$1 charged with drinks package

[KDance]

Does anyone know what a $1 charge would be for in various bars? I have the ultimate/deluxe package.

 

I don’t believe I ever went above $12 a drink which is the max.

That's all I can think of, they thought you went over the limit.

Did you add an extra tip?

[clarky213]

If it was $1 over the limit, it would be $1.18 inc gratuity. Looks more like a tip added on to your bill.

Makes sense, thanks!

But if you did not authorize it, it seems fishy.

I remember last year around this time Royal started to raise the price of drinks by $1-$2 until the Holiday sailings were done. I was on Freedom last December and it happened a few times.

I hate it when they change the rules in the middle of the game. The drink package should be price protected.:cool:

I agree. Royal has been known to have "dynamic" pricing on lots of things over the holiday season.

I've gone over the limit for some wines when I had the drink package last month on Freedom, but they told me ahead of time when they took my seapass. I did not pay any extra gratuity on the $2-3 over the limit.

That was nice of them, but it doesn't always happen that way.

We had $1 added to our bill twice last cruise. When I was at guest services about something else I inquired about it. I was told that I was the tip we added on. We had not added a tip. He pulled the ticket and $1 tip was written in...not our handwriting. Both tickets were the same server. They took the tips off.

Were you in port when it was charged? If I’m not mistaken some ports have an added fee on drinks. I may be completely wacky on this, but it’s something I remember from our cruise last year on the Escape while still in Miami.

That is why with any slip, I put a slash through the tip area, and write in the total.

 

A bit harder for the server to change it.

I'll have to find them... the bar staff have been great on this trip so I hope it's more my memory loss than anything deceitful :) :/

Sounds like they found new jobs for the thieves who used to account for the water bottles in the cabins. I really don’t understand why RCCL tolerates this.

It's true that Royal adds US state sales tax to drinks purchased singly while in a US port. However, they do not add that tax to drinks covered by an unlimited beverage package.

Yes, I do that too but DH got the drinks. He now does it too :)
