Upgrading the Signature Beveage Package

[Cruise Arizona]

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand time, so if someone can just point me to the existing thread that would be fine.

 

If I have the Explore 4 Signature Beverage package and my higher shelf vodka's are not included in it, is there a Premium Beverage package to which I can pay to upgrade, or am I just stuck paying full price for those drinks?

You can't upgrade. However, there are a lot of vodkas that are included:

 

Smirnoff, Absolut, Absolut Mandarin, Citron, and Vanilla, Finland, Sky, Sky Pineapple, Stolichnaya, Tanqueray Sterling, Ketel One, Vox, Grey Goose, Grey Goose Le' Orange, Citron, Pear.

 

Over Limit: Chopin, Belvedere.

 

So unless you had your heart set on Chopin or Belvedere, you should be okay.

HAL has only one Signature Beverage Package.

Can you pay the difference per drink? In other words, the package covers the first seven bucks (or whatever the limit is) and the remainder is charged to your account.

No. As POA said, you can't upgrade. Either the drink is under the $8 limit, and you can use the SBP, or it isn't, and you use your cabin card and charge it to your account.

Is there a list of which drinks or brands of alcoholic beverages are covered so we can know ahead before we arrive on ship?

Here are the current bar menus that I have scanned (It has been reported that prices are up around 55 cents per drink but price limit has been raised to $8 for SBP):

Yes. So, just look at the menu prices to determine if you're covered. You don't have to do the tip calculation.
