Rare cheznandy Posted November 14, 2017 #26 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Wow.... and JUST REMEMBER folks... that the cruise lines are getting this alcohol DUTY FREE themselves. It used to be reasonable - now, it's just greed with their prices One thing that is not 'noted' on these is the currency. Nor the 'gratuity' for someone giving your a bottle. Those prices are through the roof if they are USD, our Golden Princess prices were similar in September and they were AUD. They sure have gone up sinces we cruised with Royal 2 years ago.

fishtaco Posted November 14, 2017 Author #27 Share Posted November 14, 2017 yes I was confused with the cruise oil cans and yes its fosters but in the early 80,s VB was sold in only a few places in WA and it came in the same oil can size as the fosters but there were no fosters cans that big then.

The_Big_M Posted November 14, 2017 #28 Share Posted November 14, 2017 If that's the price list from an Australian sailing as it appears to be, then there is no gratuity - that price is all inclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottygirl1 Posted November 14, 2017 #29 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I love that sailing out of NZ or Australia is all inclusive. This business of adding gratuity to everything is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted November 15, 2017 #31 Share Posted November 15, 2017 It would be nice if you get this type of package on board - and at that price. https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-liquor/liquor-detail/ps/p/international-beer-pack-12-x-330ml355ml/ Makes ya wonder how much the cruise lines are making on alcohol. Nice little Chrissie present. I buy the Aldi Scotch - Highland Earl $28.99 - good stuff, I mix with dry ginger ale. . Their Highland Earl 8 year old is even better at $34.99, drink that on the rocks. The more you drink the more you save.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted November 15, 2017 #32 Share Posted November 15, 2017 They have to make up for the heavily discounted base fares some way or another. The main reason why P&O UK has reinforced it BYO alcohol policy from 1 Feb next year. Also to reduce the impact of the weekend booze cruises, yes they have them too.

Rare MicCanberra Posted November 15, 2017 #34 Share Posted November 15, 2017 If that's the price list from an Australian sailing as it appears to be, then there is no gratuity - that price is all inclusive. There would normally be a note at the very bottom of the page of the menu to state if a gratuity is to be added. I cannot tell if it is there or not but likely not in this case.

I cannot tell if it is there or not but likely not in this case. For the US ones it will state that as it is additional. On the Australian ones it doesn't have the note as the final price is inclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floridamarie Posted November 17, 2017 #38 Share Posted November 17, 2017 So we sailed in September with full drink package. This allows for a $12 glass of wine included in package. Look at the menu prices-that is the lowest price glass of wine and it is the cheap brands I don’t even by at home. Also at that price there is only 1 Pinot, 1cab available. Anything else is an up charge. If your a cocktail drinker, package was great. As a wine drinker, it was disappointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
