Pleasure, I don't think since Thomsons took her over fully they've changed things very much.
If you see this B4 you go have a GR8 time

Berwyn, is any of the AI rum white(like Bacardi) and did you see Tia Maria, which i guess would be extra anyway?
Cheers

[Cymro1953]

Sorry I can't help there. I only drink beer/ lager and wine. So I didn't take notice of the spirits.

Berwyn

[pujro]

No problem, someone will probably know!

[mcdermott]

Dont know what the white rum was so cant coment but you cannot have Tia Maria or any other liquer

[pujro]

Having now used it, we're familiar with the All Inclusive set up, it's nowhere near as good as the Thomson one but we still cleared the cost by over a hundred quid.
I know it will vary depending on your tipple, and how much you drink, but I'd say that compared to what the Thomson one gave us last time, this is worth about a 60 to 70% of the standard £169.

Did you get to see any of the ports ? Or were you under the table :D
We had the free AI, but we drank nowhere near the full value of it if we'd paid £169 for it.

Can you remember what we'll get extra on the Thomson's AI please?
Ready for when we go on destiny next year

Hi Sue,
I see the achloholics are coming out of the woodwork :D
Don't worry about it, it's a lovely ship with great staff who can't do enough for you.
We've already had 3 bottles of Italian red.... Hic

Someone posted this a couple of yrs ago now, but the drinks are still very much current (no idea about prices, as parents were AI as well, and didn't look), according to parents who came back friday from the Destiny.

thanks Crinkle. for that. this is my only night off this week, And we've been on the red wine. So if this turns out drunk you can blame the local Co-op. they've got 3 bottles of Blossom Hill Italian Red for £10.

Oo a very good deal. But it reads just fine. Grins

Hi Crinkle,
It's very nice. I have only got 1 night off in 8 nights. :eek: So I am making up for it. I'm looking forward to Thursday night next week when I finish ready for our cruise.

Back in March we got most of the branded stuff included, Bacardi, Southern Comfort, Tia Maria, most of the cocktails and so on, also I think most of the coffees were on it too. Very few items involved a supplement. Quite the opposite on the Island Escape version.

Sue

Unbranded white rum is on there and the Bacardi supplement was only 10p, so not too bad.

Thanks for that Crinkle ( and the info from you too Pujro),
Now that's what you call a proper A.I. list

Berwyn

[Gemini4321]

Hi Pujro,

Thank you, those extra cocktails were not on there last year. Nice for a change.

By the way, did you have to fill in your passport info and full names online. I have that on page 39 of my travel docs. But Crinkle going tomorrowsays it's not in hers.

Hi, no we didn't complete anything online cruise wise, nor were we asked to. Some other cruise lines insist on it.
Of course some airlines now require you do do that before you fly, not sure if that applies here as we didn't fly with Thomson.

[Cymro1953]

It says it's a government thing. We had to do it in June with Royal Caribbean, but that was for them and not government.
