No Kraken?

[AJK 22]

Opened the latest email from RCI and it had a chart of what is covered on Deluxe Beverage Plan. No Kraken on the list! Wait...what????

I've gotten it many times and we all know @Matt loves his Lava-flow made with Kraken!

There has been Kraken available on all my sailings within the last year.  I think you'll be safe, unless you are on a cruise with @twangster.  Just ask @Matt. 😉

Hubby likes to run the ship out of Kraken with the DBP.

Kraken is a really nice, smooth spiced rum that is popular around these parts. Especially tasty in tropical frozen beverages. Best enjoyed at sea!

Kraken was at every bar on our sailing in July.

Are you saying that it's not available on the ships anymore or just not included in the Deluxe Beverage Package anymore? I just saw Kraken available on my last Cruise (Independence). It would be VERY disappointing if they aren't including it in the DBP anymore.

All alcohol is included as long as it's under the price point for the package ($12 or $13 depending on the ship).  Otherwise you just pay the difference.  The lists that are out there are not all inclusive and sometimes new items are introduced or they get small shipments of something different than usual.  The brands and trends change over the years so treat the included list as just an example.

The lists aren't the end all, be all of what's included.  Suffice to say, Kraken is absolutely included.

And as @Lovetocruise2002 noted, be sure to order yours before @twangster absconds all the remaining supply.

I imagine they can't include absolutely everything in the list, and stick to listing what most people are curious about.  I'm sure Campari isn't on the list, but it's a staple for my husband at sea.

Snooze = Lose

Although that bartender did do a very generous pour to finish the bottle that time.

I had plenty of Kraken in my lava flows last month.  😁

Lol I initially misread that as you had plenty of lava flow in your kraken.

After 3 or 4 of them it could have went either way!

So does a Kraken lava flow cost more than just ordering a lava flow? And if a lava flow is the drink of the day can you ask for  it to be made with Kraken and still get the DOD price?

Kraken isn't a premium rum, so it won't cost more than ordering just a lava flow.  If you don't specific a brand of liquor for your drink they just use the house brand.  

Not sure about the DOD thing, although I've never seen it as the DOD.
