Clarea Posted April 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2015 What's the best drink package to purchase if you only drink wine, some mixed drinks and coca-cola.... no beer! thanks! The Premium package is the lowest price package that includes mixed drinks, soda, and wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avril Posted April 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2015 What is available with the drink packages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options)? Also, what do you get (if anything) that you'd have to carry around with you to use the package? I understand that they put a sticker on your ship card but is there anything else you need to have with you? I've heard RCI has special self-serve soda machines. How do they work and are they part of the packages? What's the difference between the Primium and Unlimited Packages (other than price obviously)? I'm planning a cruise with my BF next year on the Freedom and we're going to buy a package, just trying to decide which one. Thanks!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beancounterbeth Posted April 15, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 15, 2015 With the Premium package it includes drinks up to what price? It seems like I had heard at one point a price point you could go up to and then after that you had to pay the difference. Plus now I'm hearing the price of drinks have gone up so I'm worried about always having to supplement a difference on every drink I order. Does anyone know the price per drink you can order up to with the premium package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus now I'm hearing the price of drinks have gone up so I'm worried about always having to supplement a difference on every drink I order. Does anyone know the price per drink you can order up to with the premium package? Cocktails and glasses of wine up to $12. Anything over, you pay the difference. The $12 is the price before gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some of these prices I've been hearing about it sounds like even with the premium package we could still be looking at paying extra just for a pinacolada. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some of these prices I've been hearing about it sounds like even with the premium package we could still be looking at paying extra just for a pinacolada. :eek: Cocktails seem to be mostly $10 or $12 before gratuity according to recent cruisers, so the majority would be included. You might have to pay the difference if you like premium wines, as a lot seem to be iver the $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiley620 Posted April 15, 2015 #17 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Cocktails and glasses of wine up to $12. Anything over, you pay the difference. The $12 is the price before gratuity. Premium is wine by glass up to $8, Ultimate is wines up to $12. Same for drinks I believe. Neither include room service or mini fridge, Evian water, canned sodas, specialty beers or super premium category beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurants and Cafe Promenade or Cafe Latte-Tudes depending on the ship. Coffees will be things like cappucino, espresso, latte, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smd104 Posted April 16, 2015 #21 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Is bottle water included in which packages? Not Evian water. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 16, 2015 #22 Share Posted April 16, 2015 No, you will not pay extra. $12 now appears to be the standard price for cocktails so you'll be fine $14 on some recent cruises out of Australia but the drinks packages covered all drinks, we never had to pay eny extra.
