Premium/Ultimate/Deluxe Drinks Package!

[Ruby_1966]

Hi there

 

Sorry, I know alcohol packages are flogged to death on here but I am so confused... :confused:

 

Originally we bought the Premium package.

 

Then there was a special so we cancelled that and bought the Ultimate package.

 

I didn't save anywhere what that said it included but we thought it was specialty coffees, top shelf spirits, premium cocktails, beer, wine etc.

 

Now I see online it's called the Deluxe package but doesn't say it includes top shelf spirits.

 

Does that mean it wouldn't include say a rum and coke?

 

Don't suppose anyone has saved what was included in the Ultimate package?

 

We are sailing 3rd December on Radiance.

 

Cheers

Tracey

Anything up to $12 should be included. If the top shelf spirits are more than that you'd just pay the difference plus 18% grats

The old Ultimate and the new Delux cover all the exact same drinks.

Thanks for the info.

 

Gratuities are included in drinks package aren't they?

Yes, the only exception being if you have to pay extra for a drink. Say you wanted a $16 drink, you'd pay $4 plus an 18% tip on the $4

For Australian and New Zealand cruisers - gratuities are included in the drinks packages. Also check your drink package prices - we are on the Ovation over to NZ for Christmas and the packages have come down in pricing three times in the last 6 months. I just kept cancelling - obtaining a refund, and repurchasing until they stopped. Ended up saving $$. Enjoy the Radiance!

Drink price is up to $13 or at least it was last month on the Allure. We ordered top shelf and never went over the $13. We had some really nice wines with dinner and never went over.
