Technically, ordering a double is not covered or allowed by the drink package.  Drinks such as LIIT will have multiple shots in them.

In practice, many bartenders will pour into a shot glass and then add a bit more when pouring the shot glass into your glass.  That's not always the case though.

Ordering a drink with a single bill as a cash tip will often yield stronger drinks.  The drink package includes 18% gratuity so an additional tip is not required, but more often than not a tip yields better bar service.  Being generous on day one and using the same bar frequently will sometimes causes the bar staff to remember you if you tip (and that you don't).  That can have a lasting effect.  Maybe not a full double pour but often stronger drinks.  

To be honest though, there tends to be plenty of opportunity to consume drinks.  Making them double may get you there faster but over the course of the day regular drink availability is generally more than enough to get the job done.

 

Thank you for the response. I’m not trying to get the job done faster lol it’s just I prefer to drink doubles and drink less drinks and consume less liquids is all. I guess I’ll either order an extra shot on the side to add to my cocktail or bring some extra cash for tips:) thanks 

Hey! We bit the bullet and bought the deluxe drink package lol! I prefer to drink less liquids and stronger drinks. Do any of the cocktails have 2 ounces?or are the all only 1 ounces? Do you have to Order a cocktail and then a min later ask for a shot of vodka so u don’t pay extra? Thanks first time cruiser 

We paid $18.99 for 2 devices surf and stream for our December cruise on allure of the seas

Wonderful blog, I’ve enjoyed the pictures and everything you’ve been doing looks incredible! Thank you so much for checking on the vodka soda price! I really appreciate it:) 

Glad you’re enjoying the cruise so far! Would you be able to check the price on a vodka and soda water? Looking forward to reading more of your blog!

Thanks for you input! hopefully someone has a price for me  

I just see the price of vodka only that’s why I’m asking what the price is? Better idea of I need a drink package or not. 

First cruise ever and we are so excited! Haven’t decided if we are buying the drink package yet. How is vodka and soda water priced per drink? If the vodka is 7.95 is that the drink price or is there an extra price for the soda water mixer? Thanks so much!
