DivaDeaconess Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 We've purchased the deluxe beverage package for our upcoming cruise. Are double shots an option? Is that something that is allowed/included with the deluxe package should we want double shots in our cocktails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I've never asked for double shots, so I don't know, but with just about every drink I've had poured for me, the bartender pours a full jigger over the glass and then continues to pour more liquor into the glass as the jigger is dumped in. I'd estimate that each drink I have ends up being about a shot and a half. Besides, do you really need each drink to be a double since you've already got unlimited drinks with the DBP?

wordell1 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Officially, no. This is an area where tipping comes into play DivaDeaconess, WesKinetic, Matt and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesKinetic Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 @wordell1 hit it on the head. Officially, the answer is no but if they know you're tipping, the odds of getting it your way definitely increase. Another option if you're travelling with someone else with a drink package: one time I asked for a double something-or-other. Bartender said he couldn't "officially" make me a double without an upcharge (which I was prepared to pay anyway) but, since I was there with my wife, he rang it in as two drinks--a single of the one I wanted plus an extra shot on the side.

Since shots are priced individually, I don't think so! https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/beverage-package-sharing-policy Q Can I order multiple drinks at a time with Royal Caribbean's all-inclusive beverage packages? A No. As this is a personal package, only one beverage per guest will be served. No, packages can be purchased by individual guests. All packages are for single guest use and cannot be shared by multiple people. Any guest wishing to purchase an alcoholic beverage package must do so for all guests of legal drinking age in the same stateroom, for sailings on or after December 31st, 2017. Guests who have a reservation with payment may also contact 1-800-398-9819 for Pre-Cruise Planning Assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorCruiser Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I’ve asked and received floaters on top of a drinks many times Pattycruise and DivaDeaconess 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Dick Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 On the other hand, if I ask for a drink that the recipe calls for 1 oz of this, 1 oz of that, and 1 oz of the other thing (and a mixer, of course), they only charge you the 10, 11, 12, or $13.00 for it. So, if I ask for 2 shots of Fireball, for example, why wouldn't they just go ahead and serve up the 2 shots? Pattycruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qeyton Dude Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Nope, not on RCCL that I know of. Before COVID on NCL you could do it all day long, their policy was different, clearly stated two at a time was allowed. BTW: their drinks desperately needed it too, exact jigger, no more, even when tipping, was my experience. Both out of Boston and NYC.

WAYNO Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 I treat my servers well. Often when I order a whiskey/rocks, they announce they brought me a double. And if for any reason they were not allowed to do so, I'd order back to back drinks. Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spang1974 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 As a tribute to someone I have lost, I always have a double crown and coke on my cruise. I always offer to pay, and have never had an issue getting this included, as I only ask once. I personally don't need to have more than the one as I have the drinks package. If I get pushback I just leave it but I suppose a hack or way around this is to fill a freestyle coke cup with 3/4 coke. order a shot, and pour it in the cup, when they come back for my drink order later, order another shot, pour it in the cup. Tadahhh, double crown and coke. Pattycruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestben Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Through my experience if we ask for extra liquor or a drink and a shot there has yet to be an issue, but to each their own DivaDeaconess and Moby Dick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
