YES, there are some high end cruise lines like Silver Seas and Crystal that include wine, champaign and other spirits in their cruise price. BUT, these high end cruises cost about double what you will pay if you go on the cruise lines that most of us generally go on, like Carnival, Celebrity, Princess, Norwegian or Royal Caribbean. The fares on the high end cruise lines will be on the order of $4,000. to $5000 per person for a 7 to 9 day cruise. On the other hand a 7 to 9 day cruise on the other lines I listed above will start in the range of $800 to $1,000. per person. So unless you are going to drink like a fish all week, its not worth the extra money just to get free booze. So all five of you could go on lets say a Norwegian cruise to Bermuda for what it would cost for one on a Crystal cruise.

The cruise line for young people in their 20's to 30's and the party boat that most first time cruisers go on is Carnival. Its the party cruise line and it lives up to that reputation, I am told. You will likely get a lower fare on Carnival since it is the budget cruise line. But you will have a just as good a time on a cruise to the Caribbean on any of the other ships I have mentioned. If you want a good cruise and also very informal cruising go on the Norwegian cruise line because they have the "freestyle" cruising which allows for casual dressing in the evenings for dinner.

One other thing that may help reduce your drinks tab. All of the cruise lines prohibit you bringing alcohol on board and they will confiscate it. But with Princess, RC, Celebrity and Carnival each passenger over the age of 21 can bring one bottle of wine or champaign on board in the carryon bag or in packed luggage. BUT, you must consume this in your cabin. On Princess you can order from the pre-cruise gift menu alcoholic beverages for your cabin. You can order just wine and champaign for your cabin from the pre-cruise gift menu on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean.

Caribbean would be the best choice for you guys, try Carnival cruises or Royal Caribbean Cruises, they great, find the best prices on http://mytravelmaster.net Carnival it's great, Royal even more

Yes, there are cruises that offer all inclusive, but they are very expensive.
You would be better off going to an All Inclusive Resort.

Only the luxury lines (Seabourn, Crystal, Silversea, Regent ...) include alcoholic drinks in the price of the cruise. If you are in your 20s, then most likely you will be younger than the children of most of the people on one of these ships. Also, the luxury lines are expensive.

i would recommend either a cruise from carnival or all inclusive resort in a location in mexico
when i went on spring break a few years back we went to cancun and stayed at the oasiss, though food is included it is repetitive and even though drinks are free you want to leave the resort and actually go out. bout time we paid for airfare,a week stay, and all the extras (taxi going out and paying for admission to clubs and excusions) i think we spent a total of 1,300 per person average so if u break it down a cruise is actually cheaper.
carnival does allow wine on board and they even allowed us to bring a bottle of malibu rum(i said it was wine,obviosly they dont know the differnce) and they also have it online where u can purchase bar coupons.. 4 drinks for twenty bucks.. also at the fomal night party alcohol is free and so is champaign at art auctions.food is not repetitive unless you want it to be and you dont pay to go into the clubs.. when i was just out of college we only spent about 800 dollars total per person for a 5 day carribean cruise flight and spending money.. and trust me i was a heavy drinker a few years ago

I don't know about cruises, but if you don't have any luck finding what you are looking for, I would highly recommend going to an all inclusive resort, I have been to several and it is a helluva good time. I have heard that cruises are cool but a lot of them are geared toward an older crowd, plus I have heard people gripe about always having to be somewhere at a certain time. If it was me I would go to a resort and lay around on the beach all day and not have to worry about it. Also most of the resorts have dinner cruises that you can do.

all inclusive destinations are separate from cruises usually (unless you go luxury which is extremely expensive) i know
as far as vacations (all inclusive) =Sandals is one company.
princess is a great cruise line as well
and you might enjoy carnival cruiselines (as it is geared toward YOUNG, energetic people who love to party.

YES -- some cruise lines DO include alcoholic beverages....

With a cruise you can expect superb accommodation, facilities and food and drink that are offered to cruise guests. If you enjoy an alcoholic beverage your pre-paid cruise quite often will also include alcohol, but more than likely only on the big name cruise ships. As with all complete cruise packages you are advised to always check exactly what is included with each and every package before you book, however. Some of the cruise companies will ask you to pay for alcoholic drinks, while all others are free. If you do have alcohol included in your complete cruise package remember to drink responsibly. There is nothing worse than a drunken fool on your cruise.

Try Carnival...they're usually best for younger crowds, and they're usually cheaper. They're called "The Fun Ship". For a younger crowd.
