love2decor8 Posted November 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Can anyone give me an idea of the cost of purchasing a soda from the bars or Dining Room on board? Also alcoholic beverages....just a rough idea... for a beer or Margarita? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding to what Bob said, most mixed drinks on the rocks are around $13-$16. Glasses of wine usually run $13+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2decor8 Posted November 12, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Thanks so much! I'd love to know how much profit they make on a weekly basis, just on beverages!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXHappyCruiser Posted November 12, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2019 This is actually where the cruise lines make a profit. My understanding is the cruise fare doesn't really make the company break even. It's the extras that do it, which is why you can see some great "deals" half way though a cruise on dining and drink packages if the cruise is down on revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted November 12, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I drink Miller Lite and with 18% gratuity added (we have the package but once in a while get charged incorrectly) the total was about $9.50. Husband drinks Makers/Ginger Ale and his is around $12.50 or a bit higher. That is why for us, the package totally pays for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicat Posted November 12, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have a picture of the menu at the pub on the Adventure from last month. I'll try to post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2decor8 Posted November 13, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I believe I've read, on CC probably, that alcohol and the Casinos are the two biggest money makers for the Cruise Lines. I'm not much of a drinker, but I'd probably spend more time and money in the Casinos if I could breath in there! Thanks for all the responses!

It can be more than the casino at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
