drink (alcohol) pkg.?

have beverage pkg.....do they add another 15% when you order? so in essance it is costing $63.25 pp per day....not $55

Yes....any beverage, whether by the drink, or in a "package" will have 15% added to the cost, as the tip. That makes tipping when you recieve a drink from a package unnecessary.

not clear...so no additional cost to the pkg. cost of $55 pp per day...except a "volunteer outstanding service " tip...thanks

They add a mandatory 15% gratuity, so you were correct in your first post, $63.25 per day.

We had the package on Indy a few weeks ago, the $55 per day includes tips.

thanks for clarifying that:O),I was thinking,oh no! another$250 in the budget for our 14 day TA-good news...

15% is added to any package when you buy the package. Later, when you actually order a drink that is included in whatever package you have, there is no add'l tip charged/required at that time.

The $55 a day includes the 15%

The $55 a day includes the 15%

Thanks. It was unclear to me if the $55 was inclusive of tip or not. Either way, once you buy the package, non add'l tip is charged/required each time you order a beverage.

The bad news is that the package is only available on 4 ships - the Independence, Splendour, Grandeur and Legend, and only when sailing outside the US.

Once you've purchased the package that is literally it!! You show your card, you get your drink - no signing or extra gratuity. However, it certainly doesn't hurt to give the odd extra tip to any bartenders who give you particularly good service.

Does this pakage include Beer?

Yes it does, but as mentioned above, only on 4 ships sailing in Europe.

actually we have the package on the Adventure out of San Juan on a ta in April....RCI gave it as an incentive for a bal. or higher...14 days x$55 x2...pretty good incentive! wouldn't have paid $1500 for it but hey,it will make a long cruise more interesting...:O)the word is that they don't give it for a cruise beginning in the U.S.

When did they add Grandeur?

When did they add Grandeur?

Can't say when they added it but we bought it on Grandeur this year so it was definitely available

...the word is that they don't give it for a cruise beginning in the U.S.

we have it on the Indy doing it's eastbound TA from Fort Lauderdale in April '13 .. as you did, we got it thrown in with a balcony cabin booking!

Bother! We had it on legend in jan and were hoping it would be on voyager in march, I like the one payment up front not having to worry about pages of bar charges-shame
