olesiabr Posted February 24, 2016 #26 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Uh,oh...I was afraid of this happening with the "free" UBP. Can anyone else confirm that there has been a significant downgrade in the wines by the glass availability?

mypleasure Posted February 24, 2016 #27 Share Posted February 24, 2016 My favourite wine is the Matua Sauvignon Blanc which is on your list, but others have just said it is no longer on the list. Are you sure your list is up to date?Thanks:) I was on N.Dawn 4 weeks ago and just asked for Matua without looking at the list as I knew I liked it from previous cruises. I was told not available by the glass only a whole bottle for $$ I was very disappointed. I didn't like the North and South that the bar tender forced on me and on later occasions got the Meridian which is drinkable to me. I am not a wine connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination but I do know what tastes OK to me and what does not. I accept that the tastes of others are not necessarily what I like.

vinotinto Posted February 24, 2016 Author #28 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I appreciate the responses! The wine list by the glass from Feb 2015 seems pretty good. Beside the Mantua are there any other choices that have been removed? We are partial to reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone else confirm that there has been a significant downgrade in the wines by the glass availability? Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk I thought the list in Gatsby's on N. Dawn was very cut down for wines by the glass. About 6 each of Red, White and a couple of sparkling. It all fit on the one page for certain. I was struggling to see if there was something I would probably like. It was my first time with a UBP, we are not huge drinkers at all and probably have 2-3 per day if we are paying and probably increased to 4-5 on sea days on this cruise due to having a couple of frozen drinks in the afternoon because I had UBP. I think in future if it is not coming with no additional charges at all we will go back to pay as you go. We spent $300 for a couple on a 14 night cruise in June 2015 so not worth paying anything for a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olemissreb Posted February 24, 2016 #31 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I, too, would like to see an updated wine list if anyone has it. Also, can someone tell me if UBP has to be for everyone in the cabin? I'm looking at summer 2017 or more probably 2018 on Pride of America. I'll be sailing with my 2 boys who will be 21 & 17 in 2017. The oldest one would probably love it, but the youngest might not get as much mileage out of it (although he does love his virgin daiquiris. :)). Thanks for the help!

The rule for POA is that no one in the cabin can have the UBP. :D Hawaii state law prohibits any deals offering unlimited alcohol for a fixed price (or as a promotion).

I would call NCL directly to inquire about Pride of America and the UBP... according to the UBP FAQ, the PoA does not offer it. https://www.ncl.com/terms/ultimate-beverage-package If it is, typically everyone in the stateroom over 21 must also purchase the UBP (there is a Young Adult Waiver Form for passengers over 18 to consume beer or wine but I do not know if they have to buy the UBP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However NO ONE under 21 is permitted to have the UBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolosmom Posted February 24, 2016 #35 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Matua???? Do you mean Mateus?? The stuff you can buy in any 7-11? Not any 7-11 as they don't sell wine in ours here in PA, thanks to archaic liquor laws!!!! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that totally stinks! Oh well, guess I'll just have to watch how much we drink on board. Thanks for the info. (Wonder if we can get the law changed in the next year or so?

hawkeyetlse Posted February 27, 2016 #38 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Nice, they are down to 10 whites (plus the prosecco and the ice wine) and 7 reds. The previous menu had 19 whites and 20 reds by the glass! :mad: Boo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suze10860 Posted February 27, 2016 #42 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Check out #102 on wine list. Thank you! Needless to say, I don't know much about wine at all. Other than the fact that there are only a few types that I like. I was looking for the word "prosecco" more as the type of wine, and didn't realize it would be after the word "Brut." Thanks for confirming that it is there. Hope it's one that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinotinto Posted February 27, 2016 Author #43 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks for posting the updated list. I'm now reconsidereding the UBP. With only one cab by the glass, I don't see how we would not venture into "by the bottle" territory. We're on a port intensive 12 night cruise, so not sure if I'll drink the $150 tip charge with this wine by the glass list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lobbylin Posted February 27, 2016 #44 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks for sharing the new wine list. It's really disappointing....:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSNA5861 Posted February 27, 2016 #45 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It is really disappointing to see that Matua is no longer available by the glass as it is our favorite wine. Also noticed that there is quite a price increase for the bottle compared to what we paid last year. I guess that NCL found another niche to make more money from the wine lovers. We will have to make due with what is available by the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
