jcoco Posted January 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I heard that the adult drinking package was being offered and i'm trying to figure out if its worth it. The only way i can figure it out is if I knew some of the prices of the drinks. So can anyone tell me about how much are the beers, how much are the mixed drinks like lets say a rum and coke or a cosmoplitan and how much is the drink special of the day or those frozen drinks. oh and how much is a regular coke or diet coke? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessa1dc Posted January 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2005 If I can remember correctly. The drinks of the day ran about $5.75. Beers ($3.50), Coke's ($1.75). These are truly guesstimates. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love4trvl Posted January 6, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2005 The drinks of the day on Explorer were 3.95. Also there were different happy hour specials at each of the bars from 5-8:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfanatic Posted January 6, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2005 domestic beer is $3.00. Many mixed frozen drinks are $4.75. A whiskey sour is $4.25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted January 7, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2005 It depends on the bartender, bar and what size glass you get. DH drinks Myers Rum and Coke. He paid anywhere between $3.95 and $5.95 before the gratuity was added. I'm guessing here, but the $3.95 was probably about 8 oz and the $5.95 was 16 oz size.

lovetovak Posted January 7, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2005 How much is the drink plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipknotshore Posted January 7, 2005 #7 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Just an example from our November cruise on the Monarch: Absolut Martini - $8.00 add tax & gratuity = $9.86 Drink of the Day - $5.95 add gratuity = $6.84 Drink in a Souv. (take home) glass = $10.30 I went back to our receipts (If I could find them) or our seapass acct. final bill. I guess if you are still in port they charge tax - some receipts had it, others didn't.....so I looked at the time of the charge and the only difference would be in port or out to sea. I think somewhere in a thread some time back I read that tax was charged while in port....not sure. By the time you add tax & tip these drinks can get a bit pricy.....especially the martini. I don't let price make up my mind all the time - VACATION IS VACATION - within reason..... I'm curious - just what is the "adult drinking package" ??? A couple of years ago they sold a "Drink Card" - but that was discontinued. As of November 2003 they hadn't brought it back.... much to my disappointment.

shipknotshore Posted January 7, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Just4kixx - thanks for the reference to the thread. I would be very interested in this program. Although I'd certainly be able to use up my $50/day without any problems considering I love mochas, bottled water, etc. in addition to the drinks, I might (and it's just a "might") have a problem meeting that $50. on port days. I'd be willing to risk it tho. :D Almost makes it a challenge - huh? We're going on the NOS for a 7 night on 4/30 and hope it's available then.
