Holland America’s Have It All package adds the Signature Beverage Package (up to 15 drinks a day, each up to $12), one to three specialty dinners, a Surf Wi-Fi plan and a shore excursion credit of $100 to $300 to your fare. For US bookings it costs $60 per person per day on sailings departing before summer 2027 and $65 per day after that. If you would normally buy a drink package anyway, the Holland America Have It All package almost always pays for itself. If you drink little and rarely go online, it usually doesn’t.

What the Holland America Have It All package includes
Have It All is a fare type, not something you add item by item. When you choose it at booking, the first and second guests in the stateroom both get the same four core perks. How much of each you get depends on how long the cruise is.
| Perk | 4 to 9 nights | 10 to 20 nights | 21+ nights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signature Beverage Package | 15 drinks/day, up to $12 each | 15 drinks/day, up to $12 each | 15 drinks/day, up to $12 each |
| Specialty dining | 1 night | 2 nights | 3 nights |
| Surf Wi-Fi | Whole cruise, 1 device | Whole cruise, 1 device | Whole cruise, 1 device |
| Shore excursion credit (per guest) | $100 | $200 | $300 |
Signature Beverage Package
The drinks part covers beer, wine by the glass, spirits and cocktails priced up to $12, plus specialty coffees, mocktails and sodas, up to 15 drinks a day in total. Bar service charges are included. If you order something pricier, you pay the difference. It doesn’t work at the mini-bar, in room service, in The Shops or on Half Moon Cay. You can only order one drink at a time and can’t share. Guests under 21 get soft drinks only.
Specialty dining
Your dinners can be used at Pinnacle Grill, Canaletto, Rudi’s Sel de Mer or Tamarind, depending on which venues your ship has. Special events such as Morimoto by Sea menus and the Cellar Master Dinner are not covered.
Surf Wi-Fi
Surf is the basic plan. It’s fine for email, messaging, social media and browsing, but it’s for one device at a time and streaming or video calls may be blocked or slowed. If you need to stream or work remotely, plan to upgrade to Premium on board, either for one day or for the rest of the cruise.
Shore excursion credit
The credit applies per guest and only to excursions booked through Holland America for that cruise. It can’t be used for airport transfers or shuttles, and any unused amount is lost. On Alaska cruisetours the credit is $100 and must be used before the cruise part begins.
How much does Have It All cost?
The published US price is a flat daily rate per person:
- $60 per person per day for cruises departing before summer 2027
- $65 per person per day for summer 2027 departures and later
That price covers guests one and two. A third or fourth guest pays the standard fare and buys extras separately. Have It All isn’t offered on Grand Voyages, and very short cruises are left out too. Holland America’s terms currently say three days or less, though some third-party guides say five. Check the fare list for your sailing.
| Cruise length | Cost per person at $60/day | Cost per person at $65/day | Cost for two at $65/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 nights | $420 | $455 | $910 |
| 10 nights | $600 | $650 | $1,300 |
| 14 nights | $840 | $910 | $1,820 |
| 21 nights | $1,260 | $1,365 | $2,730 |
One tip: compare the actual Have It All fare with the standard fare for the same cabin, rather than trusting the per-day figure. During sales the gap is sometimes smaller than the headline rate, and sometimes bigger.
Have It All vs buying separately: a break-even example
The question most people are really asking is whether Holland America’s Have It All is worth it compared with paying for things one by one. Here’s a 7-night Caribbean or Alaska cruise for one person, using approximate 2026 onboard prices. Prices change, so treat these as rough figures.
| Item (7 nights, per person) | Approx. separate cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Signature Beverage Package | about $512 | Roughly $61/day plus the 20% service charge (about $73/day) |
| Surf Wi-Fi, full cruise | about $140 to $210 | Roughly $20 to $30/day, depending on promotions |
| One specialty dinner | about $50 to $70 | Depends on venue and what you order |
| Shore excursions | $100 | Only counts if you’d book a HAL tour anyway |
| Total | about $800 to $890 | Have It All: $420 to $455 |
On paper, Have It All saves a lot. But the important detail is that the drink package does most of the work. Buying the Signature package on its own for seven days costs more than the whole Have It All add-on. So the real test is simple:
- Would you buy a drink package anyway? If yes, Have It All is close to a no-brainer, because the dining, Wi-Fi and excursion credit come at little or no extra cost.
