      Actually no, BUT... they do have an opportunity to purchase SAILOR LOOT, which we did a promo for about $600 for the week and didn't go through it all. We aren't heavy drinkers and you can always add to your sailor loot. I love how VV does this because if you travel with a second sailor they don't "make them" get a drink package if they don't want one, it goes to the individual not the cabin 👍
