Clarea Posted July 25, 2014 #51 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks. I guess I'll try to put some in my luggage or bring some empty refillable bottles. Many report being able to put a luggage tag on a case of water and get it delivered to their stateroom. I'd increase the odds by putting the water in a duffel.

dabucs Posted July 25, 2014 #52 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think you are seeing an old, obsolete document that mentions the $6.50 limit for beer. This past November, Royal changed all the packages, and any value limits associated with beer were removed. If I recall correctly, Foster's Oil Can is the only beer that is excluded.

palofmine Posted July 25, 2014 #53 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The orange squeezing machine is up in the WJ. So it's not available in the MDR. Yes you can buy them onboard. It's very weird that they list out Starbucks specifically, when the wording in person is that "Starbucks" isn't included. On Oasis and Allure, they have Starbucks brand "stores". Your beverage package canNOT be used there. It CAN be used at all the other espresso stands/areas on those ships and on all the other ships. And many of those use Starbucks, or at the very least have Starbucks cups with the green Starbucks straws. So go to the espresso places at Cafe Promenade, etc etc, to get your Starbucks specialty coffees...but do NOT try to use your beverage package at "the Starbucks" store on Oasis or Allure. Exhausting. That's weird cause last year they had a guy coming around mdr with the fresh squeezed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not quite a price thing, they have excluded Guinness and Murphy's either, which are cheaper and also do have less alcohol than Grolsch and Leffe's blond. I guess it's more a brand thing Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpal2208 Posted July 26, 2014 #57 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Can someone tell me if beverages on COCo Cay are included in the packages? We are on the Freedom in November and trying to choose if any of these packages are worth it to us. Thanks in advance for your help Djp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraternal Posted July 27, 2014 #59 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Do you know if Crown Royal and Margaritas are included in premium package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 27, 2014 #60 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Do you know if Crown Royal and Margaritas are included in premium package All cocktails up to $10 are included. If you order a drink that costs more than $10, you only have to pay the difference. Royal has several different kinds or Margaritas, and I believe the most expensive is $9.25, so those would all be included with no extra charge. Don't know about Crown Royal.

I think I saw in one menu online one top-shelf margarita at one of the bars for $10.50, but that would still only cost 50 cents if you really wanted it.

fsjosh Posted July 28, 2014 #63 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The Premium package would generally cover me. The only thing I would want from the replenish package (and hence the upgrade to Ultimate) is Red Bull. So can anyone answer this: If I order a Vodka and Red Bull - is it covered by the Premium package (since it's $10 on the cocktail menu)? I don't really want to pay the extra $10 for the Ultimate just to get the Red Bull. But I will if anything to do with Red Bull is going to be outside the Premium package (the Ultimate is still going to save me money over my usual cruise bar tab). I just have no need at all for sodas, specialty coffees, teas, sparkling water or fresh squeezed OJ. :) Thanks! I'd assume a vodka and red bull would be in the package, but if you wanted a can of red bull it wouldn't, but would like clarification from someone who knows. I'd also like to know how much a can of Red Bull is. Trying to decide between Premium and Ultimate and Red Bull is one of the factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyster Posted July 28, 2014 #64 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Anyone know if cider is available on Jewel? And if it is if it's included in the drink packages? Thanks! I get the feeling it isn't....I asked about angry orchard back in April and it seemed that only ships with an english pub had cider: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1980141 I am hoping that since they are becoming more popular, we will see them more on ships without pubs.

