Hello. In my experience on NCL cruises, the Free At Sea / Free At Sea Plus drink packages cover you for the entire time you are a passenger (arrival through departure while on the ship). Some municipalities require that you be charged tax on the value of the drink while in port - if Galveston has this policy, then you’d be charged the tax on the listed price for the drink, but not be charged for the drink itself. Fellow NCL cruisers - if you’ve had a difference experience with your drink package coverage, please correct me. I hope this helps!

My partner is a veteran and we sailed on the Joy in September of 2023. Prior to booking with our travel agent, we registered through the NCL military page and confirmed veteran status through ID.me before we booked. We informed our travel agent to apply the 10% discount, which required some back-and-forth between Travel Agent and NCL. It all worked out. On the Guest Confirmation Copy (sent to us from NCL), the promo code “MAP10OFF” was listed at the top right of the first page. Further down in the document (under “Add-ons”), there was a “1 x Military Appreciation” also listed. Perhaps one (or both) of these is what triggered the Military Welcome Packet that was in our stateroom upon arrival and also the invitation to the Military Appreciation event. I hope this helps!

Hello Everyone! Fiancé and I will be traveling on the NCL Breakaway from the 1st through the 8th September, round-trip from New York, and are looking forward to meeting many new friends! We've had many fantastic experiences on our past few sailings and hope that this one will be great, too. We usually meet fun and interesting folks at the first LGBTQ+ event on the first night of sailing and wonder if anyone else might be traveling (or considering travel) on this trip. Cheers!
