Can anyone tell me the price of margaritas and bloody marys?

The Ultimate Bloody Mary is $7.50. The Patron Perfect Margarita is $9.25. There may be "house" versions of these drinks that are less expensive.

I kept getting this same response until today. Successfully purchased the Replenish this morning for cruise leaving in 5 days.:D:D:D:

 

Replenish is up for me to purchase today, too!

 

And so is the Ultimate. I won't be getting it, but to know they are all there is very nice.

 

Gotta talk to DH about ordering Replenish for DS. There are ingredient issues, so really the only likely thing DS can drink is water. And I don't think he'll drink enough bottled water consistently enough to make up for the $20/day (DH and I will so we'll both be getting Replenish).

 

Anyone know if the "freshly squeezed OJ" is actually squeezed freshly, or was it squeezed at a factory, sweetened, packaged and shipped?

Just looking to confirm this from someone who might know: When I went on to check out the packages, I see I can now purchase the Premium or Ultimate package for just one of us in the cabin. Is that something that changed? Before when I looked at this on my booking, it would only allow checking the "Everyone" block and the single names where grayed out.

The new packages do NOT require everyone in the cabin to purchase a package.

FYI on Oasis now and all smooth with new packages. We opted for Rpyal Replenishment and paying wine and drinks separately and so far it's a good choice for us. I have heard NO complaints whatsoever from anyone thus far.

 

Can you please tell me if "premium coffee" means that lattes and cappcuinos are included? I'm strongly considering the Royal Replenishment for our upcoming Oasis cruise, but I would like more detailed information on the coffee options. Thanks!

I saw someone reported that latte, cappucino, and expresso is included in the Replenishment package.

Yes, the premium coffees are lattes, etc....but not at Starbucks on those ships that have them. I believe that Oasis has a Starbucks and thus would not be included.

I spoke with C&A yesterday to confirm what is included with the Replenish Package. It says specialty coffees and she said - it includes Starbucks coffees served by their baristas but Does NOT include coffees served at the Starbucks counter on board. Also, the cocktails are all non-alcoholic cocktails but she specifically said it did NOT include non-alcoholic FROZEN cocktails. I think I have changed my mind and will not pay the extra $94.50 for the week - I'm sticking with the Refresh (soda only) package.

There still seems to be confusion surrounding whether frozen drinks are included in the replenish package :confused:. I did email RCCL and was advised that it DOES include frozen drinks (non-alcoholic). Here's a copy of the response, hope this is the case:p:

 

Thank you for your email.

 

We apologize for the extended delay in our response. More customers than ever before are choosing the convenience of email as their primary mode of communication. As a result, the turnaround time for responses has increased. Acknowledging that this delay is unacceptable regardless of cause, we hope you will accept our apologies, and believe that this is not indicative of the level of service we strive to provide. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

On the website it reads that frozen drinks are included. Additionally, there are people who have come back to report that they had this package on their recent cruise and were able to get frozen drinks. Sadly, it sounds as if the C&A representative that you spoke with wasn't completely knowledgeable. From the Royal website:

Well that sounds promising. Thanks for the info!

 

Aha, should have remembered to ask...how much is such an orange juice onboard? And where do you get it?

Around $4 per glass, available in Windjammer and Main Dining Room.

I just came back from a 5 night on the LOS last week. I bought the Replenish (I think? The $20 non alcoholic package) and was able to get frozen drinks from the bars and specialty coffees from their counter easily. We did check our bill and one charge did make it on, which they easily reversed. They seemed to be having problems a few times when I ordered. They said it was coming up as a charge even though I had the package. Hope that helps :)

How the heck do i know what are $10 and under drinks? :( Not thrilled with that price cap just because it makes it more difficult to know what is in and what is out. Any one know what puts a drink over $10??

 

Good to see someone from our roll call (Oct 26 TA) on this topic. Hopefully we'll learn lots and lots before our cruise.

It would be helpful if someone could post some pictures of the drink and wine menus. I am interested in types of wine and prices for the beer and wine package so that we can sample some before purchasing.

Not going to post a photo but on the Oasis a friend took a photo of the Globe and Atlas pub menu the highest priced drink was 9.50 for a James Bond martini. A crown royal old fashion was 8.25. Also did a search for Royal Caribbean cocktail menu came up with the following page. I gave it a glance and it should be what you want.
