Sail away must be about 5:00. All aboard is right now at 4:30. Watching for pier runners now.

My wife Drinks Stella Artois. Can you see if that is an included beer with the package? A picture of the beer menu with the included beers would be awesome if you can do that.

I really enjoyed your Key West pictures. Have not been there yet, but it looks amazing.

Hello MrFunInTheSun,

I talked to you on an earlier thread about the Drink package. I was hoping you could see if Knob Creek Bourbon was included. Also what is the "best" Tequila that you can get? Is the Sauza Conmemorativo included? Also are any champagne/sparkling wines on the list to choose from? Thank you so much for taking the time out of your vacation time to get info for me. I hope you have a fantastic time. I will be reading along with you!!

I'll be sailing on the Jewel of the seas next Saturday and have already purchased the Premium drink package. I'll be doing a "Live" trip report and plan to speak about my experience with it during that trip report. Please be sure follow along and see how it goes. I should be starting my thread on the live trip report on Friday, April 12th.

One more for you MrFunInTheSun if you don't mind :-) It seem to indicate that the package is good at all bars, and private locations. I am not sure of your itinerary, but if you go to a private island can you verify that the package does in fact extend to the island bars as well? Can you get the drinks from the guys walking around on the beach, or only from a bar? Thank you so much for doing this for us. The available info on line is about as clear as mud :-) I think an really nice post about what is and isn't included will make your live trip thread a VERY popular one. I look forward to reading all about it.

a picture's worth a thousand words . .

 

Melbur, when is this from? I talked to Royal last night and she seemed to say that the items listed in the primuim box on that picture were not included. She told me Tanqueray X, Pyrat XO, Belvadere, etc were all excluded as "Super Premium"

MrFunInTheSun: Would you be able to check on the availability of Knob Creek, and the Sauza Conmemmorativo for me? I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you.

Does anyone know if this includes shots? I only have a few bourbons a day usually, but like the have a shot or two of tequila a day while cruising. Is this included, or is it only cocktails? Is there a MAX limit per day? $55 max 10 drinks a day or something like that? Thanks for any additional information

I had a server at a restaurant (here on land) tell me the other night, after our dinner, that she prefers tips in cash because they take a cut when you put it on your credit card.

 

I ignored it. She mentioned it again after she brought my card out. I said "I heard you the first time, but I don't have any cash AND I believe the 'cut' you are referring to is that they report your tips as earned income for your taxes."

 

"Yeah, that SUCKS so bad" she replied.

 

I left it alone. She is young and stupid and probably broke, but I wanted to slap her upside her head. Seriously, kid. Pay your taxes. You need to shut your pie hole before your next customer is the wrong person and you have to find a new job or worse.

I can tell you that my wife runs a restaurant. If you tip on Credit Card then 3% of that tip is taken by the business to cover the credit card fee. I have previously worked at 3 other places and it was the same there. It is not just the tax hit.
