I would never buy a Classic Beverage package because the inclusions are garbage. I think with the Elite Plus perks (Elite Breakfast + Coffee Shop benefit + HH), one can pretty much get away without a beverage package these days.

Add Baileys. And so on... Even better if you add a Jameson’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one don’t like to be told which hour i am allowed to have drink The RCL perk of having # Drinks on your cards is nicer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted July 29, 2023 #30 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Oh dear, on a ship you will also be told at what hour you can have breakfast in the MDR, at what hour you can see the comedian, at what hour you can swim in the pool. Pretty much everything. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't drink any alcohol so our Elite+ unlimited free lattes/teas/chocolate plus we can collect enough canned/bottled water to get us through the next day between 5 and 7 pm is far better for us than Royals limited offer. The same goes for the internet - 240 minutes each to use as we want works far better than Royals "24 hour blocks" . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We not Elite + so we don’t get unlimited free lattes/teas/chocolate we did spend 21 days on RCL last September so 4 drinks a day was fine for us 24 hour block of internet on RCL does suck 😁 Edited July 29, 2023 by Ex-Airbalancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pyramid Boxes/Bags of Forte tea and the hot chocolate are both excellent. Hello, That's the thing. I like my coffee to taste of coffee not that stuff, apparently vital to many, known as 'half and half'. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's much cheaper to buy a few drinks outside the social hours and pay individually. I never order more than four drinks, even during the HH, so having four drinks available as a coupon for all-day use would be much superior.

quacker5 Posted July 29, 2023 #37 Share Posted July 29, 2023 How does the Elite plus complementary coffees work, they take your card and don’t charge similar to when you have a drink package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted July 29, 2023 #38 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Yes, if you are Elite Plus trey take your card but there is no charge for the coffees at Al Bacio, as long as they don’t have alcohol added to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymncruise Posted July 30, 2023 #39 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I didn’t notice this perk on the list for Al Bacio. Is this perk on all ships? Is it also for the elite level? I had assumed that you have to attend the elite breakfast in order to access the benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who are Elite, they can partake at the elite breakfast only or get with the beverage package from Al Bacio. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauimary Posted July 30, 2023 #41 Share Posted July 30, 2023 We have three b2b2b coming up. We will turn to elite plus after the second B2B. We did not purchase the all inclusive for the third cruise. We too can do quite well if we have the coffee and tea benefit as we are fine with HH and few purchases during the day if we feel the need. Will our new status be recognized this soon or does it take corporate awhile to get it changed over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However all you need do is see the C&A Concierge before the end of the second B2B and he/she will arrange to see you on the first morning of the (final) cruise and a new seapass card will be made for you with the new status and the local IT systems will update you to E+ at around 10.30.
