jmcookiemonster25 Posted July 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2016 For the free at sea offers NCL has, one of the options is unlimited beverages. If two people, one 22 years old and one 20 years old, go on a cruise, and the 22 year old picks the unlimited beverage package, does the 20 year old also have to pick that package? Their parent will not be on board so no alcohol buying for them, so they'd get downgraded to the soda package. But they don't want the soda package. Could they pick another offer instead? Or do both people have to pick the same offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do both people have to pick the same offer? If they're in the same cabin, they need to agree on what free at sea offers they're choosing. Both the beverage package and the specialty dining package are for the first 2 guests in the cabin, so if they choose the beverage package and they're the 2 in the cabin, the 22 year old will get UBP, the 20 year old will get soda. There's no picking and choosing, unless each booking their own cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the soda (or UBP) include juice? Like cranberry or orange? I can get it in the morning for free at the buffet, but after that you have to pay for it.

The virgin frozen drinks on board are pretty expensive so this would save a lot of money if you received these on a universal drink package even if you weren't allowed to drink alcohol.

I hope that would be the case, but I would check first before making a decision. Or maybe just wait until he turns 21 to make my life easier.

Problem is that 20 year-olds aren't eligible for the Unlimited Beverage Package even with parents permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcookiemonster25 Posted July 19, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Problem is that 20 year-olds aren't eligible for the Unlimited Beverage Package even with parents permission. Right, I knew he wouldn't be able to get the alcoholic beverage package. But now that someone mentioned the virgin package (so like virgin frozen drinks, etc), as a step up from the soda/juice package, I'm wondering if that's possible.

Someone with UBP can get those things, but with soda package it's just soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
