In our hyper-connected world, staying off the Internet for a week or more can be diffi- cult. Unsurprisingly, over 4 out of 5 advisors said that availability of Wi-Fi was one of the most important amenities in an all-inclusive cruise vacation. Onboard entertainment and attractions (77%), gratuities (75%), and open bar/bever- ages (73%) were other important amenities. One advisor said, “It would be nice for cruise lines to offer a variety of adult drink packages. For example, offer a 10-drink package instead of a 15-drink package per day.” Another advisor shared, IMPORTANT AMENITIES OF AN ALL-INCLUSIVE ON-BOARD CRUISE EXPERIENCE, SHARE (%) 36% 36% 37% 40% 47% 58% 63% 73% 75% 77% 85% 47% 46% 41% 47% 39% 37% 32% 22% 21% 20% 11% 15% 14% 19% 9% 12% 3% 3% 2% 2% 2% 1% Pre- or post-cruise hotel stays 24-hour room service Airfares Unlimited shore excursions Ground transfers Onboard activities Specialty dining Open bar/beverages Gratuities Onboard entertainment/attractions Wi-Fi Important Neutral Not important Unsure/Don’t know Most of my clients definitely want a more inclusive experience.
