Holland America Bar Menus and Drink Prices 2024

One of my contacts at Holland America corporate was kind enough to send me the newly updated 2024 bar menus. Notable changes:

• Holland America has ended their partnership with James Suckling, so the wine list has the most changes.
• They’ve tried to bring down the price point on wines by the bottle by introducing some more economical options while maintaining the overall quality of the list.
• Guests will now just pay the difference in price when ordering drinks that are not included in their particular beverage package.

Also, stay tuned as Holland America will be introducing some regional cocktails created by a few celebrity mixologists in the coming weeks. I’ll share those as soon as I receive them.

Holland America Beverage Packages

Before we get the the bar menus, here’s what Holland America’s Signature, Elite, and Quench beverage packages include.

Signature and Elite

The Signature package includes drinks up to $11 and the Elite package includes drinks up to $15. The Signature package has a 15 drink limit per day including all zero-proof drinks (specialty coffees, sodas, mocktails, energy drinks, etc). The Elite package has a 15 drink limit per day excluding zero proof drinks (guests with the Elite package can enjoy unlimited zero proof beverages). If you have the Signature package and order a drink priced over $11, you will only pay the difference in price (so if a drink is priced at $14, you’ll pay $3). Similarly, if you have the Elite package and order something over $15, you will only pay the difference in price (so if a drink is priced at $18, you will only pay $3).

Quench

The Quench package includes all espresso coffee beverages, mocktails, smoothies, juice (except for fresh squeezed and cold pressed juice), soda, energy drinks, and water. There is a 15 drink limit per day.

Now, the bar menus! These menus are the same fleet-wide, but not every Holland America ship will have every bar, so double check your deck plans prior to cruising or once onboard.

Today’s Bonus Cruising Tip

I ALWAYS buy travel insurance* (especially during these uncertain times) to cover my cruises, but I NEVER purchase it through Holland America. It costs more and usually covers less than policies you purchase on your own. I go through sites like travelinsurance.com to compare plans and prices and get the best deal for the coverage I want. Spend less on insurance and spend more on cocktails, excursions, special onboard cruise experiences, and…future cruises!

Homework (10 points): Please share to the comments your favorite drink on Holland America.
