Marie50 Posted March 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Is an automatic 15% put on to all bar purchases as on other cruise lines? Also, am I allowed to take my own soda onboard with me? Is there a small refrigerator in the stateroom? First NCL cruise on the Breakaway in June. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Breakaway will have mini-fridges in the rooms although I'm betting they will; but you are able to bring soda on-board. In Miami we just put a luggage tag on a 12 pack of Coke and it showed up in our cabin later that day. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlyspups Posted March 13, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I don't know if you're aware but ncl now offers an all you can drink alcohol and soda package. It's about $50 per day per person but the gratuities of 15% are included. I made the mistake off tipping on each of my drinks last month on the Jewel, before I saw that it was included. Can't wait until the breakaway! Does anyone have any recently updated info on the kings warf???? I seriously don't want to have to use tenders to get off the ship.

They do not on the Epic. Anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ultimate Beverage Packing (UBP) is $49 pp / day and does not include the 15% gratuities. On our 9 nights cruise it cost $1014 for the two of us, UBP + tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted March 13, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2013 To the OP: keep in mind that when you sign for your bar tab, the slip will already have the 15% auto-gratuity added to your total. However, there is also a "Tip" line for you to add an extra tip if you so desire. At a glance, you might not realize that the 15% is already included and might add an amount to the "Tip" line without intending to do so. If you're good with the 15% auto-gratuity, you can just put "0" in the "Tip" line, draw a dashed line through the area, or just leave it blank. Of course, you still have to sign the slip.

On our 9 nights cruise it cost $1014 for the two of us, UBP + tax That wording I don't think is quite correct. The charge is $49 pp day and the 15% gratuity is added onto that total at the time of purchase. You would not be billed the 15% again when the drinks are then served.

That is correct it is not $49 plus tax but rather plus 15% tip or $56 a day. Sent from my iPhone - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
