Our cruise on the Escape leaves in a week (🎉) and it is completely sold out, which is to be expected. I've never cruised NCL before and we really want to take advantage of the drink package, but I keep reading that it takes 20-30 minutes to get a drink, minimum. Are there any tips as to where the best places are to get drinks (I love whiskey and my wife loves mixed drinks) that won't be super busy? Will they let us get two drinks per person to avoid having to stand in line so much? Also, I've read that some people tip at the bars when getting drinks with the FAS package. Is it customary to tip when you already were charged for gratuities? I don't want to be a cheapskate 😅
We're looking forward to trying to NCL, can't wait!
