Dragon66 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 I will be getting the refreshment package on our next cruise for our party. Does anyone know if there is a minimum amount of time that has to pass before i can say order another soda or bottled water? Quote
Tmorin Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 Interested as well...also can we order more then one drink at a time?? Quote

I've read online that as long as you have multiple sail cards with you that will allow more than one drink. I cannot find definite confirmation of time lapse required between drink orders.

WAAAYTOOO Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 No time limit between drinks. As long as you have 2 seapass cards (and both people have the UBP) you can get 2 drinks. Dragon66 1 Quote

Just read that you can order a water or soda from one bar and another one at another location on way back to cabin for later. thanks for info.

sk8erguy1978 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Posted February 10, 2020 True story. Friend (who just ordered a drink): what's he drinking that looks good. Bartender: labadoozie. Me: oh, that's yummy. Friend: I'll take one. Bartender: sorry, you cannot have two drinks at once. Friend: okay, chugs drink. Can I have a labadoozie. Bartender: Okay, coming right up. So, no, they don't seem to have a time limit. FManke, Spang1974, DaiC01 and 3 others 4 2 Quote
Tigerlaw Posted February 10, 2020 Report Posted February 10, 2020 So here's my version of the question. next week i am going to have the refreshment package or the medium level drink package. Would I be able in the morning to get a coffee say in the morning And then on the way back to the room get a soda from a freestyle machine to put in the fridge in the room for later that day? Quote
spursfreak21 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Posted February 10, 2020 You can get soda from the freestyle machine 24/7 using the provided cup which has a chip in it to allow the machine to dispense the soda. On our last cruise my wife had a rough night (thanks to the DBP, if you catch my drift) and I went to the freestyle machine at 3AM to get her some Poweraid. Its nice to be able to use the machine whenever you need! Quote

Bartender: Okay, coming right up. So, no, they don't seem to have a time limit. I just came off of Explorer. There is technically a 15 minute wait between drinks, but most bartenders do not follow this as long as you are not being obnoxious (and certainly get to know your bartenders, they treat you like royalty). However, about 5 days in on our 9 nights, the lead bartender came back and advised that my hubby, me and a couple we met on the ship, could not order shots and drinks, at the same time ( we were making great use of our drink package). We could only get shots on ice (in hopes we would drink slower). So, the staff at our bar would take our drink orders (after we finished our current drink, and just delay sliding our cards (if under the 15 minute window). Not to say every bartender will do that (if they forget to charge, they get in trouble since they are audited every day, and so are some customers, like us. LOL!!). Have fun, and enjoy your cruise.

I ordered some kind of drink at a bar on Freedom, and my wife ordered what was clearly a better looking drink. I took one sip of hers, chugged my (mediocre) drink, and immediately ordered the same thing she did. FManke, Ogilthorpe and sk8erguy1978 2 1 Quote
FManke Posted February 12, 2020 Report Posted February 12, 2020 Having the refreshment package in the past, the bartender almost always asked if I wanted a bottle of water or two when I ordered any drink. Maybe they are a little looser since there is no alcohol involved. At least that was my experience. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

I'm a huge water drinker, and I also follow the rule of having one water per alcoholic drink, since any kind of hangover is usually associated with dehydration. I ALWAYS ask for (and get) a bottle of water with each alcoholic drink...never been turned down. If I don't drink the water, I stock pile a few for shore excursions since many of ours are physical and having plenty of water is important. It's a big benefit of the package that is often ignored.

SpeedNoodles Posted February 15, 2020 Report Posted February 15, 2020 I've never had problems grabbing two bottles of water from any venue. They don't get too wigged about water. Quote
DaiC01 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 Quick question is there waiter service in the bars or is it all at the bar counter only. Quote
