@Dereky80What do the asterisks on those expensive whiskey's correspond to?

Good catch on the asterisks. I didn’t see those. You’re probably right and those get excluded. 
 

I guess the agent I spoke to didn’t notice them either. 
 

The list is from bird’s Prima review.

That is NOT TRUE if you are talking about the Premium Drink Package (which is the standard drink package included with the Free at Sea).  As described by Bird Travels above, that standard package includes only drinks that are $15 or less.  That is a huge selection of drinks with the "well" alcohols at each of the bar.  However, there are many pours (of booze and wine) that are more than $15.

 

Any drink ordered that costs more than $15 per glass is charges the difference plus 20%.

ie:  a $20 drink will be charged to your on board account as $6.00  ($5 +$1 gratuity)

 

However, if you upgrade to the Premium Plus drink Package ($29 per day +20% grat) you can get those higher end drinks (Whiskey's, Vodka's, Tequillas, etc.) without extra charges.  

Whiskey's/Ryes, such as Gentleman Jack, Woodford Reserve, Whistle Pig all exceed the $15 per pour.

We are big whiskey drinkers and that is a major reason we always upgrade to the Premium Plus; so we can enjoy those selections without the extra fees.

 

Items such as Louis XIII is not considered a "drink", but is classified as an "Experience".  You will not get that for free in any of the drink packages.  They will discount the cost by either 20% or 40% depending upon which drink package you have (premium or premium plus)

Sorry, you are right. I meant premium plus. We get the premium package for free and I am considering an upgrade to the premium plus. I spoke to an agent and specifically asked if the whiskeys on the attached list were included and they said yes.  The prices go up to $495 and ounce. 
 

I spoke to an NCL agent and was told that all drinks that are sold by the glass are included in the premium beverage package. I specifically asked if that includes all the whiskeys at the whiskey bar including the ones that are over $100 an ounce and she said yes. Has anyone had any experience with this?  Is it true?  If it is, it’s a no brainer for any whiskey drinking isn’t it?
