drink package upgrade?

[coconutmonkey]

We are new to HAL and have questions about the included Signature Drink Package.  Can we upgrade to the Elite Package and how much per day would that be?  Alternatively, can we pay the difference between our allowed $11 per drink to a higher priced drink?  My husband loves sampling Scotches.  I cannot find on HAL's website a list of included drinks in the Signature Drink Package.  Does anyone have a link or a list?

Many thanks.

A look around the board would find tons of threads, including drink menus and prices.

 

If you order a drink above the $11 price, you will pay the full price of the drink. It will not be covered in any way by the drink package.

 

If you wish to upgrade, you will pay the price difference, which on board, IIRC, is about $10 per day, per person.

Are simple mixed drinks, like Margarita or G&T, included in the basic package?

Your husband will be in Scotch heaven on either the Nieuw Statendam or Konigsdam with their Notes sampling events:

Yes and the more "complex" fancy boat drinks too, as long as made with Well liquor (house brands) -- Gotta have my Mojitos and PainKillers! DH says Daiquiris and Pina Coladas!

 

Any simple blend is priced by the liquor in it "free" mixer.

I had no problem getting drinks made with call/premium brands as long as the individual liquor was $11 or less at menu price.  On my last HAL cruise I had MANY Grey Goose Cosmos, all of which were included in the SBP

You are correct! I meant to cover that in my last sentence. "priced by the liquor". Which can be found in the individual bar's printed menu or by asking the bartender if your chosen poison comes under $11.

If you look through the many Beverage Package threads here, like mentioned above, there are links to menus. Most have pre-Covid prices available.