- If not, how many drinks would you pay for? At $65 a day, about five or six $12 drinks (with service charge added, closer to five) cover the daily cost before you count anything else. Two glasses of wine at dinner, a pre-dinner cocktail and a couple of lattes gets most people there.
- Will you really use the extras? If you hate organised tours, rarely go online and are happy in the main dining room, take those values off the table and compare drinks alone.
For couples there’s one more rule: if one adult in a stateroom buys an alcoholic drink package on its own, the other adult must normally buy it too. Have It All covers both guests, so it avoids awkward cases where one of you drinks much less. If you’d rather keep drinking costs down without a package, our guide to cruise drink package loopholes that still work in 2026 covers your options.
Gratuities: are they included?
This catches people out. For US bookings, the standard Holland America Have It All package does not list crew appreciation, so the daily service charge still applies. From June 2026, Holland America raised it to $18 per person per day in standard staterooms and $20 in suites. On a 7-night cruise that’s $126 per person in a standard cabin. The service charge on bar and restaurant bills also went up from 18% to 20%. That makes buying drinks one by one more expensive and slightly improves the value of a package.
There are two exceptions. The Have It All Early Booking Bonus (see below) adds prepaid crew appreciation. UK-market Have It All fares include prepaid gratuities for the stateroom steward only. If you’re deciding whether to prepay tips or leave them on your onboard account, our explainer on whether you should prepay cruise gratuities walks through the pros and cons.
Have It All Early Booking Bonus and other 2025 to 2026 changes
Holland America has kept the Have It All name but adjusted the package several times. The changes worth knowing about as of November 2026:
- Price rise to $65. Departures from summer 2027 onward cost $65 per person per day, up from $60.
- Shorter cruises now qualify for the first tier. The $100 credit and one dinner tier covered 6 to 9 day cruises for summer 2026. From fall 2026 onward it’s 4 to 9 days.
- Early Booking Bonus (offer code HIAEBBPKG). On select sailings that are newly opened for sale, booking Have It All early upgrades three things. You get the Elite Beverage Package (drinks up to $16, including premium spirits and bottled water), Premium Wi-Fi that allows streaming, and prepaid crew appreciation. It also comes with a fare guarantee if the price drops before final payment.
- Higher gratuities and service charges from June 2026, as covered above.
If you can commit early, the Early Booking Bonus is the best version of Have It All by some distance. Prepaid crew appreciation alone is worth $126 or more per person on a week-long cruise. Premium Wi-Fi solves the biggest complaint about the basic package.
Have It All vs standard fare: who should book which
Have It All is usually worth it if you
- Enjoy three or more alcoholic drinks a day, or several specialty coffees plus wine with dinner
- Plan to book at least one Holland America shore excursion per guest
- Want to stay online for messaging and email throughout the cruise
- Prefer to know most of your onboard spending before you sail
- Are booking a 10+ night cruise, where the extra dinner and higher excursion credit add up
The standard fare is usually better if you
- Drink little or no alcohol. A non-alcoholic package like Quench, at about $18 a day plus service charge, is much cheaper.
- Prefer exploring ports on your own or with independent tour companies
- Have loyalty perks, a casino offer or onboard credit that already covers drinks
- Are travelling as a third or fourth guest, who isn’t covered by the package

Tips for getting the most from Have It All
- Book specialty dinners early. Reserve as soon as the planner opens, especially on short cruises where you only get one night.
- Use your excursion credit on a pricier tour. The credit can’t be refunded, so put it toward a tour that costs more than the credit, not a cheap one that leaves money unused.
- Know the $12 cap. Most house wines, beers and classic cocktails fall under it. Premium pours and some wines won’t, and you’ll pay the difference.
- Remember Half Moon Cay. Drinks on Holland America’s private island (now being renamed RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay) aren’t covered, so budget for them.
- Already booked a standard fare? Holland America lets some guests upgrade to Have It All after booking. Ask your travel advisor or check the cruise planner before final payment, as it’s usually cheaper than buying the items on board. Buying Have It All on board has been reported at around $70 a day.
If you are booking a Neptune or Pinnacle Suite, check our guide to Holland America suite perks first, as drinks and specialty dining are not part of the suite package.
