Creator's Key Takeaways

don't make the same mistake that we saw two ladies fall for when they first went to a par of and thought they needed to pay for a drink

the staff were fabulous in here and it always amazes me how they take so many table orders and know exactly who to bring which drinks to

the coffee here is much better than the included coffee in the marketplace Buffet if you are a coffee drinker this is the place to come

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Don't be misled by bar menus that only show premium drinks; you can still order standard included drinks at any bar.
โœ“Use the ship's app to view the full included drinks menu.
โœ“Ask for tap water to avoid paying for bottled mineral water.
โœ“If you want better coffee, visit the Coffee Port instead of the buffet.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Paying for drinks that are actually included โ€” Know what is in your standard package and don't let the limited selection on individual bar menus fool you; you can order included items anywhere.
Cost of upgrading drinks โ€” Check the specific cost for your duration (e.g., ยฃ124 per person for 7 nights) and remember you can purchase premium drinks individually if you stick to the standard package.
