There is bar menus at every bar but "most" drinks are under $9 unless you get into top shelf liquors!

I'm not saying that you owe me a drink. I'm not saying that it's the least you could do. After all, you'll have to live with yourself. (Apologies for the formatting. This is the best I can do on the boards.)

I have a question, if the liquor is under $9, and you get it mixed with say, coke or seltzer, does that count as being under $9 or is there an upcharge for what it is mixed with, or does this cost include basic mixing options?

Thanks!

Yes. Something like Bacardi and Coke is priced at the price of the rum alone. There are some cases where you are mixing two liquors, like a black Russian (Vodka + Kahlua) where you may run into an issue. But for standard drinks which are alcohol plus mixer, like gin and tonic, you won't have any problems.

POA I hope you were able to cut and paste that! :D

 

Thanks!

[boards]

Yes you can and I did. Thank you.

Thanks!

Yes, I did. It's part of a comparison I did in preparation for our upcoming trip on NCL's Escape in October. I just filtered out the non-HAL stuff.

 

The question gets asked often enough that I keep the information handy.

Thank you!

POA, thanks for that list. Must admit I was a bit surprised that on cruises to Alaska they don't offer Alaskan Amber and Hopothermia. [emoji22]

Here is the bar menu from Alaska, June 2017, that does indeed include Alaska Amber on Page two:

I compiled the list for a comparison I'm making between HAL's beverage package and NCL's for an upcoming cruise in the Caribbean in the Fall. I left off the Alaskan beers because they wouldn't apply in my situation. There are probably other local beers that are available on other itineraries that aren't on the list either.

We have had the SBP many times, last time in December, and we have ordered Black Russians, White Russians, Wang-Wang's, Long Island Ice Teas, all of which have up to 5 different types of alcohol, and all of them were included under the regular SBP.

Good to know. I wasn't sure. My drink is Maker's Mark on the rocks. The only way it would be simpler was if I left out the ice.

:confused: If we order a drink over the $9 limit, will they charge for the overage (plus tip) or the entire drink (plus tip)? 🍷🍸

Cheers!

Entire drink. Most drinks will be under the limit, so it's not much of an issue.

Could someone post a link to the bev packages ??? thank you

Check the HAL website. But the quick answer is:

Signature Beverage Package (SBP) $44.95 per day + 15% service charge = $51.70 per cruise day, everyone in the cabin over legal age must purchase the same package, unless you produce a doc's note saying you are allergic to alcohol. Also, that price is based on you buying the SBP online, at least 4 days ahead of your cruise. If you buy it onboard, then, it's $49.95 per day + 15% service charge = $57.44 per day. That package gets you just about any liquid you can swallow that is under $9, and you can do that 15 times per day, and the reset time is midnight. If you're in the B.B. King bar and you have blitzed out on 15 drinks, wait until after midnight, and you are good to go again. Ask for some help getting back to your cabin !!

The Elite Beverage Package (EBP) is generally $10 more per day (plus 15% service charge), and there is no penalty for buying it onboard like the SBP. That package will get you any liquid refreshment priced at $15 per drink, and don't consider the service charge. It'a all prepaid, just look at the menu prices. Same 15 drink per day limit.

If you are a beer person or cocktails, then you would be hard pressed to find a cocktail that is not included in the regular SBP. But if you tilt towards wine, then you may consider the EBP due to the higher per-drink limit of $15.

Either way, enjoy, and at the end of your cruise, there's no sticker-shock when you get the final bill and it "Holy S**t, did I drink all that" !!!

I haven't seen a listing for hot chocolate on any of the drinks menus. Do they have it on the ship?

[POA1]

Yes. The drinks list that we've been posting is the alcoholic beverages for the most part, but I think Roger's scan has some of the virgin drinks.

 

There's hot chocolate mix in the Lido (free) and a better version at the Explorations Cafe (paid.) I'm pretty sure it's on the room service breakfast menu too.

If you want it, and can't find it on the room service breakfast hang tag, just add it in. They can fix the pot of hot water anyway, so it's just a matter of throwing a packet on the tray.

No big deal for the people putting up the order.

[bobandjo]

Slightly off topic but still drink related - during 2 for 1 + $2 times do you have to order 2 of the same drinks or can you have different? Like 1 for me and a different 1 for my wife. Other than wine we do not drink the same liquors.
