Mimosas on UBP??

[lockone]

My husband talked to someone who got off the Breakaway and said Mimosa's weren't allowed...true or not? Thanks!

[cflaquatics]

They were allowed on epic

[abbyar]

Well, they have prosecco and there is OJ at breakfast, so I'm sure you could make them.

They were included last month on the Spirit, and they only cost $5.25 or $6.25 so I cannot imagine why they wouldn't be included now. Maybe the man in question was trying to get fresh squeezed juice, which is not normally included.

They had better be!!!

Of course they are!!!!

Somewhat related question so I hope it's ok. Does anyone know if and how NCL makes bellinis?

[LrgPizza]

Of course they are. I enjoyed several. As long as they are under $11, which they are, they are included. There are no specific alcoholic drinks that are excluded from the package by type. The only things excluded are things over $11 (used to be $10).

The WRoNG way with peach liqueur. But, I asked and they actually had peach purée so once I knew that, I had them that way!

Good to know! Hope they have peach purée on the Breakaway.

They will. Also, drinks above $11 are not excluded, u just have to pay the difference

Can you find this somewhere in the terms and conditions for the package? I have seen this comment a few times, but others state it cannot be done.

 

It sounds like a few people have a well tipped bartender who is doing them a favor by doing this off the record. I don't know that everyone can count on this.

Unless that is something brand new that has changed, this is wrong. It has always been that if a drink is over the allowed amount, then you pay the full price of the drink.

I think it is something brand new that has changed. The way cflaquatics described it in another thread, the bartender can now apply an $11 credit when ringing up the drink. It does not sound like some special, off-the-record treatment reserved for big tippers.

 

It would be useful if NCL posted an FAQ about the UBP to their website, as they have done for the UDP.

They have a button on the pos terminal that deducts $11 marked as a ubp credit. So they enter the drink that's over $11 and then add that it u only pay the difference. I had one guy that didn't know how to do it and a supervisor/manager had to show him. We were buying jw blue label

[cflaquatics]

Only had to pay like $7.60 after that, which is a steal due to that normally being $40 stateside

Pretty much ALL of the frequently asked questions (al least here on CC) about UBP are already covered in the terms, so a separate FAQ really wouldn't be needed, except for times when something like this comes up. Generally there are about 4 or 5 questions that are asked over and over again, even though the answers are right there plain as day in the terms. It's like people don't trust it. lol

That's super! Although I never found anything over the limit on my UBP cruises, I also wasn't looking at the time. Glad to know that has changed.

Only ones I was told about were jw blue label, a couple of the wines by the glass, like 2, and I think at least one high end cognac
