Can you get small martinis with the classic package??

Hi Stellarose:

I would assume that you could get "regular" martinnis under the classic package. They should not be small, but they would be made with regular bar brands of alcohol.

Hope this helps:

But I genuinely prefer my dirty martini made with absolute. Do I still need the premium package?????

Hi jkgourmet:

I think you need the premium for that particular one. The regular vodkas that I saw were "Smirnnoff" and a few others that I did NOT recognize. You can still order regular martinnis in the bars with the "classic" package but with a lessor quality vodka and anything else that they mix in.

Hope this helps:

What is the current cost of a Martini at the Martini bar ?????????

On the Summit, Aug 26th cruise, they were $10 + 15%, with the odd one at $11. These are made with GreyGoose, hence you need the Premium alcohol package.

We are booked for an Eastern Panama Canal Cruise for 15 nights this coming October and we both got the premium alcohol package for the first time. We're so looking forward to not having to worry about our bar bill. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it works out for us. I plan to keep track of all that we drink and see how the package costs compares to the actual cost we would have paid without it.

You don't have to track all of your drinks yourself! The computer on board will do it for you and you have to do is go to the hotel front desk and ask for a print out a couple of times during the cruise or at the end of the cruise. I did this and laughed at how many pages were printed out(lol):)

Have a great cruise:

Can one use the premium package to order large bottles of pellegrino for his table in the MDR? Or do they only serve small individual sized bottles of sparking water.

Hi hockeyfan:

I had the premium alcohol and my wife had the classic non-alcohol(she does not drink alcohol) and at the MDR, the waiter only used my card and would bring any water that we wanted, always the large size because there were 2 of us.
