Memsy87 Posted February 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2014 http://cruisewithgambee.com/royal-caribbean-drink/ Just wondering if any of these prices apply to the Allure of the Seas and how out of date or up to date the prices are? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megr1125 Posted February 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2014 They appear to be current, and accurate.... To be safe, maybe figure an extra dollar, but they look very close to what I saw on some of the drink menus on Grandeur in November.....(I am referring to the mixed drink menu, as opposed to the one with all the beers, but just glancing at all the prices, they're not far off at all.....)

molly361 Posted February 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The beer prices are the same as they were last month. The others look about the same but can't swear to it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroBaldness Posted February 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2014 They do look accurate (thanks for posting that BTW) to cross reference them, try this: http://www.shipcruise.org/royal-caribbean-alcohol-policy-drink-prices/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clean1owner Posted February 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 9, 2014 If they seem to be grossly overpriced, they are accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TryingCruising Posted February 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks for posting this link! I love seeing some options to get me thinking of a cocktail in paradise. Is it bad these drink prices (especially beer) seem reasonably priced to me?:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miccheck Posted February 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2014 If they seem to be grossly overpriced, they are accurate. I've always wondered about this; Do they seem grossly overpriced because everyone that cruises doesn't go to bars? Or is it just that much different where everyone else lives or bars they go to vs where I live and the bars I go to? Outside of the domestic (swill) beer prices everything is on par with what I'm used to paying, nearly to the penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To people like our friends in NY the prices are reasonable or maybe even better.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memsy87 Posted February 9, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hey guys! Thanks to those who have replied. I am glad to see that the prices aren't far from those in the link. I think they're great prices. We are travelling on 27th April Allure for our honeymoon and were weighing up the pros and con of the drinks package. Since we would really avail of the soft drinks/non alcoholic cocktails and water during the day it makes a lot of sense to us. Especially since we will also be drinking alcohol during the evening :-) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaO Posted February 9, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Just a note... when looking at drink prices don't forget they add on a gratuity... Maybe someone can let you know what it is... I just don't remember!! Enjoy Your Cruise!!! The Allure is WONDERFUL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't remember!! Enjoy Your Cruise!!! The Allure is WONDERFUL!!! The gratuity is 15% added to the price of the individual drink. If you buy the package, the gratuity is included You need to calculate that cost when you are looking at prices for individual or packages People report that they like not having to sign the credit slips when they have the package.

wezie Posted February 9, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I've never sailed RCL before...do they have beer buckets or any types of specials if you purchase say a six pack of beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memsy87 Posted February 10, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted February 10, 2014 So, presumably when you buy the Premium Beverage Package all of these drinks are included? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellsop Posted February 11, 2014 #18 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I've never sailed RCL before...do they have beer buckets or any types of specials if you purchase say a six pack of beer? Some brands, some times, some bars. It's not as common as on some other lines. The overriding "feel" of all of RCCL's alcohol policies is trying to make it easy to have a drink, and hard to get into trouble with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the domestic (swill) beer prices everything is on par with what I'm used to paying, nearly to the penny. The wine is 3 times more expensive from what I buy in Portugal (talking about similar wines); cocktails, almost the double, beer, almost 3 times more expensive ;) Special coffee is what we call regular coffee which is less than a dollar. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadvocal Posted February 11, 2014 #20 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Wonder why Bud Light is a dollar more than either Miller Lite or Coors Light? $5.25 vs $4.25 Is Bud Light more popular so they charge more for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nami Posted February 11, 2014 #21 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I've never sailed RCL before...do they have beer buckets or any types of specials if you purchase say a six pack of beer? We bought this beer bucket from Allure sun desk. And got a lot of ice with it :D. I don't remember the price, but It was something like "buy 8, pay 7". You can refill it in any bar. .

I can tell you for a fact that on our Oasis cruise, Coors Light was $5.25 and with tip, total $6.04. The $4.25 quote is probably for a 12 ounce can, whereas the $5.25 is a 16 ounce pounder.

Memsy87 Posted February 11, 2014 Author #23 Share Posted February 11, 2014 When you have the drinks package you don't have to think about the gratuities because they're already included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted February 11, 2014 #24 Share Posted February 11, 2014 If they seem to be grossly overpriced, they are accurate. I'm not far from you over in Wisconsin and I think the prices aren't bad at all. They are almost exactly the same as the prices I pay while going out for dinner. The beer prices might be a little higher, but the mixed drinks and "froo froo" drinks look about the same, if not even a little less than I am used to paying. Either you don't get out much, or you have a favorite bar/restaurant that treats you very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memsy87 Posted February 11, 2014 Author #25 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The beer bucket looks really cool! Pardon the pun lol. That's $9.95 yeah? Providing you have a drinks package you don't have to pay for the bottles , just the bucket ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
