Holland America Have It All Plus Explained

What Is Have It All Plus?

Have It All Plus is Holland America's upgraded package option that builds upon the standard Have It All package with additional premium benefits. It is designed for travelers who want a more inclusive cruise experience and expect to use upgraded onboard amenities throughout their voyage.

Like the standard package, Have It All Plus bundles several common cruise purchases into one package. The difference is that Have It All Plus generally includes enhanced benefits that may appeal to guests seeking a more premium experience.

What Is Included With Have It All Plus?

Have It All Plus includes the core benefits found in the standard Have It All package while adding upgraded features depending on the sailing and promotion.

Benefits generally build upon the beverage package, WiFi package, specialty dining credits, and shore excursion credits already included with Have It All.

Because package offerings can change over time, travelers should always verify the exact benefits attached to their specific sailing before booking.

Enhanced Beverage Benefits

One of the primary differences between Have It All and Have It All Plus is the upgraded beverage offering.

Travelers who regularly enjoy premium wines, cocktails, specialty beverages, or upgraded drink selections may find additional value in the Plus package.

For guests who primarily consume basic beverages, the upgrade may provide less value.

Upgraded WiFi Benefits

Internet access remains one of the most important cruise purchases for many travelers.

Depending on the specific promotion, Have It All Plus may include enhanced internet benefits beyond the standard package.

Travelers who expect to remain connected throughout the cruise should compare the included internet benefits carefully.

See our Cruise Ship WiFi vs Cell Service Guide for additional information.

Specialty Dining Benefits

Specialty dining remains one of the strongest components of Holland America's package offerings.

Guests who enjoy premium dining experiences may appreciate the enhanced dining benefits available through Have It All Plus.

Longer sailings often provide more opportunities to take advantage of specialty restaurant access and dining credits.

Shore Excursion Benefits

Shore excursion credits can become increasingly valuable on destination-focused itineraries.

Travelers sailing Alaska, Europe, the Panama Canal, or longer voyages often spend significantly more on excursions than guests taking shorter Caribbean cruises.

This is one reason many experienced Holland America guests pay close attention to package benefits before booking.

Travelers considering longer itineraries may also find our Panama Canal Cruise Guide and World Cruise Guide helpful.

Have It All Plus vs Have It All

This is the most common question travelers ask.

The standard Have It All package already provides strong value for many guests. The decision to upgrade typically depends on whether the additional Plus benefits match your actual onboard habits.

For some travelers, the upgraded benefits justify the additional cost. For others, the standard package provides nearly everything they need.

Before deciding, review our complete Have It All Guide.

Is Have It All Plus Worth It?

The answer depends on how you cruise.

Guests who regularly purchase premium beverages, value upgraded internet access, enjoy specialty dining, and take cruise-line excursions often receive the most value from Have It All Plus.

Travelers who rarely use upgraded amenities may find that the standard Have It All package provides a better overall return on investment.

Like most cruise packages, value is determined by actual usage rather than advertised benefits.

Who Should Buy Have It All Plus?

• Travelers seeking a more premium cruise experience.
• Guests who regularly purchase upgraded beverages.
• Cruisers who value internet connectivity.
• Travelers who enjoy specialty dining.
• Guests taking longer or destination-focused cruises.

Who Should Skip Have It All Plus?

• Guests who rarely purchase premium beverages.
• Travelers who use minimal internet.
• Cruisers focused primarily on keeping costs low.
• Guests who would not use the upgraded benefits.

These travelers may find the standard Have It All package more appropriate.

Common Mistakes

The most common mistake is assuming that the upgraded package automatically represents better value.

A package only provides value if you actually use the included benefits.

Another mistake is comparing package prices without evaluating what would otherwise be purchased separately during the cruise.
