Yes, that's the way I interpret the document. Another non-frozen non-alcoholic cocktail would be a Virgin Mary.

Just got off the phone with RCCL and was told that the Non-alcoholic cocktails on the packages does not include the from Non-alcoholic drinks. They said that if you want a shirley temple or a non-alcololic bloody mary you can have that or you can get any other drink but they wont add the alcohol.

So does any other drink without adding the alcohol include frozen non-alcoholic cocktails or not? If not then I think RCI should make it clear that they consider cocktails and frozen cocktails to be two different and distinct categories.

Well, rules can change from bartender to bartender, and from ship to ship. I would ask once on board before purchasing a package. Royal Replenish includes lots of expensive non-alcoholic drinks, there's no logical reason on why they would not include virgin cocktails, not even the bartender's work should be a problem because the package includes gratuities.

Is the ultimate package a $10 max on martinis?

Both the Premium and Ultimate packages have a $12 max on cocktails and glasses of wine.

I thought the Replenish package included frozen mocktails. It doesn't????

Replenish still includes all non-alcoholic cocktails. For whatever reason, Royal has left that detail out of the latest documentation.

The $12 limit is that with or without gratuities so if I see a drink priced at $12 can I have it or would it put me over as the gratuities have not been added

The $12 limit is before gratuities. On those cruises were drink prices are shown with gratuities included, the limit is $14.

From my experience on the Explorer last October, the Royal Replenish package included frozen virgin mojitos. I would sometimes ask for a shot of rum as well. In some bars they'd give me 2 glasses, in others they'd ask if I was just going to mix them, and when I said yes, they said they'd just make a frozen mojito.

 

YMMV.

When sailing on The Vision three weeks ago I had virgin daiquiris with the Royal Replenish. The wording is tricky but there were photos of them on the tables where the packages are sold.

 

I suggest you buy your package on board and you will have no worries.

If this really matters to you, you should print out a copy of the package offerings and carry it with you. With multiple packages to contend with and nuances like this one somewhat open to interpretation, you want to "have a leg to stand on".
