BigWino Posted November 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Our agent tried a code I found on the board here and we were offered a beverage package upgrade from Aurea experience to premium package for $320 for the 20 night maiden voyage from Trieste. This is $8pppd. What all extra will be included and what is the general opinion as to whether or not it is worth it. We will definitely use the mini bar. Does it include drinks ordered from Room Service? Thanks in advance for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyjeremiah Posted November 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I just noticed that the premium package also mentions food ordered from room service. So if I have a Bella cabin with the premium drink package does that mean room service is available free of charge?

So if I have a Bella cabin with the premium drink package does that mean room service is available free of charge? I doubt it, JJ. That's why it states "food from the room service menu" specifically. You'd still have to pay the charge for the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds99jove Posted November 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Just wondering, will the bartenders do any drinks outside the menues? As long as they have the right stuff for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWino Posted November 25, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yes, they'll happily make whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds99jove Posted November 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yes, they'll happily make whatever you want. Awesome, I noticed from Beas link that they have disaronno, so I'll be sipping Amaretto Sour all week long 😁:cocktail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vllygrrl Posted November 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It's a little confusing...on the Premium package page it says Ultra premium brands are also included. Is this correct?

BigWino Posted November 26, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It says, "the entire bar list." It is confusing because some drinks in the bar list have two asterisks which the crew will state means the drink is not included in any plan. Patron is one of these so called "not included but on the list where everything is supposed to be..." Don Julio is included. Any additional details on getting them to honor the wording of the package terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to go to reception and get replacement cards. You can order high end liquor but their selection is not that broad, DH was drinking Zkappo rum (spelling) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeponcruising Posted December 1, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Is there a code to upgrade from mealtime to all inclusive and what would that cost? Seaside sailing. I know it hasn't sailed yet, but maybe someone from Davina sailings has knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted December 3, 2017 #15 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thank you for showing me. I appreciate it. You're welcome, Jeff. Bear in mind that not all bars will have the full complement of drinks that the list indicates. Some bars specialise; e.g. wine bar, cocktail bar, etc and some only carry a minimum selection.

Durban Posted December 13, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just wondering, will the bartenders do any drinks outside the menues? As long as they have the right stuff for it Yes they should, from my experience on Divina. They will also recommend their best liquor if just drinking ie Rum or Vodka. Once you have 536. (And they specifically look your it ) fresh squeezed orange [emoji521] juice, had that every morning. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
