Bar menus and drink prices Allure May 2016

[APDMOM]

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.

Oops! LOL! That is because the last thread I could find was in 2015... will write them. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks again... it seems we are now able to edit our own title by going advanced. I like it! :) We are now in 2016 again.

 

PS Or maybe not. It is fixed on here, but not in the feed. I e-mailed them.

The Royal Borgoña was "only" $10 on the Enchantment. I love the way that they increase prices on the bigger ships! :eek:

I'm guessing prices will vary but it's a good planning guide and your menu pictures are excellent.

Those are the menus I could find. Never saw one in the MDR or on the Rising Tide. Hope this helps others decide about packages.

 

Happy Cruising!

Thanks. Yes, prices do vary, as the Boleros menu for Navigator in March showed $10 for Cocktails. :)

Will you be doing a full review of your cruise?

[jrmama496]

Thank you so much! I wonder if they will raise prices again by next month.

[APDMOM]

Will you be doing a full review of your cruise?

 

Yes. I just completed a very busy week at work, so I will start on the picture 'review' tomorrow :)

[APDMOM]

Thank you so much! I wonder if they will raise prices again by next month.

 

You are welcome! I really hope they don't. I know they seem to be pushing the drink packages, but $13 for a Margarita is already pretty high :eek:

[APDMOM]

Back to the future... :D Thanks to JennK, the date of the title is now fixed.

[sadie8]

Thank you for this post. Looking forward to your picture review.

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:

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

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.
