I’m not long off and have to say I was a bit worried before getting on when seeing the thread but not a problem at all. The photos really over emphasised any issue.  I didnt see the dodgy windows and the rust in the swimming pool had been totally magnified for effect.

yes there was the odd frayed bit of carpet in the lift or one cracked tile on the promenade but there was constant maintenance and the ship was spotlessly clean something I always find impressive on ships.

only 2 things I’d criticise

1.breakfast could be hit and miss - eg solid crunchy pancakes and avoid the back bacon - streaky was edible

2. Weird duvet solid and heavy- probably through boil washing which I suppose is a good thing 

 This seems to vary. I am uk based Southampton cruise I bought mine for around £41 which was the price on the cruise planner and I was charged only that x no of nights and at checkout it hadn’t been broken down in any way and said service 0

Thanks all 

I think I may have not been clear.  

I am aware its limited in value value of drink but in the past it seems to have covered the bulk of cocktails

HOWEVER   It seems NOW  from looking online that until at least last year the drink package limit was 12 on the majority of ships with the premium cocktails being that price.   On the bigger new ships 13 limit,  again with the cocktails largely being that price.

it seems the premium cocktails on the majority of ships however  are now 13 from a recent menu I saw, but the package still limits to 12 maximum.  

It it seems to be either a) a recent change that people haven’t encountered yet  or b) they have possibly moved the limit to 13 cocktails on the package but not updated the literature 

Has anyone sailed this year that can verify?

thanks 

We are sailing on an ex Southampton cruise and have just purchased the delux package.   I had thought it said premium cocktails were included as they tended to be $12 which is the limit , but now I can’t  that and the info is in fact quite silent on exact cocktails.  I have also seen a bar menu for 2019 ( not from one of the new class of ship but Navigator I think) when premium cocktails are $13.   We are likely to break even over the course of the cruise, if we don’t pay any more.  Does this mean I am going to have to pay an extra dollar or two if I want to have a cocktail.   Apart from beer and spirits there are only a couple of wines cheaper than this on the menu.  Surely the package is not that limited?

thanks
