kokopelli-az Posted July 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Is there a list somewhere that states which alcohols are included on the Signature beverage package and which are included on the Elite package? For example, is Grey Goose included on the Signature package or is it an Elite package alcohol? We are going to be on the Oosterdam for 15 days this fall and would like to order one of the packages. I would have thought this would be on HAL's website but I can't find it anywhere..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted July 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2017 You, my friend are in luck! :D You just happened to post this when I was making a comparison of the HAL SBP and EBP with Norwegian's UDP. I didn't get to the wines yet, but here's everything else. The information is fresh and was compiled from Roger Jett's (CrewNews) recent scans. You can't post columnar data on CruiseCritic, but this should be pretty easy to figure out.

Rare POA1 Posted July 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 5, 2017 You are right! This is my lucky day! It just so happens that the vodka, bourbon and rum on my list just happen to be listed on the Signature package. Thank you so much for posting this! Happy to help! The biggest reason to get the EBP over the SBP is that the EBP opens up your wine choices quite a bit. You can get by with the SBP, but there's more choice with the EBP. We paid to upgrade our Explore 4 SBP to the EBP in December because we are a little into wine. However, for most people who focus on beer and cocktails, the SBP does a good job. Enjoy your cruise!

PSR Posted July 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Thank you for the comparison list, but why are the cognacs that are less than $8 "excluded" from the SBP? Are there exceptions to the $8 (or so I've heard -the $9) rule?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted July 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Management regrets to inform you that another error was discovered in the Scotch Whisky section of the previously reported information. Laphroig was listed as being excluded from the SBP. It is, in fact, covered. The rest of the list - aside from the Cognac correction earlier - remains the same. The person responsible for the errors has been sacked. The proof reader has been beaten severely about the face and neck.

NCTribeFan Posted July 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Wait! You mean HAL ships have Gosling's Black Seal Rum! You mean I could have ordered Dark-and-Stormies on my last cruise? I've never seen it on a ship so just don't bother to ask. Of course, this assumes they also stock ginger beer! Will definitely have to see if they're available when I'm on Koningsdam in November. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely have to see if they're available when I'm on Koningsdam in November. :D There was a Moscow Mule on one of the bar menus on the Eurodam in December, so they must have had some. There may have been a Dark & Stormy on the list from either the Lido pool bar or the aft pool bar. I don't recall which. I only scanned the Crow's Nest menu.

Rare POA1 Posted July 6, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Please could you tell me how much cocktails are, on average? It depends on what you want to drink, but they're usually between $1.05 and $. 05 less than the Signature Beverage Package limit. That's $7.95 to $8.95 today. If you drink straight spirits or simple drinks like Bacardi & Coke, Tanqueray & Tonic, or Grey Goose & Soda - just look at the liquor list I linked to above for your pricing.

kokopelli-az Posted July 6, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Please could you tell me how much cocktails are, on average?

Rare POA1 Posted July 6, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Roger Jett (CrewNews) scanned these just last month. They're from the Alaska season, so the drinks might be different from what you'll find in the Caribbean. http://www.rogerjett-photography.com/specialty-2/hal-regular-and-specialty-restaurants/hal-beverage-menus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
