Cost of beverages?

[POA1]

How/when do you buy a soda card?

Either online from Holland America's website or from any bar on the ship.

So could someone confirm that during Happy Hour, 1 Beer @$4.95 could become 2 x Beers for $5.95 plus 15% service charge please?

 

 

Yes, that is how it works

I mentioned this happy hour deal to dh. He asked if they serve both beers or mixed drinks,glasses of wine at once so you are sitting there with two drinks in front of you, which we dislike. We never drink the same, so splitting the two between us won't work.

 

And if he could take one out of the bar to drink on deck or somewhere else?

Yes. You get two of the same thing at the same time. If you drink beer, you can leave one unopened and your waiter will give you ice. If you drink a simple mixed drink, you can get a double. If you drink wine or a more complex "fancy" cocktail, it's more complicated.

 

You can definitely leave the bar with your drink.

What happens on port days? Withdrawal??:eek:

I remember drinking a lot more 20 years ago, especially on hot weather resort vacations and cruises. But this dude...wow!

Be careful on those outside decks, jaguarstyper!

 

We all have our quirks, don't we. I can assure you I enjoy my cruises. I work hard when I'm not on vacation and I play hard when I am on vacation. And, I remember it all.
