GUEST234 Posted January 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Ok, first-time cruiser. Going on the Grand Princess from Galveston on 2/18. One question I haven't been able to find the answer to is this: How much do the drinks on-board cost? Specifically I like Captain Morgan and Coke and Pina Coladas. Information for some budgeting would be nice. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m steve Posted January 18, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2006 But they don't pour a reasonable size drink. You need to ask for a double or triple if you hope to taste theliquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyking Posted January 18, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Drinks are NOT cheap by any means. Some of the more tropical drinks (like a pina colada) will come in different sizes (small, medium, large) I usually got mediums and they were around $7.50 by the time they added the tip in. Jack and Coke (or something of the sort) will run just under $5 but it's usually very small so you are better off ordering a double size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna5 Posted January 18, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2006 The drinks are still cheaper than most land based bars and rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMATHERS Posted January 19, 2006 #11 Share Posted January 19, 2006 all too funny regarding drinks on board. going on a cruise, if you drink, you gotta know you're going to spend more oon drinks than used to. Bring your own and enjoy a few on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper825 Posted January 19, 2006 #13 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I really didn't think the drinks themselves were priced too bad. Order a large. My husband and I would order one large and share it sometimes. They are huge and I think it works out to be a better deal. By the way, we were on the Star, I highly recommend the Long Island Ice Teas, Pina Coladas and thte 24K Margarita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstoncruisers2001 Posted January 19, 2006 #14 Share Posted January 19, 2006 On the Grand, order a large Texas Tea(Long Island Ice Tea). It might cost 8 bucks or so, but atleast it will last you awhile. FYI...I was at Pappadoux's this past Sunday and the drink prices WERE higher than the ship's drink prices. Also, I thought the drinks made in Skywalkers(disco) were alittle weak, but the drinks made by the pool bars were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
