Does the select drinks package include tea and coffee ect or is it just soda, I have only experienced Celebrity where the packages include this.

Regular coffee is included for everyone. Specialty coffee is not included in Select package.

The Select package includes soda, virtually all beers, and wine up to $8 per glass.

 

Hot tea, iced tea, and regular coffee are included in the basic cruise fare, no packages needed.

Wines up to $9 are included on European cruises.

It's the same wines that are included. However, since the wine prices on European cruises already have the 18% gratuity added, they needed to adjust the package limits accordingly.

Champagne is considered wine, so the Select package includes champagne up to $8 per glass. I'm not sure how many selections are available for that price.

Are there packages where wine above $8 is covered? Slim pickings at under $8.

The Premium and Ultimate packages cover wine up to $12 per glass.

There isn't any champagne covered by the Select package, you need the Premium package for that. But a very drinkable Prosecco is covered by it.

Hi when people talk regular coffee is it instant coffee or percolated?

Personally unless you are an alchoholic I would avoid thee overpriced drinks packages completely and just order what you want. that way you will get better quality drinks and enjoy the cruise a little more sober. i saw a lot of people pouring drinks down their necks in order to justify the price they had paid for the packages

I believe there is a house champagne that falls under the limit of the Select package.

Great point! We have cruised over 25 times and have drank some and had fantastic fun and never spent anywhere near $ 120 dollars a day for the two of us. But, the ones that do must find it to be a value. My wife and I are not one of those. A cold glass of water on a hot pool day tastes incredible! LOL:cool:

I noticed that in this version of the document, there are no longer any per drink price limits listed.

Clarea, I guess they changed it.

Champagne (to more more accurate...sparkling wine since it is not from the Champagne region of France) was indeed included in the Select Package on our Oasis cruise last month.

Welcome to Cruise Critic. I am not an alcoholic but I like the drink package. It covers all the specialty coffee, OJ, and water that I want plus a few drinks at a show. Just because it is not beneficial to you do not assume it is not good for others. With the Ultimate package everything is paid for ahead of time and usually I break even at the end. It is worth it for me not to have a large bill at the end of the cruise.

"Wines by the glass" versus "premium wines by the glass"-- guess that distinction is now coming.

Wow-- judge much? The only accurate word here is "personally"-- glad to see that works for you; may not for others.
