BellaCaps Posted April 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hello everyone! First time cruiser here. We plan on getting a beverage package, likely the premium one, for a cruise in May on Grandeur of the Seas. The price is $404 including the 18% gratuity. Has anyone purchased one before? I can't seem to find a definitive answer, but I'm wondering if our sea pass account will have additional gratuities for beverages when we leave the ship? I know that if we don't get a beverage package there is a gratuity charged automatically to each drink. Even though we have the package, will we be charged additional gratuities per drink? So lets say we drink $450 worth of alcohol....will our sea pass reflect an additional $81 for gratuities for the actual drinks we ordered? Does that make sense? Thanks everyone for your time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadPhish Posted April 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2015 No its 18% on top of whatever the package cost you. It is not 18% from each drink. I dont think I even saw how much alcohol was put on the put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare theminnow Posted April 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2015 You pay the 18% gratuity when you purchase the drink package. So if you drink $450 you will not be charged the $81, you have already paid the gratuity. Enjoy your cruise. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2015 There is no cost for each individual drink, so there is no way to add 18%! The 18% is added to the cost of the PACKAGE...not to the drink,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnalynn279 Posted April 29, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We just returned from a cruise on Grandeur of the Seas, and we purchased the beverage package. As a previous poster said, when you pay for the beverage package, all gratuities are included, so you are not charged anything additional once on board. Also, you can use your Sea Pass to get alcohol on CocoCay as well. I loved having the package, it was fantastic! Enjoy your cruise!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
