lightsleeper Posted May 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Do they charge for the hot chocolate they serve on deck when on ship in Alaska? If so, does anyone know how much....Trying to decide on purchasing soft drink card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted May 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Nothing is free but lots of things are included in your fare. There is a hot chocolate dispenser outside the hamburger/hot dog grill where you can self serve your hot chocolate which is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, does anyone know how much....Trying to decide on purchasing soft drink card.Hot chocolate is not included with Unlimited Soda Package. $5.18/person/day, but is with the Unlimited Soda and More Package, $8.05/person/day. That being said, there was complementary hot chocolate available in the HC on the Golden and at least several other ships in Alaska last year. As far as I know this is only done in Alaska.

cubfan63 Posted May 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hot chocolate is included in the Ultimate package that also includes mocktails. It is $7 per day ($8.05 per day when gratuity is added). You can then get hot chocolate at the International Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickEk Posted May 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Both cruises that I've been on in Alaska included complimentary hot chocolate on scenic cruising days from carts that are being wheeled around the pool deck and the Promenade. They also offer adult hot drinks too (for a fee of course)! 'Twas nice sipping on an Irish Coffee whilst gazing at the Marjorie Glacier...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed all the booze bottles and thought it was all for a FEE ONLY. Oh well . . . live and learn. :) Off Topic: Before you die make sure you take an Alaskan cruise . . . simply INCREDIBLE ! !

Jasperdo Posted May 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2013 In this photo you can see the roaming cart that offers free hot chocolate. It's at the bottom of the photo, just to the left of the A-frame sign. The only day I remember seeing it was while we were scenic cruising through Glacier Bay National Park.

KreinKrunker Posted May 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Do they hand out pea soup, or is that only Holland America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Patches Posted May 20, 2013 #10 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hot chocolate has always been free in the MDR at breakfast on all Princess ships I have sailed on. They bring you a big pot of it and it is delicious. I got some nearly daily on the Golden in December. They used to have instant hot chocolate packets in the buffet at breakfast, but I haven't eaten breakfast in the buffet for so long I am not sure they do this any longer.

I think they disappeared about two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefBoats Posted May 21, 2013 #13 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hot chocolate can be found in th HC ( buffet) or you can purchase a coffee card and get in the lounge or IC where you get the speciality coffees.

Amy G Posted May 21, 2013 #16 Share Posted May 21, 2013 On our first Alaskan cruise in 2001 I remember the hot chocolate cart going around while we watched the beautiful scenery. Enjoyed quite "adult" hot chocolates as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
