JHUNTGOLF Posted November 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2021 This is my first Holland America cruise in over 40 years. I have the Signature Beverage Package for an upcoming Rotterdam cruise. It covers any drink up to $11. What happens if you order a drink that costs $16? Do you have to pay the entire $16 or do you pay just $5 (the difference between the $11 and the $16)? On Celebrity you just pay the difference not the entire cost. I have looked on Holland America’s website and throughout the Cruise Critic website and can’t find an answer to this question. I know I can’t be the first person to raise this issue. Can anyone help with an answer? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Suzy Posted November 10, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2021 7 minutes ago, Sea42 said: You pay the entire cost of any beverage over $11 Plus you pay the 18% gratuity on the entire cost. The beverage package includes the gratuity for covered drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHUNTGOLF Posted November 10, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks for the quick responses. Holland America’s policy certainly isn’t very favorable to the cruising public. A fairer policy would be to adopt the same thing that Celebrity does—you deduct the $9 dollar limit of the classic beverage package from a higher cost drink and you just pay the difference.

canadarocks Posted November 10, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Just so you know, the Signature beverage package now has a limit of $11 a drink. The Elite package is $15. So your example of a $16 drink wouldn't be covered by either of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John There are very few drinks over $11. Roger Jetts website has the cuirent bar menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
