sollan Posted October 21, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I love to have a Campari with orange juice, a glas of bubbles and enjoy a glass of dessert wine after dinner. Are any of these included in the complimentery drinks? It looks like Campari isn't included but I'm not sure. Have been looking on the beverage packages but it seems that I can't get what I want in one package. It's easier on Celebrity where the packages includes different kinds of drinks/wine per glass up to a certain price. Also wonder if anyone has drink list with prices? Or have experienced any of the packages. Very greatful for help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sollan Posted October 21, 2015 Author #2 Share Posted October 21, 2015 There is no info (that I can find anyway) if the prices listed on the website includes gratitude or not. I wonder because it's clearly stated that the spa prices doesn't include the gratitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted October 21, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Gratuities are included in the price of the package . When you order thru Beverage Package , they don't even give you a bill to sign. If you go over the beverage limit then you'll be charged gratuity on the overage.

sollan Posted October 21, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks! A bit surprised that Campari is concidered to be a premium liqour though...:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted October 21, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2015 What's included and what's not seems a bit arbitrary - vermouth included but Dubonnet and Campari not! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk123 Posted October 21, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Premium Package - $15,95 Per Person/Per day In this the Campari is in. I think it cost seperate $ 4,95 (without the fee) Top Shelf Package - $18,95 Per Person/Per Day In this package is (as an example) Grand Marinier and cost seperate $ 5,95 (without the fee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually find that the included drinks (with occasional purchases of anything not included) are fine for us. Campari is, I think, $4.95 for a single (25ml?) measure. Sparkling wines ( Prosecco, Champagne, Cava etc) are, sadly, not inclusive. Dessert wines are extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not correct - unlike Celebrity you are not charged gratuities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer1568 Posted October 22, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 22, 2015 No not correct - unlike Celebrity you are not charged gratuities Also, you pay for a drink that is not included in the package at whatever the price of the drink ...not the OVERAGE as is the policy on some other cruise lines.

sollan Posted October 22, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thanks to all! Wouldn't know what to do without CC! It's a bit confusing with the gratitudes... I'm not used to have them added (it's always included in listed prices here) so I had to learn that 15-18% is added on top for drinks and other purchases onboard while cruising. And now it's back to normal (for me) - the price stated on drink lists is what I pay. Have I now understood this right...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sollan Posted October 23, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Probably if you order a drink with a liqour thats not included in the package, you will be charged the cost. Edited October 23, 2015 by sollan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted October 23, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Drinks over a certain price aren't included in the beverage package (Celebrity Classic ). This package doesn't allow drinks over $9 USD. If over they are treated like a normal order and a gratuity I'd paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceind Posted October 23, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 23, 2015 If you only order drinks listed as those listed as included, is there any limit as to how many drinks consumed through the course of the day, and can you have several glasses of wine with lunch or dinner?

There is no limit, only obviously through adherence to their conduct policy! :eek: At lunch and dinner the Waiters and Sommeliers are very generous with the inclusive wine; I've certainly never had a problem.

Yes, but this is Azamara, it's completely different as others have said, there is NO gratuity charged on any drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpymuffin Posted October 24, 2015 #19 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If not orderable online, how/where do we sign up for a premium (beer) package the first day of the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted October 24, 2015 #20 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If not orderable online, how/where do we sign up for a premium (beer) package the first day of the cruise? As soon as you check in there will be very visible tables where you can sign up for drinks packages. Don't worry....you won't miss them! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't hit the tables at checkin just stop at any bar. The bartender will be glad to sign you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Librarian Posted October 26, 2015 #22 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Can I buy a bottle of liqour on board with my OBC? We think the included liquor will suit us for the most part, but DH and I like a drink while getting dressed for dinner and would rather mix our own than have a couple delivered every night. Thanks!

Grandma Cruising Posted October 26, 2015 #23 Share Posted October 26, 2015 You can take bottles on board so long as you drink it in your stateroom. You can always call at the bar on the way to your stateroom and take a drink there yourself. I presume you can buy a bottle on board, but have never asked!

Grandma Cruising Posted October 26, 2015 #25 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Wasn't really thinking of buying a bottle from the shop, but you may be able to buy a bottle from the ship/bar. On Holland America we have bought a bottle of gin from the ship, then ordered tonics on room service - worked out a lot cheaper than buying drinks at the bar!
