Clarea Posted October 18, 2015 #151 Share Posted October 18, 2015 and when you bought the packages you said you would not, was the gratuity included? Did you order something over $ limit and found the balance on your bill? We will also NEVER buy this package (;)) but when we do onboard, I want to make sure there are no surprises. The gratuity is included in your initial purchase of a package. If you order something over the limit, you will be charged the difference plus 18% gratuity.

legaljen1969 Posted October 31, 2015 #152 Share Posted October 31, 2015 OR.....get your Diamond drinks for free and call it good. Some of us haven't gotten to Diamond yet. Poor us. Poor Pathetic souls who have to choose to either pay per drink or get a package. Does this mean we shouldn't drink at all until we get to Diamond? Because your post smacks of "If you haven't made Diamond, you need to just stay to the non-alcoholic drinks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iltutcruiser Posted December 5, 2015 #154 Share Posted December 5, 2015 love this for my trip Don't get too excited Amanda, I thought this was great as well, until I saw that it was originally posted in March of this year and I am sure the drink prices have increased by now.

dpostman Posted December 5, 2015 Author #155 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Don't get too excited Amanda, I thought this was great as well, until I saw that it was originally posted in March of this year and I am sure the drink prices have increased by now. Oh yeah... I was the OP and the prices went up pretty much within a week from me posting in March. We cruised the begining of April and could at least use the list as a reference to try new drinks. The Bartenders at least knew how to make them since they had only removed the drink menus a month prior to our Cruise. By now, I assume that most, especially the pool bartenders will no longer know how to make many of those fru fru drinks on that list. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Researcher Posted December 15, 2015 #156 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Hoping for a solid update to this thread. We were shocked at the drink prices on the Oasis this past May, 2015. We thought it maybe was due to the ship. Sounds as though it's across the board though. I used to get Captain Morgan's on the rocks, or sometimes mixed with Coke, and on our first few cruises ('12, '14) it was around $6.50 (and i think that may have included the tip). On the Oasis this year I think it was closer to $9.50. All the prices were nuts. We were shocked! It really has gotten out of hand!

CTCruiser76 Posted March 29, 2016 #157 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Bumping this up - Will be on the Freedom in a few weeks and we are just wondering if anyone thinks that the bar tenders will know how to make any of these.....This is such a great list - I cant wait to try some of these.....if possible.

Gerry863 Posted April 24, 2016 #158 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The list is good but I'm curious about the straight whiskey prices like bourbon. They're priced per glass but how many ounces are in a glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're priced per glass but how many ounces are in a glass? I'm assuming it would be their standard shot size. I'm guessing either 1.25oz or 1.5oz dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citymom92 Posted May 5, 2016 #161 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Finding this thread so helpful. But I am still wondering: Is the only difference between Ultimate and Premium packages the inclusion of fresh squeezed OJ and premium coffee drinks at the Ultimate level? In other words, are all alcoholic drinks/cocktails/high end bourbon available at the Premium level? It looks to me like Premium would include all alcohol, not just rail brands. Thanks!

The alcoholic drinks are the same for Premium and Ultimate. Ultimate adds fresh squeezed juices, specialty coffees and teas, and bottled sparkling water.

Sallyandtex Posted May 25, 2016 #165 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks for that! Just wondering if there is some info on the mid range bottles of wine? And can I get that sent to the cabin? OR, I saw someone posted on my search, they "gifted" themselves a bottle of champagne through the Cruise Personaliser (ie pre-paid??), can I also order whilst on the ship?

Here is a recent wine list which should give you an idea of pricing: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=49238603&postcount=13 Besides restaurants, you can buy bottles of wine at bars and from room service. Some ships have a VIntages wine bar which will have a different wine list. You can take any of your purchased bottles back to your stateroom.

ramja96 Posted May 25, 2016 #168 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks for posting this list. SO HELPFUL! I cut and pasted it into an email I sen to myself, so I can bring it up quickly and easily on my phone when I'm on board so my DW and I can have a complete list to choose from when we can't decide what we want .... or we've already had a bit too much to remember all our choices .... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is interesting as another cruiser also sailed in January and posted both new and old wine lists. He cruised out of Tampa. Big difference between the Spanish cruise (Rhapsody) and the Caribbean (Brilliance). As an example Clos de Bois on the Spanish is $30 and $45 on the Caribbean. Also similar for the Estancia. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2300090&highlight=wine Does anyone have a recent wine list from the Explorer? Right now there they are a little cheaper on gifts and gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be sailing on Liberty of Seas from Galveston on 28-Aug-16. I am looking for the latest "Liberty of the Seas" drink menu or prices of 16oz american beer, baileys liquor, cocktails (lava flow, pina colada, Coco Loco, Labadoozie) & 500ml bottle water.

catella02 Posted October 3, 2016 #174 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I found 10 new drinks I want to try in December ....I hope they still sell the 10 drink punch card!!!! We got off the Allure on Sept. 25th. They had stopped selling the 10 drink punch card that week. We were disappointed. Because it was the President's cruise they had the conference room set up with various staff from the Miami office to answer questions. We spoke with a staff member from the Presidents office about this. She sent a text to someone in corporate food and beverage to ask about it. They replied they had stopped selling them due to the new drink packages coming out. I do not know if this means fleet wide or not or if it is only temporary or only on that cruise. One never knows about info from RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know where an updated 2016 list is located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
