While there are plenty of activities to enjoy on board without a drink in hand, unwinding with a beer, cocktail, or mocktail can be a delightful part of your vacation experience. So… should you invest in a drink package?
In this video, we dive into the different drink packages available on the Rotterdam, share our opinions, and highlight some of our favorite beverages from our journey!

Drink Packages on Holland America Rotterdam
Signature Beverage Package
Price: Starting at $54.95 per person, per day
Includes:
Onboard beers (can, bottle, or draft)
Spirits, cocktails, and wine by the glass (priced at $11 and under)
Premium coffee drinks like espressos and cappuccinos from the Grand Dutch Cafe
Juices, mocktails, Coca-Cola products, and bottled water
Limit: 15 drinks per day (includes non-alcoholic beverages)
Tip: If you don’t hit the 15 drink limit, order extra waters (still or sparkling) to take back to your room. It's great to have some cooling in the fridge for late-night thirst or to pack for morning excursions.
Elite Beverage Package
Price: $59.99 per person, per day
Includes: Everything in the Signature Beverage Package, plus:
An extended selection of premium spirits, cocktails, and wine (priced at $15 or less)
Have It All Package
Price: $55 per person, per day
Includes: Everything in the Signature Beverage Package, plus:
Wi-Fi access
Credits for specialty dining and shore excursions
Our Choice: We found the Have It All Package to be the best deal. The additional Wi-Fi and dining credits made it totally worth the small price difference from the Signature Package.
Quench Package
Price: $17.95 per person, per day
Includes:
Premium coffee drinks (espressos, cappuccinos)
Juices, mocktails, bottled water, and Coca-Cola
Limit: 15 drinks per day
Coca-Cola Package
Price: $8 per person, per day
Includes: Unlimited soda
Note: Daily rates are before gratuities, so the final cost will be higher.
Important: Drink packages are applicable at most onboard locations, including specialty restaurants (excluding Gelato). Bartenders will scan the room card for everyone in your package, and typically you can only order one drink at a time per package.
Our Experience
Bar Variety: Many bars offer unique cocktails that match their theming. For example, the Half Moon bar had prohibition-themed drinks, while the Sun View Bar offered summer vibes options.
Beer Selection: Vast options like Heineken, Corona, Red Stripe, and Hoegaarden.
Cocktail Quality: Varied by bartender and location, but overall enjoyable.
Overall, the Have It All Package hit the spot for us. While we enjoy a drink from time to time, we didn’t mind missing out on premium spirits, and the additional perks of Wi-Fi and dining credits were a fantastic bonus.
