately and decide which option offered the better value for your own vacation.

Think About Your Vacation Style
The Best Value Is Personal
An upgrade only provides value if you actually use the benefits. Someone who rarely connects to Wi-Fi and prefers the standard beverage selections may be perfectly happy with the standard package.
Someone who plans to stay connected every day, enjoys premium beverages or specialty coffee, and wants additional dining flexibility may find the upgrade much more attractive.
Daily Wi-Fi use
Specialty coffee
Premium beverages
Bottled water
Specialty dining
Convenience
The Bottom Line
Free at Sea Plus Is Not Automatically the Better Choice
The original newsletter recommended looking at how you actually plan to spend your time and money onboard.
If you do not need daily Wi-Fi, premium drinks, specialty coffee, or added dining flexibility, the standard Free at Sea offer may meet your needs.
If several Plus benefits are things you would otherwise purchase separately, the upgrade may provide meaningful value.
