Sun Ultimate Drink Package

Did they do away with the "Ultimate Drink Package all together? I plan to go on the Sun to the Bahamas 4 nights and I don't see any drink package offered at all! Do we just buy drinks ala carte now?

I believe the sun will offer free open bar like the Sky currently does on her short Bahamas and Cuba cruises . It was so popular NCL decided the sun needed to be the second ship to offer this So you will get the ultimate beverage package included in your fare when you book.

We were told by our NCL rep that our cruise on the Sun will be free alcohol. It is included in the fare for the cruise. there is no separate package to buy. Yeah!!

Think only the Cuba cruise's are all inclusive alcohol. Booked on a 4 day Bahamas 3/5/18 and have the drink pkg.

on the itineraries where they include the alcohol (not the pkg) - what about tipping the bartenders? Does anyone have any insight on how that works? If I need to bring extra cash I want to account for that!

Can anyone tell me if the bartenders on NCL make Bloody Caesar. We are going on a 18 day Panama Canal cruise in April and was wondering if I would be able to get my favorite drink. It is a very popular drink with Canadians. It is very different from a Bloody Mary

Thanks

The all-inclusive on the Sun does not start until the 3-/4-day Bahamas & Cuba sailings in May.

FREE booze - "BUT" the DSC increases to I believe $18.95 per person per day ?

Yes at least on the Jade the casino bartender could make a mean one for me.

You do not have to tip the bartenders. However it is help at times to tip your favorite bartender. They are will remember you and take good care to serve you quickly. They work very hard.

oh I get that - my question was more around the logistics, if there is no package - do you get an opportunity to sign a receipt for tipping, or do I need to plan on cash for tipping my favorites :D

No receipts and no need to tip extra in cash unless you want too.

I was on the same ship about a year apart and not only did the bartender remember me but the pours were always generous. Tipped him several times for great service. Several people were amazed when he called me by name the first drink (before paying with card).
