Stupid question, but I havent seen it answered/discussed here. We were given the UBP as a perk of a land casino -- never would have bought it because it we do not drink that much. I drink pretty much only wine, and on breakaway I loved those randomly placed wine dispensers where I could just go refill my wine glass without going to the bar. If you have the UBP, can you use the wine dispensers?

IF YOU HAVE THE UBP, DO NOT USE THE WINE STATIONS!!!

 

You will be charged. I'm in the process of disputing charges due to this,and my opinion of ncl is souring by the second. It's gotten to the point where I'm ready to call my cc company and dispute charges w them.

 

Be forewarned. No matter what anyone may tell you... The machines are not part of the ubp.

You are correct, it is not included. First post had the policy.

I'm not disputing what you are saying, just saying that it appears to be one of those inconsistent things. We were NOT charged when I used the machines on our 5/31 cruise on the Getaway with my UBP. I have no clue if we were supposed to be or not (I hadn't checked the terms before we sailed), but for some reason we were not charged. I'm sorry the same wasn't the case for you, and we definitely won't use them again, just in case.

New to NCL. What is the self-serve wine dispenser? I will not have the beverage package. Is it something that you swipe your card to be charged and then serve yourself the wine? I have never heard of this. is it available on the Sun? Thanks in advance...

Yes, you swipe your card and serve yourself. I'm pretty sure the self-service wine dispensers are only on the Breakaway and Getaway. Here's what they look like:

Thanks for the pic.

Does the dispenser charge a 15% gratuity for performing a service?:rolleyes:

Not being charged does not mean they were allowing it. It means they system did not charge you.

 

Similar to people that were able to download cash in casino and not pay the 3%, but now it does.

 

Systems issues.

No, the system charged me. Then the charge was reversed due to UBP. It appeared the same as all our other drink charges. Then like the other drink charges it was cancelled out. It appears from more recent cruisers though that doesn't happen any longer.

Here's the official answer according to my PCC's Facebook page. Just posted moments ago.

 

Norwegian has all the wine lovers covered with wine stations!

 

For those of you interested in our All-Inclusive deal, our wine stations are included in the Ultimate Beverage Package!
