jufrasin Posted July 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi all, I am sailing on the sinfonia from barcelona in october and am in a dilemma. I drink a LOT of soda fruit juice and coffee and the odd cocktail and would prefer to get the all inclusive package but the person travelling with me refuses as he says he will never drink that much. Am I right in thinking that everyone staying in the same cabin has to take out the package? This does not seem fair as if that is the case I will not be able to use the package and I was wondering if there is any other way to do it? I cant afford to pay for the package for two people which would end up costing me over 450 euros!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreosmile Posted July 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2014 You are probably better off to buy the drink vouchers then - they will still result in a discount and you don't need to both buy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted July 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2014 You won't save as much with the vouchers as you will with Allegrissimo but if your companion won't book it you really don't have a choice, and you will make some savings. As a matter of interest, why don't they think they won't drink enough, are they teetotal, only going to drink from the free beverage station in the buffet? The free included coffee is only available at breakfast in MDR and is not particularly good. The real stuff is night and day better. Even someone who doesn't drink cocktails etc can still break even or save with theAll inclusive, depending on what they normally like to drink. You also save 15% service charge on all drinks by prebooking the drinks package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmoMondo Posted July 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2014 AmoMondo, are you saying above that if you have breakfast in the buffet, there is no free coffee or juice? No, I'm saying that the only time you get free coffee in the MDR is at breakfast. The 24 hour beverage station is in the buffet, so you can get that there all the time. I personally don't like it and much prefer to get cappuccino or espresso from a bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and I do not drink coffee but our daughter and her friend do. And lots of it. Since we are footing the bill, I was hoping not to see hundreds and hundreds of Euros because of their coffee addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you may well still have a big coffee bill as they may well turn their noses up at the free stuff! Depending on what their poison of choice is, you may want to consider taking their brand with you and a cafetiere - plenty of hot water to be had at the buffet!
