Stevie44875 Posted August 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I'm thinking about taking a cruise with HAL in January and have only cruised with Royal. I'm wondering how HAL does their drinks. What do they consider as free beverages? Royal does water, lemonade, and tea. Does HAL have the same? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee and iced tea as well. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted August 8, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2010 and let's not forget the free ice cream. Well, I guess it's not a beverage unless it melts.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted August 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2010 We've always had a choice of fruit juices, via a dispensing station, which included guava, lemonade, and a mixed fruit drink that tasted alot like Hawaiian Punch. Iced tea also. This was available all day and until at least midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveDiving Posted August 8, 2010 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hi Stevie44875, In my experience the following drinks are offered gratis. Coffee and decaf, Hot & iced tea and decaf, Fresh OJ in the morning, Various fruit juices, Cappuchino and decaf in the MDR Latte in the MDR Milk, various kinds, Chocolate milk Cocoa I often put a pack of powdered cocoa in a mug, fill it with decaf coffee and top it with some cream. This probably has some fancy name. It tastes great and is gratis. Scott & Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflower877 Posted August 9, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We sailed on the Statendam last week. At breakfast several different juices were served. But for lunch and dinner, only water and iced tea were available for free. We definitely missed the lemonade as we don't drink tea or coffee. Hot chocolate packets were also available, and we did indulge in those occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excaluber Posted August 9, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 9, 2010 To tack on, and go the opposite way. I was wondering, what does HAL charge for a beer on average? Or say a gin & tonic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted August 9, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 9, 2010 For the sake of completeness, what about water. I assume tap water is readily available but what about bottled water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade13 Posted August 10, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Don't forget that you can bring onboard an unlimited amount of soda, bottled water and wines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjs9738 Posted August 10, 2010 #14 Share Posted August 10, 2010 To tack on, and go the opposite way. I was wondering, what does HAL charge for a beer on average? Or say a gin & tonic? Just got off the Nieuw Amsterdam, and if my memory serves me it was about $5.50 for a premium beer and about the same for a G&T. I think they tacked on another .50 for a call drink. Those prices included the 15% gratuity that they automatically tack on. They had some deals with beer buckets that I think was buy 5, get 6. And a few happy hours each evening with 2-for-1 drinks. A can of soda was 2.24 after the service charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
