COR Posted July 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2004 We are taking our first RSSC trip on the Sept 27 Istanbul-Athens sailing. Do any of the women wear evening gowns or are cocktail dresses more the norm on formal night? As for drinks, my husband is more a beer and wine man than hard liquor. Can he subsitute beer for the hard liquor in the room's mini bar? What about the general cost of beer as opposed to mixed drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenn Posted July 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Welcome to the boards! There is a pretty even mix of dressy pant suits, cocktail dresses and evening dresses for women. Bring whatever makes you feel most comfortable. We generally get two bottles of wine for our in-room setup vs. hard liquor. I think the "exchange rate" is a six pack of beer per bottle. I don't know the difference between the cost for a glass of wine vs. a beer in the bars. On our June Voyager cruise, there was no extra charge for ordering a standard cocktail once you're seated in the dining room for dinner. I believe a glass of wine was in the $5.50 to $6.50 range when we were up on the pool deck. Hope that helps and have a wonderful trip!

COR Posted July 10, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Thanks for the info Anne. Every little bit helps. We are getting very excited about the trip. By the way, what part of the Jersey Shore are you at? We have friends and family around Wildwood and Cape May. Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenn Posted July 12, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Claire - I'm glad the information was helpful to you! We have really enjoyed our times on RSSC and hope you have a wonderful trip. We're at the northernmost part of the Jersey shore near Sandy Hook. The weather the past three weeks has been just spectacular. Today looks like some much-needed rain.
