Hi all, looking for recommendations or feedback about cruises from Brisbane in Jan 2024. Looking for a cruise with food and drink all included. Have heard Royal Carribean is good but to steer away from P&O. Some of the family have small children, others older with grown kids so looking to cater for all. Thanks :)

Looking for a cruise with food and drink all included
Not many have all drinks included in the price, but on Royal you can add a drinks package for unlimited booze.
RCI dont include drinks etc. Most (Royal, Celebrity etc) require drink packages to be purchased. These are in USD and fluctuate in pricing with discounts going from 10-40%. You can purchase a pack and then re purchase when a cheaper price appears - the original purchase is refunded.
Currently there are good deals for the 23 season to the South Pacific with free balcony upgrades etc running at $800 ish pp for 7-9 nights out of BNE.
Be aware that RCI ships are mid tier and while family friendly do have child exclusion areas. You may wish to check on child care offerings as you may struggle to get peace and quiet if there is no where to set them down, even for a few hours.
