Then again, drinks can be pricey, so $1k for drinks would be awesome too!!
Though if you plan any excursions through the cruise line, you could probably use up that $1k pretty quick.

Our deposit was nonrefundable - we would have lost $750 if we had cancelled even one day after booking last fall. That was the gamble we took for the chance of price drops. I booked before the issue with Carnival Triumph.
It's technically nonrefundable credit. But I've heard they've been refunding people that don't use it. Even if they don't, there are tricks to get it in cash (basically, charge money to your onboard account at a casino slot machine, play one spin, then cash out).

I thought about the drink package Carnival now offers, but that's $57 per day per person, and wife and I would both have to purchase it if one of us wanted it. Couldn't make the numbers work, though it would have been nice to know exactly how much we would spend on booze - we would still have had more credit left over. I could drink enough to make it worthwhile for me, but my wife won't.
