tudsabz Posted June 15, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi, returned yesterday from I. E. Cider isn't included. Lager, lots of cocktails and local spirits - gin, rum etc are included. Will have a look tomorrow to see if i still have the list. Sure you will find something on there you like. Have a lovely time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get Cider in the package?? And someone told me you only get the cocktail of the day and none of the other cocktails Anyone who is just back able to tell me ?? Thanks x Hi returned 31st May. :D As has been said Cider is not included. House brands of Whisky, Rum, Gin, Vodka & white Tequila are included. Also Napoleon Brandy, Boddingtons, Lager, Cola, Sprite, Orange Soda (all by the glass), all unfrozen non Alcoholic Cocktail. Then Cocktails of the day listed in Island Chat & Cocktails listed as "All time favourites" & "Tropical Toasts" as listed in onboard bar menu, Red, Rose & White house wine by the glass & Port Wine. Water, fruit juices, kids drinks & mixers also included by the glass. Hope this helps. We really enjoyed our 2 week cruise & would be glad to answer any questions you have if I can. Will write a report later. Hope you have a great time. Mo. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie8421 Posted June 19, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks guys, was starting to think having the drinks package was a waste but now i'm happy! i'll just drink cocktails. Another stupid question but do you know if they had lime cordial behind the bar?? I also drink vodka, lemonade and lime so would be good if they had it. If not do you think they will moan if i take lime cordial on board? Thanks again xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenny wren Posted July 18, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 18, 2011 We found the House wine was quite drinkable....I had cocktail of the day most evenings....John had Captain Morgan's rum and coke and had to pay a supplement of 20p so even the branded shorts could be quite cheap....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandlassie Posted July 18, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2011 There was a guy on my cruise who paid £199.00 for the AI - all he drunk was cider - he was pi:mad::mad:ed off that after 2 days to get a bill - he complained and got the bill written off, and didn't have to pay for cider for the rest of his trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted July 18, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi HL, whenever I snuck a pint of cider in when her indoors was sunbathing the bar staff always told me that I had to pay for this :mad: as it was on the premium list? ********s so I stuck to Boddingtons (yuck) then Stella then Sam Migual on draught then cocktails then cocktails then wine..oeerrrrrr I did drink a lot :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandlassie Posted July 18, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 18, 2011 you should have got Dino to serve you - he always put cider under lager so we got a few freebies:eek: then he tried to overcharge us - so i told him not to serve me again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted July 19, 2011 #12 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Last year I gave Dino a tip, not this year though. I think he has gone up a rank on the bar managers list :eek: also every time we saw him he was mostly in the sportsbar. Sasucca or was it Sassua (sp) was the main man this year in the "pub" he was very very good and a dab hand at card tricks..where he kept everyone amused in the afternoon in the afternoons, we have know him for 4 years now.

I am SOOOOO excited!!

As long as I can have my cocktail of the day I'll be happy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipshape.com Posted April 29, 2012 #16 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi there, just book Island Escape and was wondering if anyone can tell me if they have a wine package? We've been on Thomson cruises before and last year on the Destiny they were offering various different wine packages onboard, like buy 5 bottles and get one free. Thanks for any info.

I have no experience of any other ships and would have cancelled our first cruise had it not been for the comments on here, one of which of course was RR! Thank goodness I stuck with it. I had no regrets. Maybe somehow see you on board!! :D Mo. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems weird, even though they keep them separate you'd think they'd use the same supplier for drinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengef Posted May 3, 2012 #24 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Mo , what did you say your daughters name was. Danni says if she manages to see you she will defiantly say hi to her. RR. Won't be too long before its your turn to wind everyone else up, let's just hope we get as good as weather as they are having at the moment. Danni keeps sending me pics of her in the sun or telling me it's hottttt!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
