Drink prices

[fr0mNJ]

Just purchased the combo (deluxe package + VOOM on 1 device) for my upcoming May Harmony cruise for $54/day. The internet alone is $14.00/day which brought the value of the drink package to $40/day. That's the price of 3 cocktails! No brainer!

Royal do offer drinks packages as a promo, we get them all the time in the uk.

But they also raise the price of the cruise to counter act the free package.

 

Not necessarily! On our upcoming Indy cruise, we got the deluxe drinks package free, AND our fare was "buy one, get second half price".

Are the gratuities included in that $44 or is it really $52 because of the 18% gratuity added later?

If booked under US/Canadian rules, gratuities will be added.

Think i may ask here rather than start another thread on the deluxe package....Just curious if i would have an issue at breakfast ordering a fresh squeezed oj and a specialty coffee at the same time. Or even a specialty coffee and a mimosa or bloody Mary...Or will one need to be ordered at a time? I think someone says it's ok to order water with an alcoholic drink at the bars during the day....Just curious for breakfast time in the MDR or windjammer

I think you would probably be OK ordering one alcoholic drink with a specialty coffee or OJ.

We have booked a cruise for December on Grandeur of the Seas out of Baltimore. Right now the Deluxe drink package is $44/day. I want to wait until closer to the sail date before purchasing it. Do they raise the price the closer to the date of departure, or will this price be there in December? Does anyone know?

Unpredictable.

 

Better to buy now. You can cancel and reorder if the price goes down.

If you are going to drink more than four drinks a day I would take the $44 drink package they offer now and run with it. Doubt you will get a better offer if you wait. At the average cost of $11.80 with tip for most drinks it is very easy to spend much more if you are paying as you go.

Are any beverage or drinks are free? Seems like when we cruised many years ago they had a free lemonade/fruit juice dispenser. Any water fountains...etc.

Do you pay for the morning of embarkation in your drink plan?

I realize this is a resurrected thread, but could someone please give me a brief synopsis on how the drink package works? DD will have just turned 21 before our next cruise, so I bought her a package. What doesn't the package cover?

Thank you. Told DD she should bring the list and check off the drinks as she goes! ;p

... it includes the Coca-Cola souvenir cup, is this the cup that works in the Freestyle machines?

Yes. The Coca-Cola souvenir cup is the one that works in the Freestyle Machines. You do not need the cup if you order at a Bar or other venue. We usually get back home with our souvenir cups still wrapped in plastic ;p

DD has always like to "play" with the freestyle machines, and try different flavors. Of course that may change now that she can try different flavors at the bars! :D
