Born 2 Cruz

Hello,

The Signature Beverage Package is included for first and second passengers only. The third passenger will not be required to purchase an additional Signature Beverage Package. Ideally it's a good idea to have the "drinkers" listed as the first and second passengers, so that the Beverage Package will automatically be on your cruise card. However, it's not a big deal if the non-drinker is listed as first or second and you want them to be the third passenger on the booking......just go to Guest Services while onboard and they will change the package over to person you want it assigned to. (Hope that makes sense.)

Also the Signature Beverage Package is good for any drink $8.00 or less, alcoholic and non-alcoholic (bottled water, juices, smoothies etc.) so if the third person wants a non-alcoholic drink make sure that one of the other two is available to order drink for the third person. You can only order one drink at a time per card. I believe you can order another after 10 minutes has elapsed.

If you've registered the same credit card for all three of your shipboard accounts, then the onboard credit will automatically be deducted off the total on your account in which case it is shared. However, if you've all set up your own shipboard accounts with your individual credit cards, then the onboard credit will only be applied to the first and second passengers.

Also, expect to be charged the hotel service charge (daily gratuity) for the third passenger as the Explore 4 only covers prepaid gratuities for first and second passenger.

I hope I have helped.

Thanks for the advice. I will bring my travel mug.

Never thought to pre-heat the mug, but that makes a lot of sense.

Our pillow chocolates never make it home either, unless they are dark chocolate. My daughter gobbles them up right away as an after dinner treat!

And good thinking about balancing a pastry on top of the lid. Perhaps I can just put the pastry on the same plate from the buffet with those little sugar covered donuts.......so addictive!

Hi Everyone,

Will be going on NA in Alaska first week of July! Can anyone tell me if the Explorations Café will make a coffee/latte directly in your (clean) travel mug? Or do they put it in a regular cup and you have to pour it into your mug?

I would like to keep my coffee hot for an extended period while I'm enjoying the scenery on our balcony. However, I wonder if it's worth carrying my travel coffee mug in the first place.

Thanks for your thoughts.
