Drink prices and drink packages

[LegalRN]

We're trying to find out the price of drinks, such as higher end vodka like Grey Goose, etc. And opinions regarding the Elite drink package. Not sure which way to go. Do the non-alcoholic drinks count towards the 15 drink per day limit with the package? TIA😊

Have you got a cruise booked?  If you do, the prices for the different drink packages are on the HAL site.  A lot of HAL cruises offer HIA (Have it All) which includes the Signature Beverage Package.

Grey Goose is included in the lower package.  Non alcoholic drinks are included in it.

The Elite package is the higher of the two packages. All but the most expensive stuff is covered by the Elite package. Only a few high end alcohols and wines aren't covered...but probably 90% is covered.

Currently (or recently) the SBP has been offered with drinks over $11 costing just the difference plus 18%. There is some disagreement whether the Elite counts non-alcoholic drinks towards the 15 limit. They do count for the SBP. My husband and I made no effort to keep within the 15 limit, and never went over it! And we only left the ship 3 days in 16...

from the FAQ on your link..

 

The Quench and Signature packages have a daily limit
of 15 beverages per day. The signature package counts
Zero-Proof beverage towards the daily limit. The Elite
Package has unlimited zero proof beverages and a
daily limit of 15 alcoholic beverages.

Does the Quench package include coffee at the Dutch Cafe?

Quench pkg. I don’t know if this is something new, but every time I order a drink from the package, I am asked to sign for it.  There is a line for “ tip.”
