Maybe not so Deluxe.

[eastender]

On Allure this last week and had the Deluxe drinks package, something we would not usually buy. My failing for not reading the small print, but at around $75 pppd, was quite surprised when not able to have quite ordinary wines in the $14 - $18 bracket. Also on Labadee they were pushing the Cocktail in a pineapple which cost $12 for anyone. If you have deluxe drinks package it'll cost you $9. Couldn't get my head around that logic, it's not like you can eat the pineapple! Not a big deal and had a great cruise, just saying, because the guys selling in the promenade ain't gonna point that stuff out! Caveat emptor, as they say.

For wines over the package limit, you should have only paid the difference plus 18%.

Never had an issue with the package.

 

Ask which wines are covered by the package before ordering, and if something is over ask how much the difference is first.

 

Don't fall for the touristy upsells with the stupid pineapple or coconut....

If you get a Labadoozie in a souvenir cup you also pay extra. I just ask for a regular cup and don't get the upcharge.

Appears this may have been your first cruise with Royal buying the Deluxe package.  In the future buy the Deluxe package before sailing for around 20-30% less than on board.  I always feel sorry for folks who buy it on board at full price.

Sorry Eastender but you paid way too much for the Delux package. We are on Allure in 5 weeks time and we bought ours for £41.02 pppd (including the 18% gratuity).

Thanks for the heads up about the fancy cocktails.

Hi - don't spose you have a current wine/drinks list?

There's no single fleetwide list.  Each venue within each ship can have a different list.

 

This thread has a wine list from Majesty:

Thanks - sailing on Voyager in a year so expect prices to change a bit but just wondered about the wines that I would drink and whether they're covered by the drinks package.  Last sailed on Ovation a few years back and even then lots of wines fell over the package limit.

All wines available on the ship, up to $12/glass, are covered with the package.  If the cost is over $12, you'll have to pay the difference.
