Serenade Drink Package: How does it work?

[cruisinfly]

I purchased the premium drink package (20% discount) on the Serenade. I have some questions:

 

--How does it work when I'm onboard?

--How do I know what drinks I can order?

--Do the menus identify what's included in your drink package?

--Are all (included) drinks available in every venue? (all bars, restaurants, cafes)

--They say premium coffee is NOT included, what about coffee with booze in it from the bar? Also espresso drinks with booze from the bar?

 

I did the analysis and while I won't make out like a bandit (we're not huge drinkers), I will really enjoy ordering any drink and not worrying about additional cost. It should be cheaper for me in the long run if I enjoy at least 4 drinks + bottled water each day.

 

Thank you!

--How does it work when I'm onboard? You order a drink, they scan your SeaPass card, and you don't add to your bill.

--How do I know what drinks I can order? Menus.

--Do the menus identify what's included in your drink package? Yes, if the cocktails or galsses of wine are less than $12, they are included.

--Are all (included) drinks available in every venue? (all bars, restaurants, cafes) No, there are differences venue to venue.

--They say premium coffee is NOT included, what about coffee with booze in it from the bar? Included. Also espresso drinks with booze from the bar? Not included.

Thank you!

Thank you, Bob. How do you know which venues you are able to use your drink package?

Thank you, Bob. How do you know which venues you are able to use your drink package?

Sorry, I misunderstood your question about venues.

 

You can use the packages in all venues, subject to the value limits of the package. However, you cannot use the package for room service or for items in your stateroom mini-fridge.

Thank you again, Clarea! (I'm not sure why I though you were Bob, my apologies.)

I am Bob, but some people cannot see my name in my signature as the phone type apps don't show signatures.

He is Bob with 'Clarea'--apparently a rare skin disorder but still lovable and chock full of Info (also fastest to answer any question on the Royal version of CC)
