As they have cosmos on the paid for drinks, how do I order an included one? Do I need to say “Please may I have a cosmopolitan but made with included drinks?” Or is there a snappier way to ask?

Most people ask for it that way although the bar tender will ask you when you order if you are on the package and very soon they know to do things with the included drinks for you anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werangels Posted July 12, 2023 #28 Share Posted July 12, 2023 My husband doesn’t drink alcohol at all. If he isn’t drinking coffee, his only vices are San Pelegríno or Fevertree Mediterranean tonic neither of which appear to be available. I do think non-drinkers are poorly catered for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 12, 2023 #29 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The question is always whether Fevertree is on the ship! If they will only give you Royal Club, abstain from G&Ts!!! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s such a shame because it’s not easy to carry Fevertree in your hold luggage to take with you either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzrr Posted July 12, 2023 #31 Share Posted July 12, 2023 On our Onward cruises in January, there was plenty of Fevertree on board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Pursuit right now, there is Fevertree, which neither of us like, especially as their light tonic is not sugar-free. We’re walking to the supermarket in the morning to get Schweppes sugar-free. Not ideal either, but it suits us better. I guess it just proves that you really can’t please all of the people all of the time! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there remain a class of people who do believe that you can fool all the people all the time.

We will probably want to upgrade from Premium to Super-Duper as well so it is helpful to know of the additional cost. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcha3 Posted November 15, 2023 #35 Share Posted November 15, 2023 How about specialty coffees? Are they extra...or only if they include liquor in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted November 15, 2023 #36 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Only extra if they have liquor in them, otherwise included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink Perrier, and it's a shame it costs $23.95 per day to get it (or pay by the bottle). Interesting that a leading US consumer magazine downgraded Perrier for insufficient bubbles. Some can't get beyond labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired-and-Happy Posted November 15, 2023 #39 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I have a question about the Ultimate drinks package... once upgraded, does it include the gratuities on the drinks you order, or do you still get charge a gratuity on each drink? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All gratuities (except in the spa) are included on Azamara so there’s nothing added to the drinks price whether you have a drink package or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, thanks. I had thought/hoped that was the case regarding included gratuities, until I just read this Cruise Critic review page: https://www.cruisecritic.co.uk/cruise/azamara/azamara-pursuit which had me concerned as it clearly states that there's an "Automatic 15 percent service charge on all drinks"!

Yes, the alternative would be a Noel Coward Martini: fill a glass with gin and waive it in the general direction of Italy... 😉 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paf225 Posted November 16, 2023 #44 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I received an email from Azamara this morning promoting their different beverage packages. It appears they have increased the cost of the Ultimate and Premium packages by $3.00 per day each. At least they have kept the loyalty level discount.
