Review summary

The phony drinks package. You are offered beverages up to $12 each. But nearly all cocktail and wine selections cost over $13, and if you exceed the $12 ceiling by even $.01, you are charged the entire price.

Thanks for your feedback. That's one of the reasons I didn't book any drinks package. I plan on paying as I go. Besides that, Grills cabins come with a coffee maker with pods and complimentary mineral water, so not many other drinks I would need other than beer or a simple cocktail. I wonder why your cabin (Queens Grill) didn't have a complimentary mini bar with mixers and full bottles of complimentary liquor? Unless there were other drinks you prefer.

Either pay the difference or don’t get the drink package or pay for each drink individually.

Great way to avoid being over charged for alcohol is to just not drink any on board. What a concept! 🤣
