Drink costs

[GUEST234]

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.

But they don't pour a reasonable size drink. You need to ask for a double or triple if you hope to taste theliquor.

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.

The drinks are still cheaper than most land based bars and rest.

Big deal, they are still too high.

you can always pay twice as much for the cruise and get your drinks for free.....

We have been sharing a lot of info and we will be meeting up on board after the life boat drills.

 

Hope to see you on the Roll Call soon.

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.

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.

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.

Unable to open the bar menu. Any information on price of bottle of white wine (low side) in dining room would be greatly appreciated.
