Hot chocolate free in Alaska?

[lightsleeper]

Do they charge for the hot chocolate they serve on deck when on ship in Alaska? If so, does anyone know how much....Trying to decide on purchasing soft drink card.

Nothing is free but lots of things are included in your fare. There is a hot chocolate dispenser outside the hamburger/hot dog grill where you can self serve your hot chocolate which is included.

Hot chocolate is not included with Unlimited Soda Package. $5.18/person/day, but is with the Unlimited Soda and More Package, $8.05/person/day.

 

That being said, there was complementary hot chocolate available in the HC on the Golden and at least several other ships in Alaska last year. As far as I know this is only done in Alaska.

Hot chocolate is included in the Ultimate package that also includes mocktails. It is $7 per day ($8.05 per day when gratuity is added). You can then get hot chocolate at the International Cafe.

Both cruises that I've been on in Alaska included complimentary hot chocolate on scenic cruising days from carts that are being wheeled around the pool deck and the Promenade. They also offer adult hot drinks too (for a fee of course)! 'Twas nice sipping on an Irish Coffee whilst gazing at the Marjorie Glacier...:)

Just got back from my first Princess cruise and also enjoyed the Marjorie Glacier and saw the hot chocolate carts. I also noticed all the booze bottles and thought it was all for a FEE ONLY. Oh well . . . live and learn. :)

In this photo you can see the roaming cart that offers free hot chocolate. It's at the bottom of the photo, just to the left of the A-frame sign. The only day I remember seeing it was while we were scenic cruising through Glacier Bay National Park.

Thanks for posting! That picture is awesome!

 

I'm excited now about hot chocolate on glacier bay day on our upcoming cruise. :)

Do they hand out pea soup, or is that only Holland America?

Hot chocolate has always been free in the MDR at breakfast on all Princess ships I have sailed on. They bring you a big pot of it and it is delicious. I got some nearly daily on the Golden in December. They used to have instant hot chocolate packets in the buffet at breakfast, but I haven't eaten breakfast in the buffet for so long I am not sure they do this any longer.

The packets used to be next to the teas in the HC all day but no more. I think they disappeared about two years ago.

Hot chocolate can be found in th HC ( buffet) or you can purchase a coffee card and get in the lounge or IC where you get the speciality coffees.

Any idea if this is available as a room service (non-suite) option for free?

I have not ordered breakfast from room service in over a year, but free hot chocolate was available for breakfast via room service last time I tried.

On our first Alaskan cruise in 2001 I remember the hot chocolate cart going around while we watched the beautiful scenery. Enjoyed quite "adult" hot chocolates as well!
