** Official 2015 New Bar Menu thread....Prices, Drinks, and package info

[John&LaLa]

Does the soda package allow you to get a large thermal mug filled? That might save a lot of trips back and forth to the bar and keep your ice from melting on a pool day. Or do you need to use the souvenir cup specifically?

 

Bar should fill your mug. Won't work in freestyle machine though

[Lionesss]

Also, you could go to the bar and ask for a soda, no ice in it , and then ask for a glass of ice and put the two in your mug.

 

Good luck.

Hi Gunters Oma

First time cruiser so just a couple of questions regarding drinks. What drinks are included on a cruise? Are the soft drinks $2.25 a can plus gratuities (which I believe is 18%) or if I have prepaid tips and gratuities are the cans just $2.25. Totally confused as to how this works. Any information you have will be helpful. Thanks

Water (not bottled), lemonade, ice tea, regular coffee, hot tea are included for free.

Your tips and gratuities that you paid are for the housekeeping staff and the dining staff that will be serving you throughout the cruise. I believe the cost of most drinks listed includes the tip for the bar staff.

 

I don't know about the exact price of a soft drink can that you listed - so I don't know if it includes the tip already in that price or not. Where did you find that price?

[counsdr]

You might want to look into the drink packages, rather than worry about the prices. Sometimes Royal runs a special on them. We found that although we weren't big drinkers, it was better for us to get the drink package which also included the soda cup to be used in the special machines on board.

Good luck and enjoy your cruise!!!!

Hi MNfamilycruiser, lucky you going away in 2 days. If you can let us know when you get back about prices of drinks that would be awesome and if they have any specials during your cruise. Thanks heaps and happy holidays

[sc1349]

I don't understand the beer sizes. What is a pint size?

[John&LaLa]

I don't understand the beer sizes. What is a pint size?

 

An American pint is 16 ounces. Most American beers are 12 ounces, but Royal uses the aluminum bottles which are pints. Glass is frowned upon on the pool deck.

[Cabansail]

A "proper" pint is 20oz :D

[karansue]

Are you allowed to get shots of liquor like rum and tequila with the drink plans?

I asked about the soda cans - they were $2.66 with gratuity.

No specials - if you mean sales - but they really wouldn't have needed to. This was a 3 day Halloween cruise and they sold PLENTY without and special sales ;)

[summerholidays]

Thanks for the update. Appreciated

[Goodtime Cruizin]

Yes. You will not have an issue.

I've only sailed RCCL once and going on the Enchantment of the Seas in January. I purchased the Premium Beverage Package, are the packages "unlimited" number of drinks? Carnival has a limit of 15 drinks in a 24 hours period...and I understand that you can be cut off if you appear intoxicated.

Unlimited drinks, though they will only allow one drink at a time. Also, the packages do not cover drinks from room service and from your stateroom mini-bar.

Apologies if this was already stated....didnt read thru entire thread, but no more of the wonderful flavors of the Cruzan rums onboard... RCCL have removed them all, no mango rum etc, which I always had as part of my Mango Mai Tai, and Mango Mojito! I substitute now with the mango vodka they have but its not as good..... imho... who oh why did they discontinue all the cruzan flavors....:(

[Pacificlander]

Can someone verify if the drink prices are still the same? $10 each is what

someone said in March, have they gone up?

Cocktails were $10 to $12 on our recent Vision cruise.

[Pacificlander]

Thanks Bob, that will help with our decision on whether to buy a beverage package or not.

were these frozen or mixed drinks? i'm assuming that includes gratuities? we are sailing Monday and my friends are freaking out because posters on another site were saying they paid up to $20 for a drink. I trust you more because you always give sound answers. :)

[seguincruiser]

First time cruising with RCL. We're sailing the Oasis of the Seas Oct 2016 and want to know can we get BBCs and Miami Vices? Are there only certain bars that sell frozen drinks? There are some interesting drinks on the menu that I think we'll try but those two are our favorite.

I don't want to jump into Bob's answer, but most cocktails will run around $10 and $12 + gratuities. Only the very basic simple drinks will be less than that. The easiest way that I can think of the $20 drink is that if the poster was Canadian, and a $12 drink plus grats is $14.16 USD and that equals about $19.40 CAD

 

Even a mimosa (few ounces of champagne and orange juice) goes for $12. So for a Canadian couple to each have a celebratory mimosa for breakfast will run $40 CAD.:eek:
