Cindyrella Posted January 17, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Heard Rhapsody has these two places but are they free or an extra charge? What about plain ol' coffee at SBC? A little worried if there's an extra charge for Ben & Jerry's the kids will rack up quite a bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted January 17, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I assume all the ships work the same way with Seattle's Best. The regular SBC coffee in the dining room and in the Windjammer was included. The espresso drinks were extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single mom Posted January 17, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Specialty coffees (i.e. lattes, cappucinos cost extra) and Ben & Jerrys also costs extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm9999 Posted January 17, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2005 On Enchantment they had a Seattles Best stand, I think it was on deck 6. Not sure if Rhapsody has the same (they are similar ships), but on Enchantment they charged for all drinks, including regular coffee. If you wanted the free stuff you had to go to the Solarium Cafe.

MrsPete Posted January 17, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Even if it's not available at the buffet, ice cream will probably be on the children's dessert menu in the dining room. I'm a mean mom. I give my kids a generous allowance for vacations (whether it's cruise or non-cruise), and I give them plenty of opportunity to add to that generous amount through extra chores at home in the month or so before we leave. I explain ahead of time what THEY are supposed to pay for out of their own money, and what I will pay for out of family funds. For example, I'd pay for all excursions and meals on excursions; I'd expect them to pay for sodas by the pool, ice creams, video games, and souveniers. They think more when it's THEIR money! I consider it real-world training. Most of us adults do not have unlimited budgets for little treats and luxuries -- why should we allow our children to grow up thinking that the world is like that?

You sound like a great mom! I'm sure your kids aren't the ones running around like little terrors on the ship either. THANK YOU. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyrella Posted January 17, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted January 17, 2005 MrsPete, My kids are 17 & 18 and will be mostly spending their their own money from their part-time jobs. I guess I don't quite understand the sign and sail cards and since they are booked in their own room I assumed they would have their own cards--thought charging something to a card might be a little too easy. This is will go on our list of things to discuss pre-cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
