Drinks IOS UK Sailing

[Peewee14]

Hi Everyone, I know the drinks package question comes up very often, so I have searched for this before I came here to post the Question.

 

We sail on Indy from Southampton on the 23rd August, this will be our second time, and I know the drinks packages have changed slightly.

 

I have been looking into the Royal Replenish package, and it does say bottled water included, still and sparkling, but I just wondered if anyone can tell me how this works?

 

Is it like ordinary drinks where you can just get one drink per visit at the bar, or can you get a few bottles to take to the room? Indeed can you order it from room service included in the package?

 

I am just wondering if we need to add an additional water package as we do like lots of bottled water available in the room.

 

Final question is the mini bar in the room included in this package?

 

Please remember I am cruising from the UK, so not sure if the same rules apply as to when sailing from Florida

 

Thanks in advance for any help

I just went up to the cafe on the promenade and they passed me a bottle from the fridge. simples.. :D

 

Room service and mini bar are NOT included

Thanks for the reply Craig,

 

Just guessing then that if i want a few bottles for the room at night just "collect" a few throughout the day?

Exactly :) .

 

Just make sure your room steward knows you have the package. My sister in her cabin had the drinks package and they tried to charge mini bar as water is the same as in the mini bar. Next time I'd get them to clear the fridge and just stock like you say. You also get the soda drinks flask as well

Thanks again Craig,

 

One more question if you dont mind regarding the soda flask/cup you mentioned. I dont drink alcohol so in the evening I would drink a diet coke for example, will they serve this to me in a glass or do i have to use the soda flask?

It's up to you how you want your drink served. Ask for a glass of coke or hand over the cup/flask for it to be filled.

Thank you Mim!

I also have a question re this , I have the royal replenish package ... So as I understand room service food is included but if I want a drink I can't order that ? So if I order room service food I will be charged for a soft drink?

That is correct, if you order a soft drink from room service, you will be charged. However, you can get coffee, hot tea, iced tea, lemonade, and milk from room service for no extra charge.

What about bottled water from room service?

As per my original answer . The packages do not apply to any room service or mini bar items. Only those drinks from the bars and restaurants onboard.

Yeah but you get water even if you don't have a drinks package surely?

Tap water yes. But you can get that in your stateroom :D

Aaah I see , thanks very much you've probably saved me a large bill I will remember to take bottled water back to the room. Thanks 👍
