lexxfield Posted March 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Four of us will be sailing on the Seaside in June. The promotion under which we booked gives us the Easy Drink Package. I have six questions regarding this package. 1. Is the classic martini (i.e. gin, vermouth, olive) included in the drinks covered by the Easy Package? 2. Are any dark rums included in the Easy Package? 3. Are any spiced rums included in the Easy Package? 4. If one requests a “double,” is this included in the Easy Package? 5. If one has the Easy Package, is there a service charge billed to the person's onboard account for every drink received? 6. May a person order two drinks at a time under the Easy Package, or must the person present two room cards when ordering? I have attempted to find answers to these questions by doing a search, but either there is no answer, or there is a conflicting answer. Any information from someone who has sailed the Seaside recently is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacardi white is it 4) sort of - they pour pretty heavy, and often ask if you want s double. 5) no extra service charge or fees 6) usually fine to grab two drinks as they scan your card or bracelet and see package - and everyone in cabin has to have package. That's our experience, and understanding. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EngIceDave Posted March 20, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I believe a martini can be made with the basic ingredients, gin and vermouth, which I believe a brand of each is in the easy pkg think of the easy package like this, any drinks are what’s called “well brand” drinks. No premium brands...no Bombay, no Tito’s, no Myers Dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane0001 Posted March 20, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This is why I said, Captain Morgan was included. I do not have personal experience with this yet as I do not sail Seaside till September 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EngIceDave Posted March 20, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 20, 2019 None of it really makes sense, so don’t go planning anything whole thing seems rather fluid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susan bt Posted March 22, 2019 #14 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I am not sure where I got this, or how recent it is, but here is a list I found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robjram69 Posted March 22, 2019 #15 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Just off the Seaside sailing 3/9 - 3/16. A new bartender was carrying the package cheatsheet and allowed me to take pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexxfield Posted March 25, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) One of the more confusing aspects is that the EasyPackage lists specific drinks and then says "mixed drinks with house spirit brands." The words in quotations lead me to believe that the actual cocktails that one can order are much broader than the few specific ones listed. For example, it seems one could order a classic martini made with Smirnoff vodka, and this would be included in the easy package, as Smirnoff is the house spirit brand of vodka listed in the Easy Package.

Bobal Posted March 25, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 25, 2019 And presumably one could order, say, a vodka and tomato juice with spices i.e. a Bloody Mary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexxfield Posted March 26, 2019 Author #18 Share Posted March 26, 2019 If one request Smirnoff vodka, the house brand, with the tomato juice, I believe you are correct, Bobal. If fact one could just ask for a Bloody Mary with Smirnoff and be covered under the Easy Package according to the language I quoted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
