Alaska Cruise Hot chocolate question

I read somwhere that they serve hot chocolate on deck on the Alaska cruises. Are these complimentary? I know the ones spiked with booze aren't. I'm assuming they are not part of the soda card. Is there somewhere we can get plain hot water?

The last time we did an Alaska cruise they were servering complimentary hot chocolate on the decks while were cruising Hubbard glaicer. You had to pay if you wanted to upgrade to the high octane version, but other than that there was no charge. This was about 5 years ago.

Hope this helps....

Thanks it does. Wanted to be prepared in case we were having to pay $3 a cup like we had to at the ski resorts.

I had mine spiked $$ but the kids had their plain and it was free. This was last August, it was YUMMY!!!

Unspiked hot chocolate was free on deck while at Hubbard Glacier on our Serenade cruise a couple of years ago.

OMG! You MUST try a "Peppermint Patty"! I think it is hot chocolate with peppermint schnops (spelling)?? They are real tasty and warm you up very well. Served in a thermal mug, different from the soda mug, and very, very yummy! The "Booze Mama" on the Serenade will come along on the deck with her rolling cart and serve you whatever you want! They have nice toasty warm blankets out on deck on Glacier Day as well. It is great! ENJOY!

They served Hot Chocolate free on deck at Hubbard Glacier. They always had hot water at the drink station at Windjammer. Sometimes they had hot chocolate packets out there. Sometimes we had to ask for them. I suggest bringing your own packets. They always have the hot water ready.

They had the hot chocolate packets out in the windjammer on Radiance last year, and if you have a suite, you will have a hot water kettle in your cabin.

As far as I can recall, there are free hot chocolate packets at the coffee stations on ALL RCCL ships.

Wow. I didn't realize the amenities on an Alaskan cruise! I'm sold. I think I'll have to book one for next year. Thanks for your info...

On my Alaska cruise 2 years ago we never saw the blankets but we had the hot chocolate. The Hubbard Glacier is absolutely stunning:) :)

Sue,

Thanks! You have now completed the entire picture in my mind. If I look closely, I can see myself on the top deck with that "Peppermint Pattie" cocoa!

Seriously, thanks for the picture. This, along with the other pictures of Alaska I have seen make an Alaska cruise a top priority on my "to-do" list.

I dont remember free hot cocoa,but I do remember them selling the insulated coffee mugs with something in them?? :confused: :confused: This was in 04.....

Beautiful picture Sue!!!

One of these days we will do an Alaskan cruise :)

On Serenade last season same thing - I don't remember 'to go' cups, but I do remember them selling the hot chocolate with our without the good stuff in theinsulated coffee mugs - we had ours with Bailey's after we did our walk around the deck - perfect way to warm up.

While in Hubbard Glacier we had the hot chocolate with Kahlua....in a RCI thermal glass. I think they were something like $5 each but worth it.
