Just returned from Canary cruise on Island Excape, and sadly all Restaurants are Buffet unless you are prepared to pay for the A'le Carte in a seperate Restaurant.

Hi I posted a review in the review section. We just returned last week and also had the free drinks package. There were certainly plenty to choose from. They give you a list spelling it all out when you get there. You get house brand rum, vodka and gin. Also Gordon's gin, Grants and Teachers whisky and Napoleon brandy. (Large measures). Mixers also included. Boddingtons, Stella and Strongbow cider, soft drinks by the glass. A choice of non alcoholic and alcoholic (about 10) cocktails. Port, sherry, martini etc. Red, rose (French) and white (Pinot Grigio) wine. I would be surpised if there is not something there you like!

I think someone's posted this on the forum page. We've not tried the Thomson's package yet, but got it for £69 for Feb, and have picked up that it also covers speciality coffees and smoothies, as well as the alcohol and soft drinks.- Jo.

Thanks Jo,will have a look at the forum page to see if can get some info.We were lucky as our AI deal was free.Having said that its probably not free as such and included in the cost of our trip.
