If you are ordering from a menu you will know the price otherwise just ask the bartender what fits in your package. The plus package limit per drink is $15
Yes both MDR meals breakfast, dinner and lunch on sea days are included. Also buffet and lido deck pizza and grill are also included. Oh and International Cafe. You will not starve
Tendering over is fine to Cabo. Tendering back is a disaster there is priority tendering back to shore so be prepared to stand in line for a long time in the heat
I still say the premier package has too many things we don’t.use. 95% of our drinks are covered by the plus package? We no longer care about photos most ships we sail only have a few casual eateries and we don’t like the Gastropub. Just can’t justify the $20 per person extra on 2 or 3 week 🚢
The piazza is the glitz venue but with the height, the loud music and all the open food and drink areas around it just make it deafening. I will take the smaller ships we only sail this class if there is an itinerary we really want
There is no Sabatini’s since the space is currently used for Harmony although there have been rumors that it will change sometime down the line. Depending on the cruise and weather it sometimes seems too cold for the noodle bar
We never reserve in advance. We just call the dine line when we board and arrange a time. They know that they need to save space for full suites. Or if you are on a Royal class ship just see the concierge when you board. We have never had a problem and we have booked full suites for 10 years
Not the way the packages are currently set up. I cruise with plus package and I get 2 casual meals on my 10 day cruise in January and on my 16 day cruise next month same thing. But on b2b 7 day cruises this summer I will get 4. Just the way they have it set up
Some VIP cruises come with drinks in the casino but otherwise it is a matter of getting to know the casino host but I doubt they are going to gift you unlimited drinks. We always have the plus package so it is kind of moot for us
It also depends on what ship you are on Royal class ships have more casual venues than others. In fact as far as I know the Coral only has popup venues for casual and most Grand class have Vines and Gastropub and most are only for dinner except Vines on sea days
