  1. Before going on a 5 day cruise on Empress of the Seas a couple of weeks ago I kept trying to buy a beverage package at the %20 off price. They kept telling me the prices on the cruise planner were discounted and it would be more expensive on the ship. So I went ahead and pre purchased our package. When we got on the ship the package prices were the same as prior to the cruise prices. When we got home I sent an email explaining this and they gave me a refund of the %20. Thanks for your resolution in this matter Royal Caribbean.

  2. Just back from Alaska. We ate in Blu 6 of the 7 nights. Every night I ordered Caesar Salad, French Onion Soup and Escargot all of which are not on the Blu menu. Now when it comes to entrees you cannot order one from the MDR. Which worked out fine every night except the last night. There was just nothing on the Blu menu the wife wanted and she wanted Turkey dinner from the main dining room. When she asked the waiter he said he could not do it only the salads and appetizers. So she ordered something but didn't like it so when the waiter noticed she was not eating he returned with a Turkey dinner from the MDR.

  3. If you are both standing there you can order two drinks. More than likely they will only take 1 sea pass card to scan. Sometimes the bartender would take both of them and scan them If you go up to the bar by yourself take both sea pass cards and you can get two drinks. This is how it worked on the Star. We were never without a drink and never had to sign any slips.

  4. I always get the Ultimate. By Noon each day I have 2 Double Kahlua Coffee Liqueurs in my coffee. One Squeezed OJ. One bottle water. Two BBC.

    So that is like $70 by noon each day. No problem getting my money's worth on any day even port days.

     

    But on the other hand we are starting to book other Cruise lines who include the drink package. I have several Celebrity dates booked and a couple NCL's. On NCL they did just change it to you have to pay for the gratuities on any of your free perks. But still a good deal.

  5. That's not how it works if you cancel. If you cancel, they will refund the full price of the package, however they will charge you individually for all the drinks you have ordered.

     

    Sorry but just off the Freedom and had two friends cancel the package and they were refunded the unused days.

     

    And yes you can get liquor at the coffee bar in your coffee up until 9 am. I do it every cruise.