Goodtime Cruizin Posted July 28, 2014 #65 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I think I saw in one menu online one top-shelf margarita at one of the bars for $10.50, but that would still only cost 50 cents if you really wanted it. Four of us oredered a round of margaritas at at specialty restaurant. They were $12/ea. We paid the difference. BTW, they were the best Margaritias we had on the ship all week. Many top shelf beers are now excluded in the Premium pkg. which surprised me. Crown was part of the premium pkg on our last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryBth Posted August 4, 2014 #67 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi Just got off the Explorer, 5 night to Bermuda, July 12 - July 17 I can't figure out how to post the picture of this so I'm going to type some of it out... There was a flyer that on the front talked about the various beverages packages available in summary: Ultimate Package - Virtually unlimited premium liquors & cocktails, Starbucks, beers & wine Premium Package - Call & House brand liquors & cocktails, beers & wines Select Package - Beers & wines only Royal Replenish - Premium Starbucks coffees, soda, freshly squeezed juice & bottled water I'm editing so I don't have to type the whole page but it talks about it being for your own consumption and not sharing, make sure you will be fully satisfied since they can't do refunds, etc. Anyway, the more interesting part of this flyer is the back side of it that has a nice chart listing down the first column the different items available and goes across with a logo to indicate if it's included in that package. I don't think I can create an excel type of chart here so my format will be different but I'll include what the chart says: Royal Replenish: Included: Starbucks Specialty Coffees Non Alcoholic cocktails Fountain Soda Souvenir Soda mug Juices (Minute maid) Fresh Squeezed Orange juice - only in Windjammer Bottled Water Red Bull Non Alcoholic Beer Not Included: Mini Bar / Room Service Canned Soda House Liquors Call Liquors Premium Labels Beer Wines by the Glass Bottle Wine 20% Discount on Bottles of Wine Cocktails Select (Beer): Included Non Alcoholic cocktails Fountain Soda Souvenir Soda mug Beer - under $6.50 Non Alcoholic Beer Wines by the Glass - up to $8 20% discount on bottles of wine Not Included: Mini Bar / Room Service Starbucks Specialty Coffees Canned Soda Juices (Minute maid) Fresh Squeezed Orange juice Bottled Water House liquors Call liquors Premium Labels Red Bull Bottle Wine Cocktails Premium: Included Non Alcoholic cocktails Fountain Soda Souvenir Soda mug Bottled Water House Liquors Call Liquors Premium Labels - Selected Beer - all except Chimay Non Alcoholic Beer Wines by the Glass - up to $12 20% discount on bottles of wine Cocktails Not Included: Mini Bar / Room Service Starbucks Specialty Coffees Canned Soda Juices (Minute maid) Fresh Squeezed Orange juice Red Bull Bottle Wine Ultimate: Included Starbucks Specialty Coffees Non Alcoholic cocktails Fountain Soda Souvenir Soda mug Juices (Minute Maid) Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice - only in Windjammer Bottled Water House Liquors Call Liquors Premium Labels - Selected Beer - all except Chimay Red Bull Non Alcoholic Beer Wines by the Glass - up to $12 20% discount on bottles of wine Cocktails Not Included: Mini Bar / Room Service Canned Soda Bottle Wine I hope you find this useful Noreen Noreen, Can you get the fresh OJ in the WJ anytime of day or only breakfast?

mollyeilis Posted August 4, 2014 #68 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Noreen, Can you get the fresh OJ in the WJ anytime of day or only breakfast? They only seem to man the machine in the mornings, so that's when it is served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted August 4, 2014 #70 Share Posted August 4, 2014 That is too bad. Thank you for the quick reply. If you are on Freedom class, you can get fresh OJ from Squeeze on the pool deck. If you are on Oasis class, you can get it from the Vitality Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just4kixx Posted August 4, 2014 #71 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) SO what would a shot cost to add to my "virgin" frozen cocktail? I'm not trying to sound nit-picky, but I truly am not a big drinker, but I could see wanting a shot in a cocktail occasionally. Thanks!

I'm not trying to sound nit-picky, but I truly am not a big drinker, but I could see wanting a shot in a cocktail occasionally. Thanks! A~ A couple of years ago on the LoS, my brother purchased the basic soda package. The bartenders charged him $1.50 for a generic shot, usually rum or vodka. That being said, when I asked an RCCL agent about the cost of a shot if I were to purchase the RR, I was told I would have to buy the entire drink every time. Not sure if my brother got lucky or if the agent just wanted the upsale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 4, 2014 #74 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm on radiance class. I suspect Windjammer and maybe the MDR might be the only places to get the OJ, and then only at breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
