Clarea Posted January 24, 2014 #126 Share Posted January 24, 2014 However, it is best to give the price of a fountain soda since cans are not included in the package. I don't know the price of a fountain soda or I would post it. I never knew you could purchase a single fountain soda.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted January 24, 2014 #127 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I never knew you could purchase a single fountain soda.:confused: I'm pretty sure you can. Now I;m confused too!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseAddict1982 Posted January 24, 2014 #128 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I never knew you could purchase a single fountain soda.:confused: Yes you can and most of the times they won't even charge for it.

londonben Posted January 24, 2014 #129 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Disappointing to see both Guinness and Boddingtons are excluded from the premium package. Both are under $6 so it can't be to do with price. Anyone know why they are excluded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beer menu with with asterisks next to the beers that are excluded was made for the original beverage packages. I'm not sure those menus still apply to the packages in their current form. The best way to find out is to wait until you are onboard to purchase, and ask one of the bar staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs from Bston Posted January 25, 2014 #133 Share Posted January 25, 2014 We too are wondering what to do. (IOS in February) I think that I will do the Replenish Package...but still am confused about non alcoholic drinks.....do those include the frozen drinks??? Every other package specifies frozen drinks (not worried about any glasses). I like the idea of having everything paid for before we go though.

Every other package specifies frozen drinks (not worried about any glasses). I like the idea of having everything paid for before we go though. Here is what I receivecd to email questions I sent RCCI. The answers are in darker blue. Hope it helps! :) "Are virgin frozen drinks included in the package such as virgin Piña Coladas and virgin Strawberry Daiquiris? What other non-alcoholic drinks are in the package? Would all on the mixed drink menu BUT without alcohol be in the package? Yes. All non alcoholic cocktails are included. What Frozen drinks are in the package? The information says “. . . frozen drinks, non-alcoholic cocktails” or are they one in the same? This is the same.

harry0 Posted January 26, 2014 #135 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) We just got back from the Jewell and used the RR package-We found it to be very enjoyable. The following is what we averaged per person a day. 3-4 cups of coffee a day-which included , frapachino, lattes, cappuccinos,Americana, and teas. This was the best part of package. The last day we had to drink regular coffee-Blaaa 3 botles of water per day-for gym and bringing on shore. 2 sparkling waters (Pierre and Peligro) with diner and on our balcony 1 or 2 Fresh orange juice with breakfast in dining room or WJ-awesome-regular orange juice tasted like tang and plastic We did not have any frozen drinks but they were available.

Ocean Boy Posted January 26, 2014 #136 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Does any one here recall whether the Cafe Promenade on Oasis and Allure serves any specialty coffees like latres and cappuccinos or are they limited to Starbuck's on those two ships which, of course, is not covered in the Replenish package.

Rare dogo88 Posted January 26, 2014 #137 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Just an easy question from one who does not drink many cocktails. The Premium package lists call and premium cocktails. What is a "Call Cocktail"? Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahannah Posted January 26, 2014 #138 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Just an easy question from one who does not drink many cocktails. The Premium package lists call and premium cocktails. What is a "Call Cocktail"? Thanks, Dan A "Call" brand is a cocktail made with a specified, usually more expensive or higher-end, alcohol. You ask for a Hendrick's martini, rather than just a martini. These bottles are usually prominently displayed in back of the bar. "House" or "well" brands are the brands under the counter that count much less and are what you will get if you simply ask for a cocktail without a "call" brand. HTH.

Simonera Posted January 26, 2014 #141 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I will let you know as I am sailing Independence in a few days and have the premium package I would love to know what your experience did with the premium drink package. I will be going in March. Is bottled water incl? And can you get any wine under 12$ as noted on the website ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonodin Posted January 26, 2014 #142 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I know there are a million posts about this but I can't seem to get a clear answer. Just buy the package! These threads always crack me up. How much are you already into the cruise for? 3, 4, 5K? So what if you miss by a drink or two,(say $135 vs. $140), you may be out a whole $5! My DW and I drink enough coffee, non-alcoholic drinks, water and coke products when we are on the ship, that I am not worried what I owe at the end since I have already paid for most beverages. I do not drink alcohol, however, my DW will have a glass of wine with dinner. (We bring the two bottles of wine aloud on board which helps off set the glass price.) Enjoy the cruise!

July4 Posted January 26, 2014 #144 Share Posted January 26, 2014 We just got back from Western Caribbean cruise. Another couple and our selves all got our money's worth with the premium package. We did not over drink to get moneys worth just enjoyed ourselves each day. Was told bottled water NOT included, just a glass of water at bars. We are still debating about our next cruise in Alaska- because of the many long days at each port. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Oasis you could purchase specialty coffees in the Cafe Promenade, at dinner in the MDR, and at several bars...so not limited to Starbucks.

I would have definitely tried a different bar or went to customer service. We just sailed on the Liberty and I had the premium package. I had no trouble getting bottled water at all the bars.
