One of the joys of getting an adult beverage package on a cruise is that you can try new drinks and spirits you may not see in the bars or stores at home. That could mean trying a trendy cocktail like a Lavender Martini, or some silly frozen concoction you might never even imagine.
Cruise lines also include a number of mid-tier bourbon, whiskey, and tequila options that might be out of your price range on land. And, if you truly want to splurge, the top-shelf stuff can usually be had just for paying the difference between the upper per-drink limit on the beverage package and the list price.

Princess Cruises has been trying to give passengers even more special options with its “Love Line Premium Liquors” collection, an exclusive line of wine and spirits created and curated by Princess celebrity creative partners to bring unique and indulgent experiences to the most iconic brand in cruising.
Now, the cruise line has expanded that offering to include Pantalones Organic Tequila — "the really good, really clean, award-winning, non-pretentious tequila created by Camila and Matthew McConaughey," it shared on its website.
