Rare chrismch Posted October 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yes, I understand any alcoholic drinks are an extra charge except for the one Captain's night. What beverages are included at meals whether in the specialty restaurants or at the terrace grill? Are specialty coffees complimentary or an extra charge at the Barista?

Floridiana Posted October 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) ALL non-alcoholic beverages are always complimentary. Edited October 31, 2014 by Floridiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercafe Posted October 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2014 All drinks both hot and cold in all venues and restaurants at all times are included except those with alcohol in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toranut97 Posted October 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 31, 2014 As to what is in your room, you can request your favorite brand and it will be stocked for you. I always request diet tonic water --- since it is not typically available, I ask my travel agent to request it from O well ahead of time. On boarding it is always waiting for us!

RetiredFL Posted October 31, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2014 We second the advice. If available (and it is amazing what they can get) any soft drink/water will be in your fridge on boarding if you request it through your travel agent well in advance. Let him/her know as soon as possible as they may ship it from the US! You can also request your room steward remove what you don't want from the fridge to make more room for your selections.

Rare LHT28 Posted October 31, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Usually cocoa cola brands They use several suppliers for bottled water You get 2 large bottles in the cabin Replaced as required small bottles are at the gangway for going ashore Edited October 31, 2014 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toranut97 Posted October 31, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 31, 2014 But note that your requests (pre-cruise) are not restricted to Coke brands. But you need to request ahead. The tonic, for instance, was Schweppes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnip eater Posted October 31, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Oooooh Schwepps my favourite... Especially with a Tanqueray No 10 or a Tanqueray Rangpur:D Edited October 31, 2014 by turnip eater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnip eater Posted October 31, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I've been served Canada Dry( Dr Pepper's brand) in the bar as Schwepps wasn't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 31, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Not being argumentative, Lyn. I have heard of folks insisting on and getting Pepsi or Dr Pepper.

Rare vlthom Posted October 31, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Be aware that they don't always supply anything/everything that is requested. We asked for ginger beer prior to our south pacific cruise. We made the request months in advance through our TA. They wanted to charge us $5 per bottle to which we politely declined.

Rare LHT28 Posted October 31, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 31, 2014 So I guess the moral of the story is if you want a specific soda ...ask in advance ;) I have looked & Canada Dry is/was owned by Snapple Our Schweppes tonic in the fridge says from Canada Dry I rarely drink sodas so I do not really care I will drink any of them as long as it is not diet with aspartame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vlthom Posted November 1, 2014 #22 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Did you specifically ask for non-alchohlic?? Jancruz1 Yes, we did. We were told that the fee was because of the difficulty that the distributor would have in supplying our request. We did find that many soft drinks were in short supply on that cruise. Fro instance, coke zero ran out about halfway through....as did ginger ale. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
