My entire cruise was not wrecked by their absence. Just saying...

Oh dear. Another lie from NCL 😂 I was on the 4th May sailing. No such email in advance 😂

And what about those who drive to the port? You do realise drinking and driving us illegal in the UK don't you 😂

But on my 4th May sailing we did not know before we boarded that no.alcohol was being served 🙄

Good grief! We're not talking about a layman losing paperwork here, we're taking a multi million dollar company who have been sailing out of Southampton for years with no issues. It's absolutely ridiculous even consider they weren't given sufficient notice to pay port fees, yet all other cruise lines were 😂😂

Yes, I know this. I was on the 4th May cruise. Please see cybermirth's post above which seems to indicate there were no problems in Southampton on his trip

So, did they serve alcohol whilst in port in Southampton? They didn't on the 4th may sailing. They did serve out of all Scottish ports on that sailing. Please keep us updated as to the situation in other British ports.

Best and most informative response yet! This is exactly what I've been saying all along 👍

I wouldn't even bother responding to him/her any further. They clearly don't want to listen to the facts. I was on the Dawn last week so have first hand experience of what happened. I live in the UK and I know there have been no changes to the law or any new restrictions as NCL claim. Yet still he/she refutes those facts because of some bizarre notion that NCL must be telling the truth and everyone else is lying.

But we had the drinks package on the Dawn last week and still could not get served in either Southampton or Portland. They're just making things up as they go along aren't they!!

We were just given the beverage notice. When queried we were told the uk government had changed the rules. That was of course utter rubbish, as other ships sailing from Southampton were still serving alcohol

Maybe contact a national newspaper?

And we were on the Dawn and were told by the staff that the reason no alcohol was being served was because the UK laws had changed. We were never told that it was because they didn't have sufficient time to pay any fees 😂😂

There was no alcohol served in Portland on Saturday (we were on the Dawn). We were served alcohol in Belfast. However, I understand those on the Star weren't

You're winding us up. You must be. 😂 I was on the ship last week. I live in the UK. There are no such restrictions And funnily enough there was no mention about there being insufficient time to sort it out. We were categorically told by staff that the reason they weren't serving alcohol was because the UK had changed the law.
