nadalina Posted April 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I'll be on my first cruise with Oceania next month and I'm trying to decide whether or not to purchase the premium drink package. Does anyone have a list of the whiskeys and prices they offer? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a list of the whiskeys and prices they offer? Thank you! A quick search of this forum will provide unlimited information on this subject. Let me add that the greatest issue to your question revolves around how long ago the ship was restocked with said whisky. Our bar menu listed multiple whiskies and bourbons, however very few were actually in stock including most all of the premium brands. Jack Daniels Black was in good supply however! 🙄 My recommendation is to actually go to Martinis and Horizons and ask ( or look) to see what is actually available for your cruise before deciding on buying the upgraded premium package or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadalina Posted April 6, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Excellent advice…..thank you! Actually, availability of the nicer brands to drink neat was my biggest concern. I’ll definitely do what you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardedshark Posted April 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Slightly random question but does anyone know if the ship stocks ginger wine? Or ginger beer for that matter. Not ginger ale, totally different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMHuntFerry Posted April 7, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) They need ginger beer for the Mules in Waves, but I don't think it's in other bars...ask though. Edited April 7, 2023 by AMHuntFerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stones (or at a push Crabbies) ginger wine. Quite sweet and fiery. Can be put in a whiskey mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no one answered your question There are 2 packages the House select is beer, wine/champagne by the glass with lunch & dinner ONLY Prestige Package is the same but available anytime plus spirits anytime the bars are open Scroll down the Beverage Packages https://www.oceaniacruises.com/value I suspect the menus will be the same as the Riviera here is a thread with the new menus https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2904150-riviera-new-bar-drinks-menus-and-prices/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another frequent poster was unhappy that they ran out during her voyage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdeb Posted April 7, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2023 On our March cruise on Riviera, I asked for a few cans of ginger beer from Waves bar to take back to my cabin to make my own Dark& Stormy. Also needed a few lime wedges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdeb Posted April 7, 2023 #15 Share Posted April 7, 2023 There was no cost, it is the same as any other mixer, ( tonic, soda, Coke). I think the name is Goslings, same as the rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdeb Posted April 7, 2023 #17 Share Posted April 7, 2023 LTH28 it was alcohol free, that is why the need for the rum.😀🥃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted April 7, 2023 #18 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I think some of us were looking for real ginger beer like Crabbies 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardedshark Posted April 8, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 8, 2023 In the uk crabbies do a ginger flavoured beer (alcoholic) and a ginger wine, more of a liquor. Best alcoholic ginger beer for me is one called gingerbeard by Wychwood. Surprisingly enough I was thinking about the non alcoholic variety to mix with a bitter beer to make a shandy. Looks like jackdeb has the answer. Thanks. I look forward to a few dark and stormys too. 1 week to go🍸🍻🍷🍹 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
