Marc Van Niekerk Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 I am looking at the cost effectiveness of the Refreshment Package which for an upcoming sailing I can get for $20/day with the Memorial Day Sale. I'm sure the details are here somewhere but my searches have not been very fruitful.... Can anyone help with the cost of the following without a package: Soda Specialty Coffee Bottled Water Virgin Cockatils (Pina Colada, etc) Thanks in advance!

joshvc Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Specialty coffee is in line with starbucks prices on land (but the actual Starbucks kiosks on the ship are not included in the package), $4-6. I believe the virgin coctails run about $8 from other posts I've seen here somewhere. Water & Soda I'm less certain of, I think at least $2 for a bottle of water is a safe assumption for doing the math, soda is a little different since with the package you'll get a reusable cup for the fountain, but you do get access to cans or dispensed soda at bars too. I expect they'd charge for a cup of soda like a restaurant would, $3-4, but can't be certain. You also get access to the fresh squeezed juice at breakfast in the MDR, which I believe was listed at $4.50 on Enchantment last year. For us, the math works out, because we'll down 2-3 of the coffee per day on vacation, juice at breakfast, and plenty of soda and mocktails along the way.

WAAAYTOOO Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 It's been a while since I purchased a can of soda but I believe it is in the stratosphere, somewhere close to $5 now. It's totally outrageous. Marc Van Niekerk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten the juice at breakfast! That is the fresh squeezed from the Windjammer, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had it in the main dining room, I'm honestly not sure if Windjammer has it too, have to defer to other experts on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the orange squeezer machines on Harmony and Mariner..safe bet that you can get it in any Windjammer by asking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And gotten it in the MDR... joshvc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiralqueen Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Prices pulled from my recent sailing on Allure (liveblog in signature) Virgin frozen drinks (like pina coladas): $7 Specialty coffees (including lattes): $4-5 Fresh squeezed OJ: $5 Smoothies (if you are on a ship that makes them): $8.25 Water: ???? prob $2. Unknown because the bartenders never bothered to key it into the POS once they saw you have a beverage package.

JLMoran Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Fresh squeezed orange juice is something you have to specifically request when in the MDR. If you just ask for OJ they will get the “from concentrate” variety. In the WJ I was told to go to the bar there, as that's where they had the juicer installed.

When we were on the Indy in December, they were freshly squeezing OJ one morning in the WJ. There was a little station on one side of the WJ.

12thman Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Here's a link to a drink calculator that @Grenadyr made: I used it and decided that it's more cost effective to keep my refreshment package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
