drinks package quick one

[70054609]

If I get one of the alcoholic drinks packages will I have to sign the receipt? Can't remember when in the past have had the soda package only

It really depends on the ship. I have had the package in Europe on both the Grandeur and Splendour and have never signed a slip, but reading on here, it seems that is not the Normal thing. Maybe because it's in Europe.

You may get different answers on this but, it was my personal experience with the alcoholic drink package on the Freedom last October was that, if we lingered at a bar and had the same bartender, we only signed once; however, when we left and went to a different bar or even came back to the same bar later (bartender change), we had to sign again. I'm thinking it may have had something to do with the bartender and/or server change.:rolleyes:

We just got back from the Explorer of the Seas.

 

For the most part, yes, we had to sign for our drinks.

One waitress told us that she gets about .30 cents for each receipt she turns in.

 

When we sat for a few drinks and tipped extra, then we didn't seem to have to sign for each.

As others have responded, there doesn't seem to be a standard.

 

On the Majesty in Feb 2013, I had to sign a receipt for every drink. On the Independence earlier this month, I didn't have to sign any receipts.

 

I had the Premium Package both times.

On Serenade last month we never had to sign a receipt.

On Allure the week before Christmas, you still had to sign the slips. I will say that there were a few times the bartenders would not hand me a slip but not often. I didn't find it was an issue. In fact, I kept all the slips to figure out if I made out on the package so I would know if it was worth it for the next cruise.

 

The answer was, "yes".

We were just on Brilliance and didn't have to sign at all.

We were on Brilliance in January and didn't sign any slips, either.

When we were on Allure, we had to sign every time.. Any other have experience on Vision?

Not that I can't believe it's just inconsistency in ship policy but I hate to think it could be the individual servers hoping to get and additional tip on the slip. We tried it on Celebrity and we were pretty close to the break-even point so no slips really made it worth while. Until they stop the slip signing, I think I'll skip the package on Royal.

So having to sign your name a few times a day is a big enough inconvenience to not purchase a drink package? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

 

Some people...

 

You realize that without a drink package you are going to have to sign slips any time you order a drink right?

[S&Jboat]

On the Oasis in January we never signed a slip and in the MDR we only had to give the drink waiter our card the first night. :)

At tip can do the job as another member mentioned :)

Read it again and this time actually think about what I wrote. :rolleyes:

One of the benefits of the package was so people didn't have to sign each time and be given receipts.

 

We did not have to sign on the Oasis last December.

On Oasis over Christmas we had the drink package, utilized it heavily :D and never once signed a receipt the entire time.

[mpoole3]

Also on the Oasis with package - You dont sign any slips!

 

I've heard they often do on the Allure.

[jackie101]

went on the Enchantment this month and did not have to sign 1 slip

[pbs14]

Just booked for a 7 night on the Jewel next year...

 

Do we pay 7 or 8 days for a drink package?

 

Thank you!

You would pay for 7 days if you purchase pre-cruise.

[Deeliteful]

I didn't sign any receipts on Adventure either in November.

Wow, I wish I could say the same. Had to give the card over every night on Oasis in Dec., and it always seemed to take a long time to process. Of course we did probably confuse the heck out of them by being a table of 6 with 3 Susans. :D

 

To the original question, I *think* I only had to sign when I got the glass with it. I don't remember signing anything that did not have a charge on the receipt.
