SandJCruiser Posted January 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I understand that you can order a standard well drink, like a G&T, using the included spirits. What about a "basic" cocktail that includes a small amount of a liqueur, for example the limoncello in a lemon drop? Would this be available at no charge, or a small upcharge, or a full cocktail price? Secondly what additional cocktails are available with the packages? Are specialty cocktails discounted with the basic upgrade package and free with the Ultimate or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a list of included cocktails, but I can’t remember which they are, someone else may. You should be able to ask for any cocktail to be made with an included spirit or with a spirit on the premium package if that’s what you’ve paid for.

SandJCruiser Posted January 19, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Appreciate the response, but not quite the answer to my question. If you DON'T have a package and you order a cocktail with an included main spirit, but also a component, like a liqueur, that's not on the included list, would they charge, and, if so, how would they charge?

My understanding is that if a cocktail is not available within a package, then the full price of the cocktail is charged to the passenger’s account. There is no partial charge. So for example, an Aperol Spritz would not be included on the complimentary drinks list, and would be charged at whatever the full price would be for that cocktail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Miggins Posted January 20, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I have ordered a lemon drop martini specifying ‘included’ ingredients and it has been happily provided. The ones from the Prime C bar are especially good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnevale Posted January 21, 2023 #15 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thank you for the mocktail list. I was hoping for a few more options. I might ask them to make something out standard bar ingredients and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander58 Posted January 22, 2023 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2023 We also ordered Mojitos without any additional charges. I did have a Brandy Alexander one night and the charge was only $6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuts4pi Posted February 27, 2023 #18 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Can you get a "no-name" sparkling water under the Premium or basic package without upgrading to the Ultimate package? If so, is there an upcharge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted February 27, 2023 #19 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Everyone can get no name sparkling water. Only ultimates get “nice name” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are specialty cocktails discounted with the basic upgrade package and free with the Ultimate or what? The drinks that are included are very limited and far more so than the basic package we’ve had on Celebrity and other cruise lines. The cost to upgrade to the Ultimate doesn’t make sense unless you are drinking a lot and don’t have many port days. Our biggest complaint was on two Azamara Cruises six weeks apart there was not a daily changing selection of red, white and rose wines but the with one exception part way through our second cruise when one new bottle was introduced, it was the same every day. Both times it was blamed on supply chain issues but most weren’t buying that especially as many were private labels for Azamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you have to drink a lot, I think you just may prefer higher quality alcohol. A couple glasses of very good quality champagne, a good scotch or vodka. We’ve never had a bartender tell us no with any cocktail requests on the ultimate package. Why scrimp when you’re on holiday? As far as the wine selection, I think any cruise line, resort, whatever that has their own label will serve that as their everyday pour.

I also disagree. The cost for us was something like $20pp/day after our loyalty discount. That was not difficult to justify at all, port day or otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
