Beverage Packages - Alcoholic and Non

[Cruisy McGee]

The RCI website/beverage package flyer are pretty vague about the specifics. I'm sure you all can help, though.

 

The only line I have ever sailed with a drink package is Celebrity. On X if I ordered a drink that was over the package limit in cost, I simply paid the difference in cost plus 18% of the difference. Is this the same on RCI?

 

X has multiple alcoholic packages and I see RCI only has one. Will the package cover most drinks with good brands (ie Grey Goose, Woodford Reserve)? Are there decent wines included by the glass?

 

I was able to get Evian water with my package on X. Since RCI has a separate Evian package, I'm assuming that the bottle water with the Deluxe package is not Evian. Am I correct? This isn't a deal breaker by any means, just curious.

 

The teens will have the Refreshment Package because they love juices, smoothies and non-alcoholic pina coladas. It sounds as though this package will cover the vast majority, if not all, non-alcoholic beverages. Can anyone think of any notable exceptions? Are shakes/floats at Johnny Rockets included?

 

The ship is Freedom of the Seas if that matters at all in the responses.

 

Thank you in advance.

Shakes at Johnny rockets are NOT included. All other frozen non-alchohol drinks are included as are specialty coffees and fresh squeezed orange juice in the mornings. The refreshment pkg will also work in the dining room and on coco cay/labadee

... Are there decent wines included by the glass? ... .

This part is very subjective. I would not be very pleased with the wines included/offered by the glass, however the package does give you a significant discount on bottles.

Thanks for info....

Thank you all for the info. Good to know about the shakes at Johnny Rockets.

 

I knew the wine question was subjective. I do like the 40% discount on bottles.
