Host Jazzbeau -. I realize now that the "shuttles suspended" info is in a red note on my booking confirmation document. I made a payment a couple of days ago and got a new one... it's still there. Just sayin'.

Booked through a TA. Mine showed up on the first document she sent me, showing my deposit.

Thanks, all. Very helpful!

First - Can anyone post a picture or list of the included spirits, beers, etc? Second - If there are just one white and one red wine being offered on a given day and they are not to your liking, can you get one of the other included wines instead?

Thank you for the info!

Thanks for the info.

Appreciate the response, but not quite the answer to my question. If you DON'T have a package and you order a cocktail with an included main spirit, but also a component, like a liqueur, that's not on the included list, would they charge, and, if so, how would they charge?

I understand that you can order a standard well drink, like a G&T, using the included spirits. What about a "basic" cocktail that includes a small amount of a liqueur, for example the limoncello in a lemon drop? Would this be available at no charge, or a small upcharge, or a full cocktail price? Secondly what additional cocktails are available with the packages? Are specialty cocktails discounted with the basic upgrade package and free with the Ultimate or what?

Clearly the use of "free" vs "included" is a marketing choice. The one that irks me more is the touting of "Two-for-one" fares as some kind of special discount.

Several years ago were on a Tauck river cruise, which are all-inclusive. Over cocktails one evening with some new friends, one of the ladies commented, "I really like that the drinks are free.". Her husband looked at her and dryly remarked, " They're not free; they're pre-paid. " 😁 Pretty much sums it up.
