Drink package

[ranchette]

Can someone explain how the drink package works on the Venezia? Do you get it on the first day?

Thank you 

If i am on a 4 night cruise I would only pay for 3 days? Is that correct?

After 15 drinks are you cut off, or do you just have to start paying for them?

15 drinks is the limit for everyone, but I think it is a "soft" limit. I've seen bartenders override it on the POS system.

Yes. If you leave out of New York or Texas, you pay for one day less because Cheers ndoen't start until second day.

I have a question and seen different answers related to the added 18% tip.   Is the 18% added to the price of the package or added to each drink?  I saw some old comments on this forum that said it was 18% of the cost of the package but that can’t be right.

Yes, its added to the package (at least if you purchase prior to cruise).  But it never hurts to have a few $1 bills in your hand as you go up to the bar to add to it, I've always found that helps with expedited service etc...

If I purchase the drink package on the ship can I use my OBC to pay?

You can use your OBC to pay even if you purchase several months in advance.  Just process the check out and on the left side there will be a prompt to use your OBC to pay etc.

 

The drink package is cheaper if you purchase prior to sailing.

So it’s not 18% of each drink?   Let’s say the package costs me $420 ($60 a day times 7 days). I will pay 18% on the $420?

Correct, $75.54 will be added as gratuity at time of purchase for a 7 night cruise.
