Have it All now Excluded from Honor Bar in Neptune Lounge

[Hobar]

If the drinks in the Neptune Lounge are not included, then do we just pay for them separately?  (I’ve never been on any line other than all-inclusive for past 20+ last years, and I am finding it a bit - actually, a lot - frustrating and confusing that HAL changes its rules on a whim.  I am sailing HAL for first time March 2024 and wonder how many more iterations of rules there will be.  I don’t care much what it is, but just want to know in advance.)

If you don't have a drinks package, the alcoholic drinks in the Neptune lounge are charged to your cabin account. (I'm not sure about sodas and other non alcoholic drinks though.  Others can tell us please)   If you do have a drinks package, the lounge drinks are counted against the package.

We have the drinks package (as it is part of HIA, which is what this thread is about).  My question is, specifically, whether the alcohol in the Neptune Lounge is included in the drinks package, or if I will be charged separately since there is conflicting information.  

Seems there are so many “rules” and they are constantly changing.

@Hobar Yes, those staying in a Neptune or Pinnacle Suite can get drinks in the Neptune Lounge.  Your drinks are included in your beverage package (part of your HIA). 

 

(The "rule change" people were talking about was a very short-lived experience that quickly was stopped.  I highly doubt that this rule will change again!)

 

What ship and cruise will you be sailing on?  Some of your other questions on the other threads are ship dependent so we could customize answers better knowing which ship/itinerary.

Has anybody found it in writing that alcoholic drinks in the Neptune Lounge are included in the drinks package?  If so, where, I want to print the confirmation for my next cruise.  Thank you.
