Wilkono Posted November 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hey Surf Chick. I was just looking for exactly the same thing, and came across this menu: It doesn't have beer or wine prices, but the cocktails sound incredible. The prices have gone up a bit from what I understand, but since it's my first cruise, I'll just tell myself that I don't know any better and forget about the price hike :P EDIT: Forgot to say, I think I've seen the cheapest beer quoted at $4.75 (Victoria Bitter) with Corona's being a few dollars more. Basic spirits (again, just from memory) are about $6.75. There was a post about it, but I've lost the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yulara336 Posted November 8, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2009 It was fairly expensive but we live at Ayers Rock Resort and the prices here are even more expensive, even for staff Cocktails range from $8-$15 Cans of soft drink are $3.50 We only drank sparkling at dinner and it was $26 a bottle, mid price which wasnt too bad The cocktails are good though and no watered down like you would expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellyrox Posted November 11, 2009 #6 Share Posted November 11, 2009 If you're talking about the posts of theids that are still here, I have actually said I am happy to keep them up - I figure its a good warning for anyone considering copying other people's stuff, right? And an apology to anyone who had to see any posts, I am normally much more easy going!! And the offer does still stand that if anyone wants a copy of the drink menus just email me at bellyrox at hotmail dot com - the only thing is it might take me a day or two to get them to you, just trying to get through my final uni assessment at the moment!!

austraveller Posted December 18, 2009 #17 Share Posted December 18, 2009 those cocktails prices dont look too bad! ive paid a lot more than that for a cocktail. oooh and some look delicious!! and i guess i can resort to a few beers some nights. and this is why my dollar shop tin that i put loose change in is called "the slush fund" hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlock Posted December 19, 2009 #18 Share Posted December 19, 2009 What ship were you on with $4.50 coronas?!:eek: That's insanely cheap, on Pacific Dawn+Sun and the Princess ships they were about $7.50 each or something like that Im not a beer drinker, but 2 of our group were drinking corona's, & on my round i was only charged $4.50 for their 2 & $7.75 ea for 2 cocktails. so maybe the barman got it wrong. anyway it was a good cruise, just a little disappointed in some of the service, our cabin steward was a little slow bringing beachtowels so we helped ourselves off his trolley, he didnt mind after the 2nd helping. In palm court dining room the 2 best waiters are Godson & Sydney, very entertaining & attentive. it was my Sons 21st birthday just b4 we sailed, they organised a cake & sang at the table. nice surprise as i thought it was only actual birthdays on board get celebrated. most of out group still have the opinion that Sky had better service. it was anolder ship but better set out & service was exceptional, but just my opinion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzaw Posted December 19, 2009 #19 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I got charged $5.25 for a XXX Gold!!!! Normally, I would want someone to pay me $5 to drink that stuff - I thought I was getting a XXXX Bitter :o Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fascist Posted June 8, 2010 #20 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'd love to see an actual list of what is available onboard Pacific Dawn in the way of beer. I'm a beer snob and the list above is uninspiring. Does anyone have a current list? I'm a cruise virgin, so this will be my first cruise in September.
