Beverage packages

[Canadian Scarlett]

I have a cruise booked for march on the Jewel of the Seas. I just purchased a beverage package while it was on sale...$41 plus 18% gratuity. I'm still on the fence about it and would appreciate it if anyone has a price list or idea of drink cost. I'm most interested in wine, cocktails and specialty coffees.

Wine starts at $9 a glass and goes way up. Fancy cocktails (frozen/blender) will be around $12. Specialty coffees $3-$5.

Would those prices be before or after gratuities?

Before 18% gratuity.

If you already purchased the package it sounds like you are no longer on the fence. Just enjoy! The nice part about the drink package is not having to debate whether you really want to spend the extra money on that drink. You can try something new without thinking about wasting your money.

Thanks! It is refundable but after seeing the drink prices I think I will be keeping it.

$41 is a really good price for the beverage package. You can also get bottles of still and sparkling water which saves a bunch if you take water off the ship on your ports of call. The fresh squeezed OJ in the morning is good too.

I had to change ships (Jewel to the Oasis) and itineraries due to no flights going to Puerto Rico until June. My beverage package that I bought on the buy one get one 50% off which ended up at $41 per day was automatically cancelled. I looked to book under my new booking and the same sale was showing, however the cost is $45 per day. Are the packages generally more expensive on the bigger ships?

I agree with jc3443 - it takes the guess work out, $41 is a great prince too. Fresh OJ at Park Cafe with our carry on champagne makes all the difference. Juice bar at the spa is also included.
