Doubles covered under DBP?

[bar1068]

Are doubles allowed if you have the DBP? Read on here someone saying a bartender would not serve doubles, and I can't recall last times I sailed on RCI with the package if they were covered or not!! Also, is there somewhere to get current drink prices? Thanks.

The RCI app lists many drink prices in the bars.

The "trick" to getting a double on the beverage plan is to have them charge one shot to your diamond drink and one to your drink package. You will need to sign a zero check for the diamond pour however...

Ugh. Ok..thanks. We're a few points shy of diamond status.

II order a martini straight up versus a shot on the rocks... this assures me of a better pour.

I have never had a problem ordering and receiving a double. YMMV. I tip well, maybe that helps. And yes, I realize that a gratuity is added to the cost of the beverage package. I usually tip extra and I don't have to worry about getting my double.

I am Diamond Plus and I have never had to sign a zero check for any of the five free drinks you get per day.

This started within last few months. On the Ovation now, and some print a zero receipt to sign and some don’t.

I have been on Freedom, Odyssey, Wonder and Grandeur twice in the last two months and have never had a bartender print a receipt. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if there are different policies on each ship concerning printing receipts for free drinks.

RC is measuring their pours now, at least on Oasis…no extra pouring to drinks.
