fdk71265 Posted May 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi there what are the charges for alcoholic drinks and the soda card on Holland America? I just took and Ncl cruise and it was about $9 for a drink and $48 for a soda card for the week. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmorejj Posted May 26, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2006 WOW!! that`s expensive! HAL is cheaper than that but don`t tell them! Mixed drinks start at around $4.95. and go up to about $7, similarly, wine starts around the same amount. Beer is $3.95 for domestic and about $4.95 and up for imports. There is usually a cocktail of the day for $3.95. Can`t help on the soda card, but I know it`s cheaper than what you quoted........jean:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjane Posted May 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2006 My DH got a margarita for about $7. I think the bottles of wine in the dining room start at around $28 and go up from there. The soda card was $18 for 20 sodas. You get a punch card and they just punch it each time until all 20 are done. We only used about 1/2 of it, and then DH gave it away to some kids around the 5th day. happy friday! sarahjane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuroelf Posted May 26, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2006 HAL has a gift order form for delivery on board. One of the items is a 20 soda card for $18.00...they also offer a more expensive Coffee/Latte card ($39.00 for 8 drinks)...You can also pre order wine/liquor by the bottle to be dlivered either to your stateroom or to your dinner table....

spendalot Posted May 27, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2006 If you are lucky enough to get our old room you will find our half used card in the bible... We could not use up the 20 sodas card in a week even though there were two of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croman02 Posted May 27, 2006 #7 Share Posted May 27, 2006 How do you preorder liquor sent to your room? That would be nice to be able to have a cocktail in the room while dressing for dinner!! When we were on a Panama Canal cruise on HAL a few years ago you could buy liquor in the dutyfree shop and take it to your cabin for slightly more than saving it til the end of the trip.

Willsot Posted May 27, 2006 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I just pulled out our drink charge receipts from the Veendam in April. We had the "martini of the day" in the Crows Nest every evening before dinner. Those were $4.87 each (all the prices I'm quoting include the service charge). Had scotch rocks a few times for $5.46 each. Nice glass of cabernet at dinner was $5.75. Budweiser beer was $4.58 (they also offer buckets of beer bottles on ice, we didn't try those but saw many people with them around the Lido pool). 16 oz. cafe mocha in the Explorations Cafe was $3.28, which I didn't think was too bad.
