Quite, and Aurora was already out of date when she launched, with most ships debuting around the end of the century having a majority of balcony cabins.

Hasn't done her much harm though. At least she looks like a ship (where's my tin hat?...😄). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, once you get above, say 3000 pax, how many cruise ships don't look like a block of flats? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly agree that the RCL ships generally have better lines than most others. They still look like a block of flats on water though...(imho) 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what if seen a lot of cocktails have now gone up over £6.95 so makes the drinks package pointless if you like cocktails. What about the ice wine, how much is that now 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted June 28, 2021 #61 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) The ice wine is one of the offerings in the Glass House, or it used to be, expensive but nice. Hopefully we will get enough drinks menus and prices in the next few weeks so I can decide if the drinks package is worth it for my August cruise.

Indeed, and it was available on the drinks package, wonder if it is above the price threshold now though. Lovely drop of fizz, and preferable (to my tastebuds anyway) to the usual names in champagne.

I don’t think the Peller Ice Cuvee will be under £6.95 It was £6.95 for 125ml last time we were onboard:( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adawn47 Posted July 1, 2021 #67 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I hope the drinks menu is just a starter with more to follow. The whisky choices are poor, as are the beers, and where's the Peroni😲?? Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink-belle Posted July 2, 2021 #70 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Peroni was offered on tap in Sindu, and there was a tap for it at the Serenity Bar. I don’t seem to have saved a PDF of The Glass House Menu, probably because this cruise I stuck to the Peller Iced Cuvee, as the weather was so good we weren’t inside during the day. Peller was £6.95 or £36.95 per bottle. the rose version £7.45. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being mainly a beer and wine drinker, at first glance it looks to me as if the wine prices have increased by about £1 for a large glass, compared to February 2020, or am I being unrealistic with regards to historic pricing? The house wine, for example, has increased by £1.05 for a large glass, compared to the prices shown on the "Yummy Mummy" list. https://www.cruisemummy.co.uk/po-cruises-drinks-menus-2019/ Edited July 2, 2021 by wowzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, I wish I had The Glass House Menu, a large Miravel Rose was just shy of £10 in September 2019. I’m sure it was about £11 this cruise. there is no signing or receipts so can’t go and check individual prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink-belle Posted July 2, 2021 #75 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Just to add, there were No QR codes to download menus, all menus are allegedly single use, not sure how I feel about this. The menus are nicely printed, on good quality cardstock. Only given on request, it felt “normal” to hold a good quality menu. Once used I was told the corners are torn off and the menu destroyed. Once we realised this my DH just scanned into notes so we had a version on our phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
