minidonuts85 Posted December 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2018 This is probably a stupid question but are alcoholic beverages "complimentary" during the beach bbq party if you dont have a drink package? We have ours at Fischers Cove, VG. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milepig Posted December 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Not in our experience. They may hand you one freebie when you arrive - usually a very weak tropical sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridethetide Posted December 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The only free drinks we have gotten are when you first arrive, during the Captain's reception, and if you sit at the Captain's table for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you get free drinks when invited to sit at any officer's table. I got them at the Hotel Director's table. Also, there is a Yacht Club reception one evening with free drinks - that applies after you have been on your first cruise with Windstar. On my Star Collector cruise, there was a reception toward the end of the first cruise in the Star Collector for those staying on for the second cruise.

Petoonya Posted December 14, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Just got off Wind Spirit today and agree with all New Cruisers additions. Ours was a James Beard Foundation cruise and we sat with the COO of same, and enjoyed drinks and nice wines. And the Yacht Club members party and Captains reception. But just mai tais that tasted like fruit punch at the island BBQs. Edited December 14, 2018 by Petoonya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted December 24, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 24, 2018 No free drinks. If you want it, you buy it. If you like to drink, buy a beverage package. I am not a drinker and like that Windstar does not include drinks. I would like to include free wifi. I also miss the complimentary excursions. Some of my best memories were the Villa Dorazo in Portofino and the History Museum in Copenhagen. They were fabulous events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted December 24, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 24, 2018 We are very happy WS is not all inclusive. We are very light drinkers I like red wine and champagne max usually 2 drinks a day. My husband a beer or a glass of wine every other day ( health issues ), we do not need or want WIFI because we are retired and WS lets us get away from it all, no included excursions please our interests are very different than most folks, I love researching that is part of my pleasure, and we are not big group people. We love the fact that WS honors your individuality by letting you pay for the things you want to do, drink and how you want to do it. I hope they never change those policies. Up coming our 23 we still love it. Happy Sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
