Shay Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hello, If I have the refreshment drink package and I want to order a Pina colada, would I pay the difference between the cost of a mocktail and traditional Pina colada or will I be charged the full price of the Pina Colada? I heard you can pay the difference between speciality drinks when you have the deluxe package and I wanted to know if it worked with the refreshment package too.

smokeybandit Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I would assume you'd be charged full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringCruisePlanner Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 this must be investigated further. I think you may be on to something. My guess is you could pay the full price of the associated liquor (rum, tequila, gin, etc) that you want with your mocktail, which run about $8 each based on the liquor prices in Matt's blog post here. You'd probably end up with some unhappy and confused bartenders trying to order drinks this way as well. But I guess nothing is stopping you from ordering the two separately and mixing them yourself Cruiser: "I'd like to order a Pina Colada mocktail and a shot of rum. Oh, and can you mix the rum in the mocktail, please?" Vancity Cruiser and Shay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryresangel Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Oh good question because I do not often drink, but I occasionally indulge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have 2 drinks max, but oftentimes I won't have anything with liquor in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHollyS Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I have a piggy back question. Does the non-alcohol package (with mocktails) cover specialty coffees? ** I know not Starbucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitsmom Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 You just pay for the shot of liquor that you add. This is what we do too as we aren't big drinkers at all (usually 1 but maybe 2 daily) that is why the DBP is not feasible for either of us.

San Diego Garrett Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Had I not gotten the DBP I was going to do that exact thing. Order a virgin drink with a cheaper shot on the side. whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Yes. Order a virgin drink with the shot on the side and you'll just pay for the shot. Sometimes they will mix it in for you if you ask, but you need to make sure they understand what you are trying to accomplish with respect to using your package and paying the difference. You can't walk up and order a pina colada and expect it to be charged any other way than for a menu priced pina colada unless they know.

Karen B Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 We are going on Liberty on Dec 5th, 2021 and are looking at the drink packages. Can someone tell us the cost of a shot and also do RCCL still have daily cocktails on special? This seems to be top secret. If they do have specials, what are the prices? Thanks and happy cruising.

Neesa Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 @teddy I hope you have an amazing sailing. Would you be so kind as to inquire as to the cost of a shot of rum? I'm as interested as @Karen B. We almost always just get the refreshment package because we just don't drink that much alcohol, and when we did get a frozen drink on the island we just ordered it paying full price, this is a great idea! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGTLH Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 40 minutes ago, Neesa said: cost of a shot of rum? Anywhere between $8 and $13, plus 18% gratuity. Kraken, Malibu, and Myers's run $9 while Pyrat runs $13. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
