RedIguana Posted July 3, 2022 #52 Share Posted July 3, 2022 12 hours ago, LGW59 said: "fresh" OJ and "fresh squeezed" OJ - Oh my, surely you jest!?! There have been live cruise vlogs here with the quest to find "fresh squeezed" to the point of taking and posting pictures of both, searching throughout the ship and asking behind the scenes kitchen/beverage staff where it is, what kind of machine do they use, does it get squeezed by a machine or by hand. The indignity of saying it is fresh squeezed when it is machine squeezed or pre-packaged. Can't wait for those vlogs to start up again.. As far as fresh squeezed on RCL...at the fresh squeeze station in the windjammer, you will literally see the pile of orange skins (halves) from the manual (via electrical spinning juicer) leftovers. So as far as fresh squeezed vs fresh goes, the fresh squeeze station literally is pure OJ pulped from pressing half cut oranges onto the spinning device.

That's been a known issue with this site - that's why folks sometimes have no issue when viewing on a laptop browser (and don't comment) but folks viewing on mobile devices do.

hotsauce126 Posted July 3, 2022 #54 Share Posted July 3, 2022 The best strategy is just get whatever you want whenever you want, don't finish anything you don't like, and take cruises that stop at Coco Cay/Labadee so you can use it in those ports. The best thing about the package is not having to look at the prices or keep track of what you're spending. Also keep in mind that its not just alcohol you can use it for, you can get better coffee/specialty coffees, bottled water, juices, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My week long total, if calculated as paying cash, would have been over double that (8x60=480). But without the package, would you have actually drank the same amount? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a while since my last cruise, want to start this topic to share your strategies to conquer/get the best/squeeze the last penny of the UBP. Please, don't be shy......share your wisdom 🤪 I get the soda package and then if I want an R&C I just purchase a double shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If husband's drink is watered down, get a new one. If we try something we don't like, we get a new one. Plus with my husband's specialty coffees with Bailey's in the morning, water/soda and I have a couple Mimosa's, the package pays for itself before you know it. Warm beer🤔 How does that happen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there might be a little less restraint than had I been paying cash for everything but I’ll find out for sure on my next one in August to Alaska. This will be our first cruise as diamond. I’m going to use the vouchers for the expensive drinks and pay cash for for Latte’s and bottles of Strongbow I drink. Also, I have preordered a 24 pack of water for the room. I’ll total up the cost and compare it to the $66 a day I would have spent on the package. That will determine my future decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocher Posted July 3, 2022 #61 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) We are going without on our next cruise (just me & hubby). I know I struggled more than I expected to on our 7 day in March. Found I’d lost my taste for the sweet fruity frozen drinks. Bar in WJ never seemed to have the Baileys I usually add to my morning coffee so I didn’t have that. We’ll be Diamond after that & I’m guessing 4ish per day will be enough. Maybe I’ll bring wine for dinner & a 12 pack of our diet ginger ale.

LittleJoefromKokomo Posted July 3, 2022 #62 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Easy, just following these steps: 1. Bring one or two empty large suitcase when boarding. 2. Order lots of Redbull cans and don't open them, order at least 10 a day and pack them into suitcase for consumption at home.. 3. Order the most expensive beer (probably an IPA) several times in different bars and don't open them, pack them as well to your suitcases for bringing home and drink later.. 4. Order several shots of Chivas or some other Whisky straight up, no ice or water (I prefer Gentlemen Jack) and pur them into an empty water bottle. Bring home for future consumption... 5. Drink so much that you crash into bed every night (and the sunbeds on deck for a nap every time before lunch) I have faith in you! I really think that by following these easy steps that you will get the most out of your drink package 😀 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
