mildew1951 Posted February 11, 2015 #551 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This thread is very helpful, so thank you to everyone for the information! Can anyone please tell me if the Royal Replenish includes bottled "still" water (good old regular spring water) and not just sparkling? We have 2 minors with us and want to be able to get regular bottled water for them but the current flyer states sparkling. DH and I will be purchasing Ultimate packages for ourselves.;) Thanks! Yes it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruises are the best Posted February 11, 2015 #552 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) How can they control that only one person buys it and gives drinks to another person in statroom time to time? Is there a limit per day? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited February 11, 2015 by Cruises are the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXBBQDUDE Posted February 11, 2015 #554 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Can I upgrade packages in the middle of the cruise if I want too and pay the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlipp Posted February 11, 2015 #556 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I just went to book the premium package, it is up to $809.48 for 2 instead of $788.90. Looks like they increased the gratuity from 15% to 18%. This is the second increase in the past few months. Now I am really wondering if it is worth it. From what I have been reading the service has decreased also....UGHHHH:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andie272 Posted February 11, 2015 #561 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Wow, I guess it ads up quick Exactly why I think we decided not to get it. We never have a bar tab that high for the 2 of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarcbie Posted February 11, 2015 #562 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This increase might be a deal-breaker for us too. Enough is enough....Our group of five had planned on purchasing the ultimate package @ $55 x 15%=$63.25 or 7 nights @ $442.75 pp, couple rate @ $885.50. It's expensive but we were splurging. Blah bah...vacation...blah. NOW with the NEW 18% rate, it's $64.90 pp, weekly @ $454.30 or per couple @ $908.60 (Yes, the difference is $23.10 (couple rate). Well here's a thought, if this INCREASE is suppose to be no big deal for us paying passengers--Royal should use some of their tax free/high profits to compensate their staff instead of pushing the salary increase onto the passengers.

Mooguy Posted February 11, 2015 #563 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Exactly why I think we decided not to get it. We never have a bar tab that high for the 2 of us. Buy the drink packages for the three and four day sailings but don't think I could get my moneys worth on a seven day sailing especially with 3-4 port days. I might consider it if there was a private island stop where the drinks are included in the package on the island.

stlipp Posted February 11, 2015 #565 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We wanted to splurge this one cruise and see how it went. I wanted to be able to try a bunch of different drinks and not worry about the cost. I don't think I can drink that many drinks a day EVERY DAY to make it worth. Too bad they won't let you pick which days you want the package and which days you don't and charge just for those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO the free ice tea, lemonade and water and my sacred free coffee, is what we usually drink on a cruise, with a couple of drinks each a day. Plus a bottle or 2 to take into port. How much is an average drink? I like either wine or the fruity drink of the day and DH like a rum and coke or a LI Ice Tea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, individuals can buy the package. There is no need for everyone in your stateroom to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wldcatz Posted February 25, 2015 #573 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Could someone share current bar prices (roughly)? We are sailing on Allure in April and I'm currently doing cruise math to determine whether or not to get the beverage package. Frozen pool drinks, beer and bourbon will be consumed most frequently. Thanks to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
