Questions about included beverages

Then one of the packages that includes the WiFi may be your best bet, especially for a long cruise.

Would Diet Coke be included all day long or only at lunch and dinner?  I don't drink coffee so I usually have Diet Coke with breakfast and another one in the afternoon before dinner... thanks!

Coke Zero, also.

I think so too... it might end up more expensive, but at least I won't be looking at prices after coming back from a long day of touring... It is a 10 night cruise... thanks!

On Pursuit at the moment and there is no Diet Coke or Coke Light. Only Coke Zero, which I can’t drink. Something about the different sweetener in it upsets my digestion. I might try to find some Diet Coke or Coke light at our next port.

Does anyone have a sample mocktail menu for things included in the basic pkg?  I know about the soft drinks but am hoping there might be some interesting alcohol free mixed drink options.

Oh no! I hope that’s not the case on Onward. My sister and her partner are taking their first Azamara cruise in March and Diet Coke is all she drinks! Coke Zero is yucky

Guess it's a personal thing.  We much prefer Zero to Diet.  Much closer to "the real thing" in taste.

Well, that’s true that it’s all about personal tastes. I could have phrased that differently 😏

I’m reluctant to buy a package as my wife doesn’t drink alcohol. So I can assess the ‘value’ of an occasional drink bought from the premium range can someone please tell me the size of the spirits measures - are they U.K. single/double equivalent or free pour?

Good question!

Traditionally it’s been free pour however starting with Onward it’s supposed to be changing to measured, but would be U.K. double equivalent.

Incidentally on Azamara it’s not necessary for both people in a cabin to purchase a package, also if you have a loyalty level with Azamara there’s a discount applied to the package.

What’s a UK double, exactly?

The UK Weights and Measurements Act defines that a premises may sell a single shot measured at 25ml or 35ml, and a double measured at 50ml.

So a UK double looks like a little more than a US single, which I would say was 1.5 oz
