JGSkid Posted November 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Recently cruised on Gem to New England. Sodas are 2.10 each and the package is 52.33 so 3.6/day is the break even. I enjoy having a drink in my room before dinner or bed. I found out that spirits can be ordered for your room before hand by contacting NCL for a price list - it's not widely advertised. A 1 liter bottle is $80-100 + tip. Although high that is half the price of buying drinks. Drinks are VO $6.60 / Manhattan $8.34 / Seagrams 7 $5.25 but a double is $9.49 so consider that. All in all the drinks are pretty comparable to bar drinks in most urban environments. Wine by the bottle in the room is about double street price - again quite reasonable compared to normal bar/restaurant prices. Been on the Gem 3x and it's a very good ship.

francina Posted November 26, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I am so happy I don't drink. Those prices are crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted November 26, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I rec'd the same list earlier this month -- nothing new nor removed, and the prices are the same, only they now present it with the $3 already added in (i.e. $83, $103, $123). Here are the mixers and garnishes listed separately, for easier reading. I do not quite understand what or where one "chooses once they arrive on board", but I hope to talk to Group Events tomorrow to set up my rum fix and will ask about that. Choose 3 mixers: • Bloody Mary Mix • Pepsi • Club Soda • Cranberry Juice • Diet Pepsi • Grapefruit Juice • Orange Juice • Pineapple Juice • Sierra Mist • Sweet and Sour Mix • Tomato Juice • Tonic Choice of 3 garnishes: • Apple slices • Banana • Carrot • Celery • Lemon slices • Lime slices • Maraschino Cherries • Orange slices • Peppers • Pineapple wedges • Pitted Olives • Strawberries I'm going to ask for strawberries, not for a garnish for my Rum and Diet Pepsi, but so I can eat them and a dark chocolate bar, and pretend my (non-existent) butler brought me chocolate-covered strawberries for sail-away!

crystalspin Posted November 26, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The contact person for the Norwegian Star is: Ana Batres | Group Event Coordinator Star 800 327 – 9020 ext. 26173 | fax 305 436 - 4147 GroupEventStar@ncl.com One might suppose that the email for other ships would be: GroupEvent[Other-Ship's-Name]@ncl.com -- without the brackets.

crystalspin Posted November 26, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Talked to Ana this morning and the answer for the mixers/garnishes is, You get them at any bar on board. I guess it is linked to the stateroom number, although we will have a copy of the receipt with us in our stack of documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
