Beverage Package Question

[kirsty_r]

Can anyone tell me how you are charged after you buy the ultimate beverage package?

 

Do they take the card and swipe it every time, or do you just show it to them?

 

Is there a wait period in between drinks? For example, I et a drink, and have to wait 10 minutes to get another drink?

they swipe everytime including for soft drinks.

 

no wait - in some bars they will keep your account open, restaurants charge at end of meal even if you've had multiple drinks etc. If your drinking in a bar, they will offer you another as you are getting halfway down your current one.

 

ALso i had a false drink on my account (my card was swiped by mistake) and i had to really fight to have it taken off my account - 3 visits!! so don't rely on guest services removing overpriced drinks.

 

To be honest, i found very few drinks not included in the package. I didn't find it restrictive at all. I do feel the main problem would be premium cocktails like a martini. A lot of the premium spirits do come in at less than $8.50.

The ultimate package covers drinks up to $10.00. Strange, though, you can't get water!

Sorry to hijack - but if the UBP includes soda, and we have two adults one child in the room, both adults purchase the UBP - do we have to buy the soda package for DD?

 

ATTENTION!!!!!

 

As of yesterday the UBP has changed and is $54/day if you book ahead,(by phone or online), $59/day if you book onboard...

 

It now includes all beer, drinks and glasses of wine under $10....

 

I would contact NCL and ask since you are sailing in two days...
