All the Eclipse Cafe al Bacio menus -- photographed -- dec 2017

Thank you Cruisestitch. Nice job.......

Café Olé and Café Kingston are $9 and are included in the Classic Package. They were very good on our last march cruise on Eclipse.

Thanks for posting the menus,,,easy to read,!

We'll give the Kingston a try,,.

Would the Aspen be only a dollar upcharge? We really enjoy it...but Kingston also sounds nice,.

From what I heard, the upcharge is only from the premium package to the next one up, whatever the name is. If you have a classic package, you pay the full cost of the drink if it is not included in the package. Anyone else has actual experience in this situation ?

I like the Cafe Mocha with Cookies and a Coconut Macaroon

There is no "next one up". The Premium package has a price ceiling of $13 for all alcoholic drinks and you pay the difference plus 18% gratuity for drinks priced above $13 - a $15 glass of wine with the Premium package would cost an additional $2.36.

They changed the Classic up-charge policy sometime in 2016 when they changed the Classic price ceiling to $9 for all alcoholic drinks. You now only pay the difference plus the associate 18% gratuity - a $12 martini will cost you an additional $3.54.

Got it ! Thanks for the update. We have the classic package on the upcoming Baltic cruise June 17, so it's good to have the current rules. Is it still possible to upgrade to Premium for the last 4 days of the cruise, for one of the two people in the cabin ?

Yes

Thanks for taking the time to post these. They are really useful for us first timers.

We were just on the Silhouette in April and we had the classic drink package. Several evenings we had the Affogato with Kahlua over the top at no extra charge. So delicious.

I hope this can be done in a single post otherwise I will create a series

Thanks so much!! Very helpful.

As I understand I can get any drink $9 or below included. And pay the difference for a higher priced drink.

Gelato included??

Gelato included?? No. However, if you are Elite or higher, you get one free scoop.

You used to be able to get the Affogato with the classic package, which was espresso poured over gelato.  So you could get gelato included that way.
