riandei Posted June 18 #1 Share Posted June 18 Our cruise comes with the very basic drink package. if I am interested in having a premium drink, can I purchase just that 1 drink or must I upgrade. its a 12 day sailing and I will never consume enough alcohol to pay for the upgrade for the entire cruise. thanks for your replies.

Rare uktog Posted June 18 #2 Share Posted June 18 You can purchase just one drink no problem at all. Many do not take the packages and do just that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr H Posted June 18 #3 Share Posted June 18 I usually walk off the ship with a $50 bar tab for a few upgraded martinis and a few single malt scotches (they have 3 or 4 available). The tab is usually covered by OB credit. Also, if you are less than happy with the house wines, the ship has an excellent selection of bottled wines for purchase at very reasonable prices. They are stored very well, and 1 bottle usually lasts DW and me for 2-3 meals. Personally, I can't fathom how anyone can go through that much alcohol in such a relatively short time as to even come close to breaking even on any cruiseline's liquor packages, but c'est la vie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You overlook the fact that to get a decent sparkling water you have to have the Ultimate Package. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riandei Posted June 18 Author #5 Share Posted June 18 Thanks for your replies. We have plenty of ship credit so I believe this will work out great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So fountain soda water is only available for extra cost?😉 For my generation water comes out of a tap. Fizzy water comes out of a cut glass soda syphon served by Clarke Gable wearing a tuxedo. Hey a girl can dream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship also carbonates water but sadly I have an addiction for San Pellergrino, Perrier and Evian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
