christiansmom42198 Posted March 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Do you need to show a picture ID to use your UBP/SDP or do they just put a sticker on your card? Also, is there identification on keycards to indicate a passenger is a minor - under drinking age? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xriva Posted March 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2016 There are stickers on your card. I believe if you are under drinking age, you will have a sticker for the soda program, since that's what you get. Also, it is on your record, so even without the sticker, if someone rings you up, it will show up there. We went an entire cruise on the UDP (RIP) and never had a sticker, but never got charged for the specialties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christiansmom42198 Posted March 25, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thank you for your answer. Another reason I was asking about being identified as a minor on your card is because my 21 year old son, who looks 16, is traveling with us. He does not have the UBP. Will he be able to order a drink without showing his license by just using his card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the first thing staff look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted March 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2016 They still use stickers to indicate UBP or Soda Package? Is that only if it's purchased on board? I thought these were all just printed directly on the key card (UBP or SODA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My UBP was printed on my card, but it was one of my free perks. --Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickers are used when you purchase the package on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have people's photos in the system, of course, but I don't think it's possible for bar staff to call up the photo on their screens. So it would not be a bad idea for your son to have his photo ID handy to dispel any doubt in case anyone thinks he looks underage (and I hope that everyone maintains a good attitude about this minor inconvenience).

TheManitoban Posted March 25, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ive read people on here mention that they had a young looking adult with them who was ID'ed when ordering alcohol. So it happens. Inconvenient for that person but for the best really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moobaby214 Posted March 25, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I do not know for NCL; but I know on RCL, X, and CCL that your picture pops up on the screen when the employee slides your card. That is true even in the gift shops for a chocolate bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khgator Posted March 26, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 26, 2016 So, I have the SDP as a free perk, but only for my husband and I. The perk didn't include our two kids in our cabin. I assume that I am not allowed to give my son my card for he and hubby to go to one of the specialty restaurants while DD and I dine in one of the standard restaurants? Is that correct?

Yes, it is correct. Packages are personal and you can't use them to pay for other people in your party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might 'get away with that' although it isn't allowed. What you won't be able to do, it's asked regularly on here is the 3 of you go together and use 2 of your credits and 1 of your husbands.
