Beverage package - up to $8 NOT $9

[blizzardboy]

Hi Everyone! I have seen some discussion back and forth on whether with the drink packages (by itself or with the Explorer4 deal) that the top value went from $8 a drink to $9 a drink. This is not accurate. I checked with my PCC and then also called the Onboard Package services number and they confirmed that more recently it went from $7 to $8 but it has NOT increased to $9. I just wanted people to be aware so you have the right expectations on the ship.

 

Cheers!

Copied and pasted from HAL's site - from Explore 4 "Terms and Conditions":

So, if I book the Explore 4....I get any drink for up to $9????? Up to 15 /day. Does this include special coffees? waters? etc. AND are there any drinks that are $9 or less? Or is it pretty much beer/wine.

Yes to any drink $9 and under, 15/day. I know water is included but uncertain on special coffees? There are many Liquor drinks in that category plus the wines and beer. There are, however, several wines and some Liquors over $9, you can order those but will pay that price plus gratuity outside of your package.

It's rare to find a drink that isn't covered. HAL has pretty decent prices on their liquor. High end single malt scotch, a couple of tequilas, and some cognacs are all that come to mind. The wine selection isn't super. I think there are about 15-18 choices total.

Specialty coffees are included. Nice in the MDR to finish the dinner. Lots of cocktails and good brands of liquor are available for under $9.00 a pop. I put ice in my wine which I drink in abundance so the cap works for me. Why waste good wine on an aging wino who use ice.
