Just booked them for my honeymoon travelling Miami to Southhampton and then Barcelona to Venice respectively in April and May next year. They are rated 4.5 and 4.0 star so my expectations aren't huge, but hoping they will still be great. Anyone been on either of these to ships before?
Also, are the drinks/cocktail packages worth it? Looks to be about $50Aus each night for both of us, and we have to book for both of us or none and for the full length cruise, 14 and 12 days. I'm sure we could put a dent in it for half the time but some days will be flat out checking out the sights onland so may not feel like drinking too much. Yay or Nay?
Cheers
I haven't been on either ship, so can't comment. Can only comment on Royal Caribbean in general from what we've experienced, and have found them excellent.
As far as the drinks package goes, which ship is that on? Royal only do wine packages don't they? I guess the thing to check is the inclusions, for example, when we sailed on Celebrity Cruises, we did a drinks package and it worked out to about $50 per day too, on a 15 night cruise. But it included drinks to the value of about $11 or $12, which meant i could get premium whiskies, which i like, e.g. 18yo Jamesons. It doesn't take many of them to reach your daily quota. My wife drank cocktails which are $10- $12 ea too, so again didn't take long to hit quota. Some of the bigger drinking days, i would have easily drank over $150 worth of alcohol/non-alcohol drinks, so definitely would have come out on top.
Hi Farbs,
Am pretty sure you will find that RCCL (Royal Caribbean) also cover other drinks in their packages. They are run by the same company that runs Celebrity so am pretty sure their drink packages are similar. I can't be sure though as I don't personally drink alcohol.
Cheers
Yes, you are right, i just checked..thats great! When we went on RCI in 2010, they only had the wine package available. I'll be all over this
