Aloha 1 Posted January 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2023 looks like a $1 to $2 increase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted January 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2023 For me the most important thing I see is that Balvenie and Oban scotch are now both on the bar menu, they were not before, although they were available in Horizons for a cost, (not part of the Prestige Package). If they stick with the old rule that if it's on the bar menu it's covered under the package then the addition of those two single malts alone would make it worth the extra $10 per day to me. I understand that others couldn't care less about single malts, but for me that's a positive improvement. Thanks for posting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robjame Posted January 6, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Orv et al: The single malts that have been added to the bar menu are included in The Prestige Beverage Package. Catch 22 - not all are on board yet -Oban, Cragganmore, Balvenie - I did have a double Macallan $34 + 20% before lunch for research purposes 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to test that too 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgee Posted January 6, 2023 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Thanks for posting. Since I have 40 days booked on unremodeled Mariner in the next year and a half, I am sure Oceania will still charge me the old lower prices to go with the old decor on the ship.🤣 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t checked but if it is not on one of the bar menus, it is not included in a beverage package- I will check at one of the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike other lines the package is not determined by price, but by what is on the bar menu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen variations on the menu at each one in the past, so which one defines the Prestige package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen variations on the menu at each one in the past, so which one defines the Prestige package? Any drink you find on any bar menu or any wine by the glass or any beer is included in the Prestige menu as far as I know. However you might not find all drinks at all bars. For example Baristas has a limited menu suitable for aperetivos or after dinner drinks or drinks with coffee but not the fancy cocktails. Or - we like a pastis (cinquante et un or Ricard) before dinner but it may only be available at Main Bar. Having said that, we have ordered it from any restaurant and it arrives. Caveat: there are some specialty drinks only available in specific specialty restaurants - sake in red Ginger or a special after dinner liquor in Tuscan. We are in the habit of asking if in doubt “Is this included in the drink package?” - avoids surprises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I was thinking there was a $15 limit on the prestige package, but I may have been mistaken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
