Not sure about juixes, but I believe it's cola products, seltzer/sparkling water and non premium water (i.e., only get Evian, etc. With Premium packages. I'm wondering if the non-alcoholic from from drinks like Virginia Pina colada only come with premium packages, too.

I don't get every points email either so I check this blog to see if I've missed any. Thanks everyone.

Just checked oceanweather and looks like nasty seas to the west of Iceland. Any of that affecting you yet?

Thanks for posting the MDR menus . They appear to have the same offerings as our May cruise this year. But a lot different than precovid. I wonder if they'll be the same next May when we're on the Summit again. P.s. we learned about ordering off the children's menu from one of your live reports several years ago. It worked out great for us in May. Thank you!

What time is sailaway today? Plan to watch on the NY Harbor Webcam. Bon Voyage!

Only one more sleep to your cruise. Have a great time. Looking forward to "sharing" your cruise.

Jim/Iain, Enjoy your upcoming 35 days onboard the Summit. So jealous. Still our favorite ship. A long 9 months to next May for our next cruise on her. Will you be doing your onboard writeups as usual? Bon Voyage.

Thanks for all the replies and helpful information. Bon Voyage everyone!!

Thanks for inpu but we'll have about $600 ob credit before sailing and another $400 once on board. Plan to use that to purchase drink packages,etc. Otherwise will go to waste because we don't do excursions anymore due to mobility issues.

Thanks for posting the Elite + Captain's Club drink list. We're sailing next year Cruise Only and debating whether or not we need the drinks package. Bon Voyage on your upcoming cruises.

We just booked with the cruise only rate. We decided to do that because we don't use internet and we will have about $1000 onboard credit. With the free Elite drinks cocktail hour we think we'll be ahead. I read somewhere that there's a special drink memo for the Elite cocktail hour. I saw it mentioned above it includes free water. Does it also include a can of soda water/seltzer? Does anyone have a shot of the drink menu or can give me an idea of what types of drinks they serve? Thanks.

Thanks for all the reporting and information. Now we're glad we cancelled our b2b out of Miami next April to a 10 day cruise r/t out of Bayonne on the Summit. We live 45 minutes from Bayonne port. We were on the QM2 earlier this month and my husband got Covid. I refused to leave him alone due to his age and severity of the covid. We were isolated together in a balcony room for last 36 hours of cruise. Then booted off at our home port in Brooklyn. Our son picked us up and we drove straight to the ER of the hospital near our house. I had a mild case, he is still recovering.

Thanks for your reply. Bon Voyage!

When they test on a b2b cruise, do they test on last full day or turnaround day?

No luck. Said we both had to get drink package, not one premium alcohol and one premium non alcohol (Royal Caribbean allows us to do that). They said try onboard on second day. Maybe we could work something out with them. After our upcoming QM2 cruise,will probably sail Celebrity which offers the free drink package, free gratuities and free WiFi with their fares. We do have 2 cruises scheduled with Celebrity in 2023.

We made Elite thanks to PUPs and our latest cruise. Doubt we'll ever make E+ but plan to try.

Won't be calling until the weekend but will post my results. I think I read in some post somewhere that another couple were able to do it so we're hoping.

Thanks for all the input. We plan to call Cunard directly so I can order the package for my husband and the premium non-alcoholic package for me. If you have the package, do you get a discount on a bottle of wine?

Great. Thanks for the extra checking.

Thanks. Are the prices the same for Brittania dining room, etc.?

Anybody have a list of drink prices? My husband likes a grey goose martini or double scotch. Wondering what they charge?Thanks.

Thank you for the extensive and detailed info. We're sailing July 1st. It sounds as if first seating is still fixed, which we prefer. Do you know if the Pools are salt water or fresh water? Thanks.

We will be watching the new webinar next Tuesday. Also, just got my points from last cruise, we're Elite finally. Woo hoo!
