I am sure that vat will be added every time you order a drink on the if you has a drink package, but my point is that now you can get a drink at least. When I was on Epic in september 2021 I think that I recall that they also added Vat to every Spirit/Alcohol order when in port. So that is not new.

This is from gusts currently on the Epic, why should they not tell the truth? 2 has confirmed this. As I remember there was also tax/VAT on the drinks in ports when we cruised with Epic in September 2021 so the Tax/Vat on drinks package is not new!

I got this from a current guest on NCL Epic in the Port of Livorno today! looks like NCL has paid for their Alcohol License and this is solved, Better late than never...

Most European ports has Tax/Vat on Alcohol/Spirits so when in port and you will get charged. It looks like NCL still only serve Beer and Wine in Italian an Spanish ports. I believe they did not paid for an Alcohol License. RCL, Celebrity, P&O does serve when in ports.

12 hours ago In Livorno!

Do you know what this thread is about? It does not seems that way! You do not offed me with calling me a girl. I must disappoint you. Should guest without the drink package not be aloud to buy a drink when in port?

I have a cruise with Getaway in june coming up (3th NCL Cruise) and I am so disappointed with NCL. This outrageous Non-serving in Southampton and now this "Only Beer & Wine when in port" in Livorno and other ports. If they had told me before I bought my Cruise fair enough but this sudden sign at the bar is not okay. I tried to push other people on Facebook to complain but they called me a troublemaker and alcoholic and so on. Now I see what happens on my cruise, if they do this "Only Beer and wine" Policy i am done with NCL. I have tried almost all (Main stream) Cruise lines and all are good on their own way. I chosed NCL this time because of the FAS and upgraded to Plus package, but if they not deliver and lie to me I will go to another Cruise line that treat me with decency and respect. I have recommended 3 other couples to Cruise with NCL and they did but I will not recommend NCL anymore.

I agree so much! I have a cruise with Getaway in june coming up (3th NCL Cruise) and I am so disappointed with NCL. This outrageous Non-serving in Southampton and now this "Only Beer & Wine when in port" in Livorno and other ports. If they had told me before I bought my Cruise fair enough but this sudden sign at the bar is not okay. I tried to push other people on Facebook to complain but they called me a troublemaker and alcoholic and so on.

Instead NCL cheat and screw you with the "Unfree at Sea" package 😂

Thanks! So did UK change their regulations? They must have since they can serve in ports now? 😂

What about spirits and cocktails?

Wonderful news! I hope you will get a Great Cruise! What about Spirits/Cocktails are they serving that?

I bought it online Upgrade Wifi/Plus/Specialty dining, I will try next week to get my money back, I should have bought it thru my Travel agent but it was so easy to do it online at NCL so I did that. This Upgrade was expensive so only get wine and bear is not acceptable. When that said to begin with I choosed NCL because of the Drink package FAS. So I feel cheated anyway maybe I am unfair...

Am I unfair? I paid for the Plus Package and I mean they should serve me at sea and in the Port. I get more and more Pi...d

This make no sense at all!! Bad bad Business decisions it could not be worse! Screw them HARD!! No communication Devastating strategy No compensation to affected customers If you want to destroy your Business this must be the perfect way to do that! Its stupid or more precise Idiotic!

Now it is "Unfree at Sea" 😂

This is Outrageous! Some ports?? "May" be served.... I am really Pi...ed!! What kind of communication is this???

I have cruised with many Cruise lines RCL, Celebrity, Carnival, P&O and 2 times with NCL, I think this Beer & Wine and restriction is outrageous! The Free at seas Pacakage was my main reason to chose NCL and now this BS! I am really P..sed actually!

Hello Guys I would like to hear from current guests (Or just disembarked) on ships visiting Spain and Italy! 1. Do you have this "Only Beer & Wine Policy" when in those ports? 2. Do they serve Spirits/Cocktails when you have the Drinks Package (In Ports) If not when do they open for serving Spirits/Cocktails? Is it 8:30 Pm or later? 3. Are you satisfied with this policy? Why do I ask about this? I have a Cruise with Getaway in June and I bought the Premium Plus Package. I think NCL should have told me about this "Only Beer and Wine" policy before i bought it. Just my opinion. I only cruise once or twice a year and do not go to bars the other part of the year so there for I pay a little extra for our drink package. I prefer premium brands and prefer Cocktails and not Beer and Wine. If you think this I weird thats okay with me but maybe you understand my curiosity to this subject regarding this "Wine & Beer" Policy. If my spelling is not correct bear with me I am danish and my English is rusty

I agree, we love to stay on the ship on some port days so we pre-paid for the Plus drinks package and now we can only get wine and beer! I feel they cheated me! Spanish and Italian ports and one French. I should have chosen a Celebrity Cruise instead there is no BS with them.

There are now rumors on Twitter about a nearly NCL Bankruptcy have you heard of that?

I agree!

I will ask is it fixed? If it was a mistake in UK, is it also a mistake in Livorno and Civitavechia?

I agree its a huge issue!!

What about the issues in Livorno and Civitavechia?
