dutchiegirl Posted April 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2017 As part of our Explore4, we got the Signature Beverage package. From what I understand, it covers drinks up to $8. What happens if I order a glass of wine that is more than that? Do they charge the difference or do they charge the full price of that drink?

If you order something above the limit, you pay the whole amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Right -- anything over $9 -- the cost of the drink will automatically be charged to your shipboard account. HAL does not allow the difference to be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bluesplayer Posted April 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hope a recent cruiser will post a bar menu to see what is available for $9.00. I have a feeling raising the amount on the package to allow $9.00.. will just raise the drink prices. Most likely.. a wash. I hear there is a new beverage VP at HA Frits van der Werff. Hope he is a wine lover and makes certain wine lovers are happy.. no.. thrilled!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not seem like a large selection of wine for that price :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linaeve Posted April 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2017 When did they up it to $9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted April 12, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 12, 2017 When did they up it to $9? Just this month, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequim88 Posted April 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 12, 2017 With the SBP already bought (included anyway) if the bar prices went up necessitating raising the SBP drink limit to $9 that just nudged our break even point over not having the package down a bit. On the other hand going forward you would think the SBP package price would also go up a bit. Might be worth keeping an eye on the daily cost for that. It's probably all relative.

Linaeve Posted April 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm surprised it went up again. It went from $7 to $8 just last year. I'm surprised it would still say $8 on the website with the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmayor Posted April 13, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I doubt the change from $8 to $9 increased the number of wine choices covered by the package. Many of the wines by the glass I recall seeing were priced at $10 or more. I will say, though, that I had no issue with the MacPherson Shiraz I was able to enjoy on the package. It was perfectly fine for me, and Rommel or Roland up in the Crow's Nest had a glass ready for me every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
