AppyAmmer Posted August 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2017 My drink/weapon of choice is Jack Daniels but usually with coke, when I order one on a ship do I get charged for the JD and the coke seperately? Trying to work out if/what drinks package is suitable as if I order both that changes the cost. If I order a JD and coke is it: $7 (Give or take) or is it $7 + $3.25 (Total $10 ish) Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It can vary by line but normally the limit is before the "tip". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted August 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Perhaps I should have specified, its going to be on Royal Caribbean When you order a cocktail on RC, there is one price for the cocktail, you don't get charged separately for the mixer. A Jack & Coke runs about $9 before gratuity, and is well within the limits of the alcoholic drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted August 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2017 No...the "coke" is part of the mixed drink. Same with vodka tonic, or Seagrams and seven...one price for a cocktail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted August 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2017 In the UK (where OP lives), you buy the mixer separately from the liquor. So my wife would order a Gin and Tonic. She would be charged something like $7 for the gin and $2 for the tonic. Usually she would get enough tonic for two drinks. In the US, the drink comes mixed and would be $7 in my example. No extra charge for the mixer, but no leftover mixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted August 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Slightly off topic - but if I were going to mix my bourbon with Coke, I'd probably think Ten-High rather than Jack Daniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted August 27, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 27, 2017 No...the "coke" is part of the mixed drink. Same with vodka tonic, or Seagrams and seven...one price for a cocktail.In my experience this us the case when the mixer comes out of the "hose." If the mixer is in a separate little can or bottle you'll be charged extra for the mixer. A specific example that happened to me was that I ordered a Jack & ginger on Queen Mary 2. Since Cunard doesn't stock ginger ale in the hose I was given a can of ginger ale and the drink cost more than a Martini would have. A Jack and Coke would have been 2 or 3 dollars cheaper.

AppyAmmer Posted August 29, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Still confused on how much my drink will cost me! Anyone help? In laymans terms, as I sail from the UK, if I go to a bar and order JD and coke how much would I be charged, in total for each drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted August 29, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Almost certainly the coke will come out of the hose (or they will/should recommend a cola that does) so you'll be charged for just the Jack Daniels. So $7 based on your earlier hypothetical pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanger727 Posted August 30, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Per post #5, on royal Caribbean a jack and Coke is approx $9 before gratuity. So $10-$11 altogether (mandatory 18% gratuity is added on all drinks) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
