Zacapa Old Fashioned is now over the premium limit at $19 a drink per a menu posted on another thread. There goes my favorite drink. No reds or whites I like on premium package either. I actually hope they come out with an "elevated" package to which we can upgrade before our Jan. 18 cruise. I know I could pay by the glass, but then there's the receipts to mess with. I'd rather pay more in advance.

WCB not on M class ships. S class and I think Beyond.

Can anyone currently in Retreat on any X ship confirm or deny that drinks over the premium $17 limit are: 1. available in the Retreat Lounge and 2. If so, is the difference in price being charged?

Great. That's what I wanted to know. So I can still have a drink on my premium package. That's nice to know as all my favorite wines are not not covered on premium package. I wonder when X will begin offering a higher package for higher price?

Above $17.

Are any of the drinks at WCB currently covered under the "new" premium drink package? My go to drink is the Zacapa Old Fashioned.

I'm guessing that Luminae will have some better cabs available that are not on the menu.

Which side of the ship, please?

Thanks. That would work. He can't walk all the way around on S class either. He mainly walks the area on deck 5 that is outside Al Baccio.

That is very distressing. My husband typically walks 3 times a day on cruises. And not on the jogging track. Is there really NO open deck anywhere else on these ships?

Evidently, every red that we enjoy is now priced over the premium package, including Decoy, Conundrum, and Elegance cab. What is available at no upcharge please? I can't believe Elegance is over the premium price!

Other then the 2 deck "jogging " track, is there any other open deck where one can walk on E class ships?

Is there access to the outdoor deck from the gyms on E class ships as on S class, please?

Yes.

We don't do Petit Chef because all diners have to be finished with one course before the next will be served. I want my courses to come when I have finished one course and await the next...not when EVERYONE in the venue is ready for the next course. .

I see the chocolate cate is back on the dinner menu.

Can you use Uber with no I-phone? We have android.

Amen! Keep them separate! If you like RCI's drinks policy better, then stick with RCI. We felt we "graduated" from RCI to X years ago. If I want the RCI experience, I'll book RCI.

So, if my current bookings all include the AI WITH gratuities, I won't lose my gratuities if I make a successful move up bid? I am being very wary of making any changes to current bookings so that I don't lose those gratuities.

I can't believe that Elegance is higher than Premium package. That is insane! What the heck cab is left to drink on the Premium package?

Too late to edit my above response . If you only want the occasional Bailey's, no need for a drink package. It will be less expensive to pay by the drink as you have indicated you will do.

I agree. if you have no number for your reservation, you don't have a reservation for flights. You need to call FBC and get answers on this. I always get an e-mail confirmation with "Record Locator/Booking Reference" numbers. The number designated as "carrier" will be your reservation number. I have booked AA, United and mostly Delta with FBC and have always picked my seats prior to final payment.

I believe that you can get an exception on the drink package if you can get a doctor's verification that he can't drink alcohol for health reasons. You should call back and get information on this if you would like a drink package.

I agree. Not a whole lot to see. Probably cheaper to take a taxi there and have him wait. That's what we did a few years ago.

Has the 4 oz. filet returned to the children's menu, please? A few months ago it was replaced by a strip steak. But one or two people in Luminae on different ships have recently said the filet was back. What category suite are you in? Interested since you report good service from the "butler". BTW, glad to hear your strip steak was good.
