Rare RCCL Fan Posted December 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2014 My last cruise the drink pig's were brand new... as in weeks old but I distinctly remember our waiter telling us you could not use your drink package to order wine by the glass in the dining room. I don't see that written anywhere on the description this time around. Has it changed? Also does anyone have any experience with mojitos & the drink pkg? I'm not a big drinker at all, but I love mojitos , they are so cool and refreshing in the caribbean sun, and never make me feel like they're alcohol heavy. On my independence cruise I have about a 40% chance of getting one on my card. Bartenders would often say it wasn't covered. Other times it was. I sailed celebrity and not only was it covered but they made different types, even had me try frozen ones. I knew RCI was having some adjustment with the pig's back then. Has service become more consistent? I'm trying to decide if I should buy the drink pkg. Other than mojitos by the pool and a few glasses of wine here and there, I don't see us drinking a lot.... especially with the kids in tow this trip. But if mojito's count it would be worth it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2014 If you get the Premium or Ultimate package, then all cocktails (including mojitos) up to $12 in value are included. Wine by the glass up to $12 per glass is also included, even in the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennielz Posted December 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2014 We always get the premium drink package. You can get any alcoholic beverage up to $12. That's most everything they have. You can get wine by the glass in the MDR or specialty restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisiamc Posted December 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Try the mojitos in several different bars until you find a favourite bar tender. I'm a mojito fan too, and I find big differences from bar to bar. And as others have said, the premium package works fine for wine by the glass at dinner.

No longer a requirement that everyone in a stateroom must purchase a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
