NCLfamily Posted October 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Are not included in the UBP according to the terms. However on looking at photos of the new Escape menus, there are 4 levels for spirits. CALL, PREMIUM, SUPER PREMIUM AND ULTRA PREMIUM Now take Glenfiddich for instance. Listed in the super premium section and priced at $9.95. So according to the terms I cannot get this on the UBP. But the UBP keeps referring to a $15 ceiling on drinks. Are the terms outdated and need reworded to say that Ultra Premium is not included? Thanks Edited October 27, 2015 by NCLfamily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered Don Julio 1942 several times, and that definitely qualifies as an ultra-premium. I did see one guy order one of the Johnny Walkers (I forget the color) and he was told it would be about $3 additional, so they were charging just the overage if you ordered something over $15.

monl765 Posted October 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I was on the Getaway in September, and drank Glenfiddich and soda. It was covered with the UBP, and there are very few drinks not covered by the UBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweeterbug Posted October 28, 2015 #12 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm a little disappointed in the whiskey selection:-( Hubby and I are huge fans of Islay whiskeys and I haven't seen any listed! Oh well we are off to Scotland for Christmas and Hogmanay so we will have to wait until then!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the info. We're on the Dawn in a little over a month and I was curious about this. Good choice in tequila btw. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casofilia Posted October 28, 2015 #21 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I wonder if they have Crown Royal - Canadian Rye. Personally, being a Single Malt Scotch drinker, I wouldn't touch the stuff. :D However the Duty Free shop on board has lots of offers (and a tasting) on CR throughout the cruise so I assume that NCL has an arrangement with the owners of CR. I would also assume that they offer it in the bars. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
