Rare APDMOM Posted May 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Before our Allure cruise, we tried to research prices of drinks to decide whether to buy the package, or not. I found it quite difficult to find bar menus on CC, and made it my quest to find as many menu's as possible to post here. So, here are the May drink prices from Allure. Note, the prices at Boleros were already different from our Navigator Spring Break adventure... I am uploading the pictures and will post each bar's menu in a separate post. On a side-note. I did end up getting the ultimate drink package, thanks to a glitch on the Royal website (surprise, surprise). I only paid $310.58 :D for the ultimate on a 7-day cruise, so it was worth trying one time. I will not pay the full price for the drinks package, as I found it would not be worthwhile for me. The good thing about buying it on this past cruise, is that I tried drinks I would never want to pay for, and just did not finish the ones I did not care for. DH did buy one drink on the cruise - Pirate's Hurricane - and it cost him $12.98, including gratuity. I asked how much a Love Connection would cost without the package, and it was $12.95 (before gratuities). I think in the future we will splurge on one Love Connection (my new favorite), and just settle for our two bottles of wine. :) Oh, there was a Drink of the Day every day for $10. They also had 2-for-1 every day, which I will post at the end. I have to go through the Cruise Compass to see what those were. Coming up next... The drink menus and prices you have been waiting for.

Rare APDMOM Posted June 3, 2016 Author #22 Share Posted June 3, 2016 As I was completing my Allure review, I found this picture of the mini bar prices. These are still charged, even if you have the package, as the mini bar and room service drinks are not included in your package: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovevacadays Posted June 4, 2016 #24 Share Posted June 4, 2016 This is great! Thank you for posting the drink menus and prices. It's been many, many years since I've sailed on RCI so was wondering what drink prices would be. Sailing on the Harmony next year. It seems the prices are a bit higher than Princess but we'll manage.:D:D:D Looks like some really yummy drinks.:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted June 4, 2016 #25 Share Posted June 4, 2016 We are sailing the Allure in October and I just bought the Premium for $44 per day (excluding 18%). Looking at your menu list I figure a good rule of thumb seems to be about $10 - $11 per drink average (excluding 18%). I am figuring some beers, wine, and some mixed drinks and I might be a little low. So at $10 a drink I only have to drink 4-5 drinks to break even? That seems like a pretty good deal to me. I think I can do that before noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
