happy cruzer Posted September 3, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi, It's nice to see the included beverages on O. Any recent cruisers care to share details? What beverages are included? Still and sparkling water? Size of water bottles? Ginger ale? club soda? Juices? How and from whom do you order? for cabin, at buffet, in restaurants? Is one place easier than another to get a beverage? i.e. less trouble for you and the server. Do you tend to tip for the now included beverages? Sorry for so many questions, but am very curious on O how is doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2010 What beverages are included? Still and sparkling water? Size of water bottles? Ginger ale? club soda? Juices? All of those, Juice may be available during breakfast but you can always ask for it at other times We have never asked for it during the day How and from whom do you order? for cabin, at buffet, in restaurants? There is Water, 2 small Bottles & 1 large & assorted sodas in your cabin ...your stewardess will replace them as needed or you can request just the ones you prefer. You can ask in the dining venues & bars Is one place easier than another to get a beverage? i.e. less trouble for you and the server. NO not to my knowledge, just ask Do you tend to tip for the now included beverages? I think it is included in the current gratuities .... which has just gone up I believe Sorry for so many questions, but am very curious on O how is doing this. I am sure you could tip extra if you want;) There is also bottled water available as you leave the ship on port days usually small bottles Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutuma Posted September 4, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2010 My husband and I prefer diet coke (or its equivalent) plus diet tonic water. Is that available as part of the "free" soft drink package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahrah50 Posted September 4, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I am a diehard Diet Coke drinker...no diet Pepsi and I had no problems.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 4, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2010 They did have tonic water but never noticed if they had diet TW They did have diet coke & other diet drinks I very seldom drink sodas so did not pay much attention I am sure someone will have the answer for you Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted September 4, 2010 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Can you ask for specific soft drinks ahead of time on Oceania? I usually request diet tonic in advance on Regent just to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted September 15, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted September 15, 2010 So I'm still wondering about the juices such as bloody mary mix? grapefruit juice? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toranut97 Posted September 15, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Just back from Nautica and had loads of Diet Coke available. I advised our steward that we probably would not drink anything else from the minibar and so he stocked it up with Diet Coke for us at all times. Afraid I don't know about the juices, sorry.

Rare LHT28 Posted September 15, 2010 #9 Share Posted September 15, 2010 So I'm still wondering about the juices such as bloody mary mix? grapefruit juice? thanks I would think they would have them at the bar if they were used in mixed drinks. Maybe not the grapefruit juice, it would be available at breakfast or room service but I am sure if you asked a waiter they would find you some ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfirsttimer Posted October 5, 2010 #10 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Just back from Insignia, the only diet drink I saw was diet Coke. Juice was available at lunch and breakfast, orange, apple, tomato, grapefruit, cranberry, lemonade, iced tea and maybe at dinner as well, just never asked for it. You can get sodas in the restaurants or at any of the bars free of charge. Bottled water available in your room or at the gangway each day also free of charge. Small bottles and large bottles.

happy cruzer Posted October 5, 2010 Author #11 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Thanks for the update. I am still really curious about the juices all during the day and evening since the info I have seen says water and soda are included. Especially the bloody mary mix.... Also carbonated water or " Agua con gas"??? Or just still bottled water. I will know first hand soon about one month to go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KS&JW Posted October 6, 2010 #12 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Carbonated water was also free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comcox Posted October 6, 2010 #13 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Does anyone know if they offer cocoa/hot chocolate? If so, in what venues and times? Is it just those awful packets next to a hot water urn or the real thing made with hot milk? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacheco18 Posted October 6, 2010 #14 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Dr. Pepper on board? I know - absurd question --but my husband would be happy if they had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammieK Posted October 6, 2010 #15 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I don't recall any Dr. Pepper, but hot cocoa was always available at the Lido Deck coffee station. The coffee machine that they have offers some sort of coffee/chocolate drink automatically, and pouches of cocoa mix were always there next to the tea bags.

Rare LHT28 Posted October 6, 2010 #16 Share Posted October 6, 2010 . Especially the bloody mary mix.... I am going to say the Bloody Mary Mix may be available but for a fee ...I am not sure..... other virgin cocktails have a fee I am sure you will find out soon enough Enjoy the cruise Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if you ask for hot chocolate in the dining rooms you will get it whether it is real cocoa or packages I do not know If you ask they will tell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAG Posted October 6, 2010 #18 Share Posted October 6, 2010 We just got off Nautica on September 22 and the Terraces has a new Franke coffee machine that is just wonderful. You can get lattes, cappuccinos, coffee both regular and decafe 24 hours a day. I really didn't pay attention to see if it offered hot chocolate or not. The coffee from the machine is much much better than what they pour at breakfast. (Just my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
