pudy68 Posted January 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2023 What's the best non-alcoholic plan to enjoy mocktails? We also like water, coffee and the rare ginger ale. Maybe splurge once in a while for a milkshake, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPacificbound Posted January 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2023 If you haven't already done so, log into your cruise on Mariner and explore the options of drink packages, the tours offered etc. Just go to RCCL and set up your username and password, and go from there. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomTraveler Posted January 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The refreshment package is the one that gives you non-alcoholic drinks, coffees, bottled waters and protein shakes and fresh pressed juices (on ships with a vitality cafe). I think that milkshakes need the dining package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they be in the dining package? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they be in the dining package? I don't know, but when we were on Symphony I recall the milkshake being charged to our dining package, and the root beer float being charged to the beverage package. I figured it was because ice cream is more like a food. Although root beer float has ice cream too, so I don't know. I just recall them asking us if we had the dining package when we ordered the milkshake, but asking in a way that made it sound like she was saying we needed it for the milkshake. But it's also possible that because we also ordered food, the waitress may have assumed we thought we could order it with the dining package and the language barrier made it sound like she was "telling" us rather than asking. We had both the dining and refreshment so she may have figured that out on her own and charged it to the refreshment and didn't say anything to me about it. I just remember that when we ordered the milkshake, she didn't ask if we had the refreshment package. The root beer float was definitely the refreshment because I asked when we ordered it separately later. Sounds like milkshake is refreshment based on everyone else's replies so I guess it is.

I'll have to check again once I'm signed into my planner. Perhaps that option is displayed when there are dining venues that have shakes, like JR. I think the MOTS has JR, so that would be primo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelbell Posted January 26, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Does anyone know if the refreshment package includes the specialty coffee at "cafe Latte-tudes"? It looks like they serve it in "Starbucks cups" and I've read Starbucks is not included in refreshment package. We will be on Brilliance and they do not have a "Starbucks".

Yes, it will include Cafe Latte-tudes. Royal confused things when they switched to using Starbucks beans in their own cafes. What is not included is anything from a freestanding and branded (official) Starbucks, which quite a few ships do have, but not all. For the actual Starbucks stores/kiosks, you are able to use your own Starbucks card/Starbucks gift cards. Clear as mud? 😛 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare moposh Posted January 26, 2023 #16 Share Posted January 26, 2023 $26.99 per person per day. That's a lot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I went into the app and it still doesn't mention anything about milkshakes in the refreshment package. At $26.99 [sale price!!] per person/per night, that's a lot of drinks. Might be better to buy everything a la carte. (I hear that mocktails are $7 each. I'm guessing Johnny Rockets milkshakes are about the same. I won't have a milkshake every day, that's sadly for sure.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mandyleighflies Posted January 27, 2023 #18 Share Posted January 27, 2023 We always purchase the refreshment package. I am sober fabulous (curious) so I do not indulge in alcohol often and my kids (obviously at 14/16) don't drink either. The price tag may seem high but if you drink often it's worth it. I personally will go through 2-3 coffee's a day, a few mocktails, ridiculous amounts of sparkling and flat water. It would cost me twice as much if I paid ala cart for my beverages. My kids also drink coffee's (only 1 MAYBE 2 at the most), mocktails (my 14 year old loves the Watermelon Mint Lemonade mocktail) and they both drink a lot of water. It ends up being either worth it or a break even for our family but everyone has different habits. I'm just one of those people who has a beverage in hand at all times, I have coffee and sparkling water in front of me right now in fact 😄. All that being said, RCL has an awesome mocktail menu and tons of NA beverages available and most of the time the bartenders can create something special if you ask (and tip). NA beverages range from $3.50 - $8.50 (specialty coffee) so keep your own habits in mind when looking at price per day. Happy cruising!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
