Spang1974 2 Report post Posted October 19 I was gonna quote the same. However I have yet to figure out if these menus change when sailing from the UK, Europe, or the Mediterranean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy 4 Report post Posted October 19 If the cruise is paid, gratuities included, is tipping still expected with each drink purchased? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twangster 17,174 Report post Posted October 19 The daily automatic gratuity is for specific crew such as cabin attendant and dining staff. It doesn't cover bartenders and waitstaff in beverage positions. 1 NEbluebird reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varies, but if you are looking for best price buy it before you cruise. Edited October 19 by Spang1974 Spelling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly their insistance on buying a package for every adult in the cabin amounts to a "fine" in my case! My wife will probably drink two nights of a 14 day cruise! Also I NEVER drink spirits! 😞😭 1 NEbluebird reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. RoyalMoyal 55 Report post Posted October 19 On Anthem out of Bayonne, Molson Canadien is offered.. but on Freedom out of San Juan it is not. The beer offered varies ftom ship to ship.... the Molson was in a large can, only in the Solarium, it was $8.00 plus gratuities. It was American Molson... distributed in the USA. 1 Tommy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to at least purchase the Refreshment Package for your wife. For the best prices do this before you get onboard. It does require a phone call to Royal to make the purchase to override the requirement of both having the Deluxe package. The Deluxe package was $89/day onboard my last cruise. It was regularly $49-$52/day in the cruise planner. Totally worth calling and getting your wife the Refreshment Package (which is typically $20-$22/day in the cruise planner). 1 Tommy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
