Hi Roo Roo!

There are several cocktail parties on board where drinks are included, we had a minimal bar bill on the PG. We were there last month - the board here you will see reference to PIP - Party in Polynesia. A group of us went May 21st-28th.

It is a beautiful ship and we did enjoy her. We too used Brown and Keene and there are prices here:

With the in-room set up, you can make your own predinner drinks so they can be included. I bring my own martini shaker when I travel on RSSC but if you ask, they probably would provide you with one from Room Service.

Drinks run about $6.00 each in the bar, which is reasonable. You can order a drink in the dining room with dinner and it is included. I often order Sambuca or Grand Marnier and linger over dessert.

I love the name you have for the boards. I am not sure if it's a reference to Australia and the Kangaroos or if you are familiar with the Cairn Terrier who barks and makes a sound "Roo Roo". We have a Cairn and I often call her Roo Roo.
