shelleyo Posted February 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi Guys, For all you seasoned RCI customers, please can you answer a question? We have been on two cruises with NCL and really enjoyed those, this will be our first time on the Indy. And we booked a cruise which incorporates the "Deluxe" drinks package, we are not sailing till September, however I have spotted a couple of items on the CC site that says that some clients have experienced an increase in prices on the drinks supplied, ranging from $13 to $15 each. Our package states drinks up to $12 each, is this the norm or are the prices well over that so you have to pay the difference ? One of the reasons for choosing this cruise from Southampton was the whole package and I hope that RCI are going to have a selection of all beverages in the $12 range, we normally like beers during the day and a glass or two of wine in the evening finishing off with a cocktail as a nightcap. I have written to RCI, to query this, wondering if you have the drinks package if they increase this to $13 to cover their increases, just so we can budget if we do have to pay the difference, however I have not heard from them. So if any of you lovely fellow cruisers can assist, we would be more than grateful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daze6399 Posted February 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Indy is $12 for the package but most drinks (as of the last couple of menus I've seen) are within that range. Top tier premium booze is typically more, but nothing I've seen indicates that you'll be struggling to find drinks within the package. The main exception seems to be wine, as there are fewer wines within the package limits, it looks to be an ok selection but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelleyo Posted February 13, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Thanks for your help, I received a email today from RCI who advised a glass of wine from $6.50 and what else is covered, so fingers crossed for September they honour the package they have given us :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted February 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Almost all drinks are covered by package ( had package last 4 cruises) only thing we paid extra for was some wine by the glass and some scotch ( that were over 15 year old), if you do order a 15 dollar glass of wine you will pay 3 dollars and tip on the 3 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a scotch bar on Independence? What sort of selection and prices do they have? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You've caught my attention. Is there a scotch bar on Independence? What sort of selection and prices do they have? No scotch bar. Champagne Bar would probably have a decent selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
