dpostman Posted December 15, 2014 #26 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) I seem to recall that some wines are available in 2 different glass sizes. I think a 5oz and a 2oz. If the 5 oz is over $12 but the 2oz in under $12, does anyone know if the 2oz would be covered? EDIT: Oh... and to answer the poll: I've per-purchased the UP but have yet to prove the worthiness. (we sail in April) But barring any last minute health issues, we intend to make it worthwhile. dp Edited December 15, 2014 by dpostman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C2174 Posted December 15, 2014 #30 Share Posted December 15, 2014 We have had it on two 7day cruises. Worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandprix Posted December 15, 2014 #31 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Had the basic beer/wine package. Strictly beer for me. Well worth it. Huge selection of beers from all over the globe. My dad smuggled a case of beer on with no trouble in checked baggage. Made his whole week. My mom had the basic beer/wine package too. Not a big drinker but never was hassled when she gave it to my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLW0520 Posted December 16, 2014 #32 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I can't remember the last time I was served a 5oz glass of wine anywhere! Most places serve a 6oz or a choice of 6oz or 9oz. I have never heard of a 2oz glass of wine. Do you have to finish the whole glass before they will bring you another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1oz and 2oz glasses of wine are available at Vintages as part of a custom wine flight. I've not seen them elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato92 Posted December 16, 2014 #34 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Absolutely worth. The chance to try different drinks is great. ....Don't like it...try a different one. Mimosa in the morning....yum. As above, won't travel without one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieguitowpg Posted December 16, 2014 #37 Share Posted December 16, 2014 This is an odd question, but we are a party of 2, do both of us need to get the package or can just one of us get it? My wife doesn't drink much and in our last cruise we rack up a bit. For example can you order 2 drinks at a same time with one package?

However, drinks from the package cannot be shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieguitowpg Posted December 16, 2014 #39 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hi Clare, Thanks for clarifying but in technicality you could order a drink and then walk to a second bar and order another one no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted December 16, 2014 #40 Share Posted December 16, 2014 And you can only order 1 drink at a time, from one package. And they "can" make you wait 15 mins between drinks, although that seems to be hit or miss depending on the bartender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#bbfam Posted December 16, 2014 #41 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Maybe buy Ultimate for you and just Refreshment for your wife, and pay per drink for her alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#bbfam Posted December 16, 2014 #42 Share Posted December 16, 2014 If your wife drinks bevs from your package, you will lose it. No refund. That is cheating the system, and same as stealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieguitowpg Posted December 16, 2014 #43 Share Posted December 16, 2014 50 usd per person per day seems like a lot! Unless you do the premium coffee drinks and fresh OJ. 35 for beer and wine is more than my ally still very pricey. Just thinking out loud.

#bbfam Posted December 16, 2014 #44 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It seems like a lot until you think about the others - like you mention, the fresh squeezed OJ, specialty coffees, bottled water (I always like to have one with me, and a few in my room), a couple mimosas in the morning with breakfast, a couple afternoon cocktails on the pool deck, a couple glasses of wine with dinner, then after dinner shots or adult coffees... For us, it is more about not hesitating to get what we want. For me, especially, if it is prepaid I will take advantage and order to my glutinous Christmas cruise-week desires. [emoji12] If I were paying by the drink, I'd be thinking about the cost and doing the math in my head constantly, and I'd go without often... Not having that second cocktail or trying a different bev of the day for fear I wouldn't like it and would waste my $12. But that's a "me" thing. And my husband knows it! So we purchased for both of us so it will truly be a time of treating ourselves. The price per day relative to what this whole vacay is costing (for 7 of us in 3 staterooms) is relatively minor, and worrying about $12 here and there would happen and be ridiculous, so boom. Ultimate. LOL YMMV, as usual. But don't share and get burned. [emoji107] That would be NO fun, and talk about worrying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
