Drinks package question not seen an answer too

I see people have referenced one drink at a time but how soon after you got your last drink can you get another drink? For example what if I am at breakfast and want fresh squeezed orange juice and a specialty coffee? Will they limit me to one or the other?

 

 

Whenever we sail, I get the Replenish package. I have ordered a latte, fresh squeezed orange juice, and a bottle of san pellegrino at breakfast. I've not had a problem getting all three at the same time.

 

Additionally, I have gone to the bars (casino, pool, etc) and asked for a bottle of san pellegrino and a bottle of water. Depending on the bartender, some will give me both at the same time, and some will not.

Following as I am having trouble deciding this as well. As for specialty coffee someone posted a Starbucks menu but another said that Starbucks isn't included in any of the unlimited packages. Can someone clarify as I am trying to decide if it is worth it.

The Starbucks question is confusing because it depends on the ship.

 

If you are cruising on Indy, then all specialty coffees (including those that use Starbucks coffee beans) are included in the Replenish and Ultimate packages.

Thank you so much. I am indeed on the Indy and it is my first one. I have to admit all this planning is a bit overwhelming. I would be lost without this site and you guys.

Please let us know when you get back. Will you ask one more question for me please?

If the after-dinner Shooters (such as B-52, Italian Stallion, Blue Eyed Blonde) are included with the Premium Package? I have read conflicting reports on this. Thanks!!

Yes, the after dinner shots (and basically any shots) are included in your Premium package. What is NOT included is the special shooter glass. If you want the after dinner shots, make sure your drink waiter knows to bring them in regular shot glasses rather than the special souvenir shot glasses. Unless you want to pay for the shot glass additionally.

We have enjoyed the after dinner shots on every cruise we have had the package since they introduced them. B-52 is my husbands favorite shot, and he gets them all over the ship....

Thanks, reedprincess! We do love our after-dinner shots too, and B-52 is one of our favorites as well!

Do you know, or can you tell me where to find, the actual list of liquors served onboard, i.e. Seagrams VO? We will be on Navigator next month, and probably will all get the Premium Package (5 couples) and between the 10 of us we have varied tastes. Vodka drinkers who would like Grey Goose or Kettle One, Bourbon drinkers who would like Makers Mark or Wild Turkey, Bourbon blend drinker who only drinks Seagrams VO, Scotch drinkers who would like Dewars or Glenfiddich. I know this information must be out there somewhere but I have searched and have not been able to find it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I loved the Italian Stallion shooter I got using my Premium Package on the Oasis for the after-dinner shooter of the night. I asked several bartenders for it on the Independence last year and not a single one knew what was in it. They asked me, but of course I did not have a clue. Just know that I loved it. Just tell your bar server or waiter you want the after-dinner shooter every night of the cruise in a non-collectible glass and it will come with your dessert nightly and be included in your package you paid for. Enjoy.

Take a look about 9 photos down in Gambee's drink list:

I've seen mixed answers and documentation on this...

 

Is small water bottles (500ml) still included in the premium beverage package?

 

Thanks.

Yes, the small bottles of still water are included in the Premium package.

Ok so does anyone know if you go for the Premium vs Ultimate other than the Starbucks (on Independence) is there really anything else to justify the $7.90 difference? I am torn between the two. Also when it says juice is the juice bar by the pool on Indy included? Thank you so much for your help.

The Ultimate adds fresh squeezed OJ, specialty coffee/tea, and bottled sparkling water. I believe some juices at Squeeze on the pool deck are included, but not things like protein shakes.

So the drinks you are referring to at Squeeze are included in the Ultimate not the Premium? Just getting clarification.

Hi, both those links are to blank pages, maybe because I am down under ?

Must be, because they are working for me. Here is what they say:

 

Q: Can we purchase the package for selected days?

 

A: Onboard, the all-inclusive packages are available for purchase throughout the voyage with at least 4 days remaining. Must be purchased for the duration of the cruise; prorated price based on date of purchase.

 

Q: What if i already purchased the premium package online and would like to upgrade to the ultimate package?

 

A: Guests who have pre-purchased the premium package can upgrade to the ultimate package onboard. Guests will be charged the $10/day price difference.

I'm pretty sure my fiance and I will each purchase the Ultimate package on our February cruise. Really like the idea of indulging without worries :) Thinking it's best to buy it the Monday morning after we sail as I do not think we would get much use out of it the Sunday we embark.

 

Can anyone tell me if there is a Starbucks on the Navigator of the Seas? Am I right that all coffee (even Starbucks) is included in the Ultimate package? I should probably ask what's NOT included in the Ultimate package? From what I gather it may only be protein shakes???

There is no Starbucks branded venue on Navigator. However, Cafe Promenade may use Starbucks beans in their specialty coffee items.
