No time limits between alcoholic beverages on Royal.

Wow, that could cause a riot!

Actually, there is a time limit in the Royal point of sale system. I did a personal tequila taste test on BOS during our 1/21 sailing. During the conversation with the bartender he told me he could only enter one of the shots in the POS. He said there is a time limit between drinks. That being said, the bartenders on Brilliance did not enforce that limit and will just give you another drink without putting the "sale" in the computer. So, no worries.

They will refuse him if he orders back to back drinks with zero time in between. Packages are for one person only and no one should be slamming down drinks that fast. Waiting ten minutes or so won't kill him.

I have found that large tips tend to override many things.

Interesting, did not know that. Did they say what the time limit was?

If the bartender sees you're slamming beers down, they aren't going to "hold" you to a time limit...until they think you're blotto!

Is it ok with you if a person slams down two full sugar sodas in a row?

Can I chow down two orders of French fries in a row? How about the child

I saw having the vacation of his life and slamming down three soft serve ice cream cones in a row?

 

Even though none of those things happen in everyday life but on a one week vacation can be common. Maybe you could just make us all a short list of what is unacceptable according to you. Don't forget to include the stuff that won't kill a person to do without but that you find unacceptable.

No way it would be a short list especially if all the great parenting advice was added in.

I was told on Navigator last year there was a 15 min wait between drinks, you can not order a double, if there was no wait you could get a double. But no limit on amount of drinks, I have no problem with 15 mins

I had not heard of a time limit, except on the use of the Freestyle machines. Maybe this is something new they are just implementing.

This is only for drink packages correct? Time limit I mean.

[monctonguy]

I was told there was as well...but anytime I mention it on any boards I am told by others no there isn't.

 

I haven't had an issue with it, but I could see it being an issue if you do a shot and then they make you wait 15 mins for a beer.

 

Don't need doubles though...drinks are mixed plenty strong I can assure you.

When we were on Allure and Brilliance with friends there were multiple times we ordered drinks "back to back" and it wasn't because we were "slamming" them down...

There were actually a few drinks we didn't end up liking and turned around and ordered different ones immediately!'

Also, there were times when we ordered shots and then an actual cocktail/beer directly after with no issues.

 

So, in our experience they have never refused service to someone ordering drinks in a short time period and if people were "slamming down drinks that fast" it really wouldn't have bothered us one bit :) We are all on vacation to relax and have fun!

Correct.

I got into a argument with bartender last year, we had just came from concierge club with a drink and barmaid didn't want to give me another drink since I already had one, only bartender I have had problem with on RCCL
