Keksie Posted May 3, 2023 #92454 Share Posted May 3, 2023 We are going on a cruise on Grandeur in June. They have a sale on all the packages right now and I need some input on them. We are diamond so I don't think we need an alcoholic drink package since we really don't drink that many drinks. It is a stretch for me to get to 4 a day. We do however drink a lot of water, sodas, and coffee. The coffees from Starbucks is not included in the package so where do you get specialty coffees? The refreshment package is $27.99 pp, per night. What is everyone's thoughts? Worth it or no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right across the street from the bus stop and the ship was right there. The internet didn’t work on my phone this whole time afternoon. Switched to my iPad and it’s working great now. So, going back a few hours… Once on board Found Ken at the Flow Rider. Here’s Toby in action Cloudy all day. Nice and cool We are about to sail away. Best wishes for an amazing cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't use your 4 free Diamond drinks for alcohol ask for large bottles of water or soda instead to take back to your cabin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 3, 2023 #92462 Share Posted May 3, 2023 This is our excursion today. It's supposed to last 8 to 10 hours depending on traffic. I should have time to post pics between post if my battery last and I don't fall asleep. I woke up around 2 or 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep. He just said we will 7pm. It is currently 8:30am. I don't think the guy ahead of us knew it was sooo long 😂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually get the refreshment package because our vouchers are more than enough alcoholic drinks for us but we like soda, water and specialty coffees. We do not like the coffee from the machine in the DL, we prefer the specialty coffee from Cafe Lattetudes, especially mochas which the DL machine does not make. That is the lowest I have seen the refreshment package lately. Haven't sailed Grandeur but it is on the list of ships with freestyle machines, so that would be a huge plus for my diet root beer loving DH. Refreshment covers both still and sparkling water, so I always drink San Pellegrino with meals, instead of ship water. I would buy a refreshment at that price if I was sailing that ship. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell it has been a hot minute since we have cruised and things have really changed. I like the thought of the sparkling water. You get a cup that has an RFID chip in the base that activates the machine. There used to be a time limit between fills but there hasn't been one on our last cruises. The machines have a lot of different flavors that are not available from the soda gun at bars. Lots of different sugar free flavors which is important to my diabetic DH. Unlimited San Pellegrino is why I get the refreshment package as I will have three of the little bottles at dinner alone and those go for about $4 each last I checked. Add at least one mocha a day, fresh squeezed OJ with breakfast, a couple of still waters and a soda or two and it is worth it for me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess comparing both BGE is really slow. The fastest way I know to do pulled pork from scratch is with an Instant Pot. I've done that as well and is also good. Takes just over an hour from opening the package of pork, to spreading it on the bun. https://www.ricardocuisine.com/en/recipes/8324-pressure-cooker-barbecue-pulled-pork dp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
