Rare 1025cruise Posted April 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2018 In preparation for my trip on the Adventure, I've got a couple of quick questions. 1. Can drink packages be upgraded? If I buy a soda package, can it be upgraded to a refreshment package for just the difference? 2. Do they ever do any on board specials for the drink packages (versus buying in advance)? 3. Are the celebration cakes worth it? Both my wife and I are celebrating our birthdays on board (2 days apart). One night will be in Chopps, but the other night will be in the MDR (last night). Thinking of ordering a cake for the "day in between" which should be a formal night. Is the cake worth the cost? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted April 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Any drink package as long as it was purchased and not included as a perk can be upgraded by paying the difference. I’ve never seen the drink packages cheaper on board than they are in the cruise planner. There were pictures of a cake recently that someone ordered, it did not come close to resembling the picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired LEO Posted April 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The drink packages onboard are much more than online. There won't be any specials by purchasing it onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmom Posted April 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 2, 2018 When I pre-ordered a cake for my friend's 40th on Oasis, it was really good. I had it set up to be delivered to our stateroom the first day of the cruise and it was there when we walked into our suite. That's been about 3 1/2 years ago, so maybe things have changed, but our group thought the cake was great and worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 2, 2018 "Birthday cakes" used to be free..and tasty! Alas, that is no more. Unless you really want a cake that can't be had on the menu...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ReneeFLL Posted April 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The cake definitely isn't worth it. Our local Public has better tasting cakes than what we had. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted April 2, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2018 In preparation for my trip on the Adventure, I've got a couple of quick questions. 1. Can drink packages be upgraded? If I buy a soda package, can it be upgraded to a refreshment package for just the difference? If YOU PURCHASED it, yes. If someone else gifted it to you, no. If you are buying it yourself, it will be cheaper to buy the package you really want before your cruise. 2. Do they ever do any on board specials for the drink packages (versus buying in advance)? These days it is never cheaper to buy on board. 3. Are the celebration cakes worth it? Both my wife and I are celebrating our birthdays on board (2 days apart). One night will be in Chopps, but the other night will be in the MDR (last night). Thinking of ordering a cake for the "day in between" which should be a formal night. Is the cake worth the cost?

If you want to upgrade I'd cancel soda package and buy the package you want online before you go. As for the cakes, they are a nice surprise but not that tasty. If you're going to Chop's I would certainly choose one of their desserts over ordering a cake. Tell them it's your birthday and I believe they will put a candle in your dessert and sing. Enjoy!!

JTBCruiser Posted April 2, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Our TA surprised us with a chocolate cake for our anniversary in the MDR. Both DW and I thought it was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
