Anita Cruz Posted February 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hello, we are new to Azamara and suite planning. Beer and wine are in the mini fridge along with sodas, are these included if you have beverage package? Would this beer and wine be replenished? Also, if you would like cocktails in cabin or on balcony can these be ordered through room service/butler service? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mj_holiday Posted March 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Can someone answer this please, I am also interested in the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurieb Posted March 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The beer and wine in the mini fridge are not included, you will be charged if you consume them. You can have drinks brought to your stateroom if you have purchased the ultimate beverage package, not sure if you haven’t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware that we could have cocktails brought to our stateroom if we purchase the Ultimate Beverage Package. We upgraded to this package last time we sailed, but weren't aware of this benefit. We are back on in early September, and may give it a go. Usually, we prefer to have drinks out in the social areas, but on occasion it is nice to have a little something to sip on while getting ready for the evening.

We were told this benefit was not available on Onward in November/December so it is possibly not a fleet wide offering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on Onward in September, but will be on Quest in November. We'll see how it goes. Either way, no bother, but a fun occasional perk if it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted March 15, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Personally I find it a pain to order room service from the bar and waiting for it. Better to keep a bottle of something in the room that you've bought onshore (there are no rules about limits on this on Azamara and nothing extra to pay if you drink it in your room) as it is more convenient and cheaper too. Ask your room steward for a stock of your favourite mixers if you need them. Phil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted March 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2023 They’re also good at topic up ice and putting lime and or lemon slices in the fridge. It’s only if you want something more complex that this plan might go unstuck. I’d wanted a Long Island (you know that bad drink 😜😜) with a meal in the room and that was a no. I just went and got it in the Den and brought it up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfastman Posted March 15, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2023 In October on Onward we had no problem getting drinks delivered to our suite at any time. We were on the ultimate package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander58 Posted March 15, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We were in an owner's suite on the Onward in December. There was NO charge for anything in the fridge. Actually, I swapped the welcome Sparkling wine for a Chardonnay. There are also bottle of spirits in the room - we kept the Gin but I also swapped the Rum & Vodka for additional bottles of wine. No muss, no fuss, and no extra charges. We did not have any of the beverage packages. I found it easier to run down to a bar and bring any other drinks back to the room - like afternoon Pina Coladas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that you can have drinks delivered to your room if you have any beverage package. You don't need to be starying in a suite. I also understand that the wine daily pour can be delivered with meal service. Again any cabin type. How this works on each ship seems a bit confused from postings above.

Rare mj_holiday Posted March 16, 2023 #14 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I have seen various descriptions of what suites/packages you need to have to get wine delivered to your room with room service. We will be onboard next week and will see for myself. While I know the ship is small, I really don't want to interrupt a room service dinner by getting up to run down to a bar for a refill. That aside, we are looking forward to this cruise and will be purchasing the Premium package. We like the variety of beers and the list of spirits. Our last Azamara (and first by the way) cruise we went with the basic included and bought whatever extra dinks. We did find the included wine fine, and at the time (pre covid) they brought by 2 whites and 2 reds to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfastman Posted March 17, 2023 #19 Share Posted March 17, 2023 It states on the new website that complimentary drinks are not delivered to the stateroom. Maybe its an error on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure you’re right but no way of checking now, but I think the exception was always that you could get the included wine if you had a room service meal served at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inference by Bonnie was it was not always the case as she said "now". That's why I said it was my understanding rather than a definite yes. Shame we don't have a Bonnie here now to give us the latest official. Phil 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have also found it easier--and quicker--than having our butler bring it, to just run down to a bar for a boat drink, lol. And DH always gets fancy morning coffees for us (yes, he's a prince). At the beginning of each cruise, the butler will encounter him in the hall with dismay! He'd have to explain that it's his little wake-up ritual. But we are perfectly content to have the butler serve us wonderful meals and pour our wine then... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
