Royal Replenish pkg / non-alcoholic drinks

I'm sailing on the Allure of the Seas in a few weeks and went ahead and purchase the Replenish package.

Couple of questions for those of you that used this package recently:

1) Are the non-alcoholic cocktails still included? (Info on the website seems a little bit inconsistent on this)

2) What's your favorite non-alcoholic cocktail to get? What's good onboard?

3) Are bar gratuities included in the Replenish package, or should I expect to tip separately from the package?

Thanks in advance!

I can't be sure about number 1 (though, yikes, for the price of that package I sure hope they are--I cannot imagine getting it otherwise).

My favourite to order is the non alcoholic mudslide--which is basically a chocolate milk shake--I get one for dessert every day after lunch.

yes, gratuities are included in the package----if I find a bartender who makes good non alcoholic drinks more to my liking; I tend to frequent them and give them an extra tip for their efforts (not as sweet as most of the standards--yes I know I just said I like the mudslide, but as dessert, for normal drinks so many of the recipes just take out the alcohol and leave you with syrupy sweet stuff)

As of last October I was able to get Virgin Frozen Mojitos on the replenish package. Tips were included, though like the previous poster I did tip one particular bar team extra cos they were great. Unlike many Americans, I didn't tip in advance or as I went along, but prepared an envelope for each of them at the end.

Does anyone know the current price for the non-alcohol drinks if you do not purchase the replenish package? I have purchased it the last two cruises but I am debating because the next cruise is very port intensive.

Thanks

Another Royal Replenish question, Does it include the bottled water and canned soda in the cabin mini-fridge?

No. The soda is all from either a gun at a bar or a freestyle machine if your ship has one. The water included is not the same brand as that in the mini bar.

I usually pick up bottles of water at a bar and keep one or two in the minibar in case I want one at night.

Around $5 plus tip.

Is this only available to purchase pre cruise or on the first day? Would you be able to get it on the 2nd day?

You can purchase a package as long as there are at least 4 days left in the cruise.

What's your favorite non-alcoholic cocktail to get? What's good onboard?

On a side note, the RR package includes "freshly squeezed orange juice" but its availability can vary greatly depending on the ship.

On the Voyager you could get it any time at the Windjammer bar, but on the Radiance they would only use the machine in the mornings. Bit of a disappointment, especially if you're booked in a suite and don't have breakfast at the Windjammer and would like a glass of OJ later on in the day...

Was this available at most bars or specific ones?

It should have been available in the MDR at breakfast too.

Awesome responses! Muchas gracias to everyone!

Sparky74: special thanks to you for that huge list of mocktails! I suppose even if I only have one of each of those I'll need to sign up for NAA (non-alcoholics anonymous) at the end of the week!

Does anyone know the current price of rum from the mini bar & also from the bars on the Oasis? Thinking of Royal Replenish & adding some mini bar rum occasionally.

There is no alcohol in the mini-bar. Also, no mini-bar contents are covered by any packages.

Thanks for the list! Got some great ideas there.

Around $5 plus tip.

Thank you.

That's going to make two of us!

Alcohol is one of my main migraine triggers, but I still wanr to LOOK like I'm being part of the party, so that great list of "mocktails" is sure going to come in handy for me!

Does anyone know the current price for the non-alcohol drinks if you do not purchase the replenish package? I have purchased it the last two cruises but I am debating because the next cruise is very port intensive.

I got the RR as well, because, yes, frozen n/a drinks included (I'm addicted to n/a pina coladas):

PER RC:

Save on our entire stock of non-alcoholic beverages. The Royal Replenish Package lets you pay one set price* to enjoy a wide variety of beverages.

This all-inclusive package includes our full selection of premium coffee, premium tea, and bottled water, including sparkling and still.

But that's not all. You can also choose fresh squeezed orange juice, non-alcoholic cocktails, and any fountain soda, which includes a Coca Cola® souvenir cup. Bottoms up!

Can you direct me to that text on their website? All I can find is the updated brochure-and it does not mention n/a frozen beverages. There is another thread that makes me think that they discontinued these as being a part of this package. I want to print it so I can call and confirm for my cruise on 2/19.

Agreed! Love the list and all of the ideas! Too bad September is so far away.

This is what is says in the description on the website: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/experiencetypes/category.do?pagename=onboard_cat_dining_options

"Royal Replenish Pay one set price and enjoy our entire selection of premium coffee, premium tea, bottled water: sparkling or still, fresh squeezed orange juice, non-alcoholic cocktails, plus fountain soda with Coca Cola® souvenir cup."

However, when you click the link that says Learn More and it takes you to the brochure, it does not mention non-alcoholic cocktails. Confusing! http://media.royalcaribbean.com/content/shared_assets/pdf/menus/beverage_packages.pdf

Thanks!

Any idea if these are available on select drink package? It includes non alcoholic cocktails but not sure where to find them on the bar list - I fancy enjoying them in the day
