Geez, that $600 bar tab offer will go pretty quickly with those drink prices. I wish VV had a beverage package. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely wouldn't say that, but I do wish that they were more transparent with the drink prices. When you're sitting at the bar, you don't want to seem like a cheapskate, asking "how much is this or that", but I've been ordering top shelf tequila, and the price has ranged from $14 to $24... That's quite a variance in my opinion... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested to hear what sailor services would say if you asked why the same drink is more in a different bar.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly same thing I was thinking about. It’d be at least $200 pppd for bar tab on Virgin. Oh boy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcrum Posted May 22, 2023 #632 Share Posted May 22, 2023 That dinner did not look appetizing in the least except for the lamb chop. How did it all taste? Was the salmon smoked? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have to start getting an estimate before ordering. Ouch. Did they use 1942 in it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #635 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) At Extra Virgin now, and testing out their top shelf margarita. This is for sure the best one so far, and not $24... The bartender said to ask for a price when ordering. I showed him the variance in pricing I've received so far.

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #637 Share Posted May 22, 2023 One more, as long as they're coming in hot... (And, not $24) These Patron reposado margs are running me $15 here... The guy says he works at the Dock House during the day, so maybe my "main guy" from now on. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted May 22, 2023 #638 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Personally I would be asking for the charges to either be corrected or removed. You don’t even have to go to sailor services. Just send them a message on the app. What’s the worst that could happen? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #639 Share Posted May 22, 2023 That was probably my last one tonight... Seems like it's been a really long day, but a lot of it was spent waiting at the hotel, and then waiting again at the port for so long... Finally on board, things have zigged and zagged, but mostly for the better. It's just a process trying to find my groove once on board... Hopefully tomorrow everything will be reset for the better, and I've got (possibly) my new main bartender on board... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #640 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I made up a little ground at least at the Extra Virgin Bar... Once I started throwing cash tips on the bar, suddenly a couple of my drinks ended up being no charge...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #644 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I thought about doing the Grog Walk tonight, but I've already been drinking all day, and it's only now about to start... It was probably the thing that got me an invite to a secret party last cruise, but I don't need no secret party, I'm a party of one... 10 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it seems like the bartenders get a percentage of each drink they pour, so they're charging what they think you will pay. Not fact, just an observation. 😎 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #648 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Well, I'm probably (definitely) not making the pajama party tonight, so here's what my "costume" was going to be, for lack of a better one... 15 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is his name like Fabio? I had a guy at the Dock who was super chatty and nice with that name. The other two people who knew my drink immediately and had it in my hand in minutes were also at the dock...inside part, whatever that is called. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
