mugtech Posted May 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Are there any other drinks available for the four free drinks besides the alcohol listed? I know certain coffees are not available, but what about sodas, fruit juice and milkshakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know certain coffees are not available, but what about sodas, fruit juice and milkshakes? Almost anything besides coffee from a freestanding Starbucks and there are mixed reports about JR milkshakes. Soda, fresh squeezed OJ, mocktails, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any drink up to $14, except Bionic Bar, Starbucks kiosks, and possibly Rising Tide Bar (YMMV). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another_Critic Posted May 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2023 To add. You can use the voucher on drinks >$14. You pay the excess + 18% gratuity on the excess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyKnott Posted May 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I'm not a heavy drinker and always have free drinks left at the end of the day, I've gotten into the habit of stopping at a bar at the end of the day to get bottles of water to use up the drink vouchers. On Navigator a few months ago, one bartender always gave me an extra bottle of water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you write this makes me think you are looking at the old way of using the vouchers where you were limited to what was on the card. They have changed it and you are able to use it for any drink you want up to $14.00 at any time of the day. It’s great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted May 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Often, we don’t use every voucher, and that is OK. i’ve never had a day when I’ve used all that have been allocated. I admit, it is difficult to leave an unused voucher at first but if you don’t need your vouchers, then just don’t bother to get a beverage at the end of the day. I’m not sure what happens to the bottles of water left in cabins at the end of a cruise. I don’t know if they have to trash them or they can put back into stock. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la_croisiere_s'amuse Posted May 27, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 27, 2023 As mentioned earlier, milkshakes are hit and miss but if you're on a ship with a Vitality Cafe, the smoothies there are included. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said they can take them for personal consumption if they want. I also offer my attendate a cold drink if i catch him working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we've left a bottle of wine for the cabin attendant, the attendant has asked us to put a note on it that indicates it is for him/her. There are lots of beverages left outside the cabin doors long with dirty plats, ice buckets etc. To answer the OP - use it for most anything you want. Juice, soda, water, specialty coffee, smoothies at the spa on Oasis ships. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted May 27, 2023 #16 Share Posted May 27, 2023 At the end of the night, we often just order a couple of virgin drinks to take back and enjoy in our stateroom and use up our vouchers. Alcohol and our evening meds don’t mix well (or at least that’s what the doctor says). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bottled beer, my understanding is you have to hand it to them, not leave it behind, You can share the vouchers with anyone, it is not like the drink package that you can not share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not big drinkers so we get a few Pelos for me and sodas for DH to keep in the stateroom and then.... We use our "left at the end of the night" vouchers to get drinks for our cabin steward. We ask them what they like and load them up. We designate a drawer for them and they know that they can take whatever is in that drawer at anytime. Many of them have taken a few at a time when cleaning stateroom. They say that is easier than trying to take a bunch at the end. Everyone is happy by end of the sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifes-a-beach Posted May 28, 2023 #22 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I’ve never been told no when ordering a caramel frappe from the coffee place. On Allure it even says Starbucks and is a stand alone kiosk and I wasn’t turned away. I don’t drink alcohol and my wife is a cheap date so we just get water at the end of the night. I always bring several large ziplocks and we just put the bottles of water in them and put them in my bag to take home. We don’t fly so it’s no big deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you bother to bring water bottles home when you can buy a case at your local grocery store for $3-4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
