I’ve been on the koningsdam multiple times and they’ve never had anything like this. I’d be willing to make a pretty good wager it was just the Rotterdam for that one cruise. Yes those were the happy hour prices on both of the Rotterdam’s celebratory 150th transatlantics. They were the “historical” prices from crossings in the 50s I believe. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only used Royal before and there isn't with them Are you sure there isn’t a 15 drink limit on Royal? I believe every cruise line uses the same 15 drink limit. Also, it does become a matter of liability for the cruise line if there is no limit, and things go wrong in any one of a dozen possible ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I choose to purchase this type of drink, do I have to use the drink package or can I just pay the 75 cents and save the more expensive drinks for my package. TiA Could this be what the person you mentioned was referencing, the Heritage Cruises? It isn't on all cruises, from what I can see. The one prior to our K-dam cruise is a Heritage Cruise, the one we are on is not. "Visit ports that are rich in our history on Heritage Cruises.

deliver42 Posted July 16, 2023 #30 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Royal and celebrity, and NCL and MSC do not limit drinks as long as you're sober. Only Carnival Corp. Ships have the 15 drink limit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers x'ed it isn't 😉 Go back and look at the photo. At the bottom of the left page it says it is on the 150th Anniversary crossing, which was on the Rotterdam.

This was posted on facebook in a group sailing chat by someone who was on the Koningsdam so is/was not limited to Rotterdam. The only question now is whether it was sailing specific or available during this anniversary year. I guess I will find out when I board later this year.

I have checked and it does appear that our cruise may be a heritage cruise, and it does appear that the happy hour special is accurate. Will definitely try the Dutch high tea.

Rare renee00 Posted July 16, 2023 #34 Share Posted July 16, 2023 They had that special historical happy hour for one day on my Koningsdam cruise in June. I saw it on the program but didn't go as I figured it would be super crowded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiA Thar would make sense only if you are going to drink more than the 15 drinks per day limit. To me, that would be hard to do, I would think, even with the non-alcoholic drinks thrown in. I’d suggest just using your drink package, because no charge still beats 75 cents. And I never saw 75 cent drinks onboard the NS this Spring. It seems like those prices are long gone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
