Gotts123 Posted June 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2017 What virgin drinks are delicious (on behalf of my 20 year old son who just misses the 21 year old mark)? The thought of multiple daily sodas does not appeal. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haverley Posted June 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Depending on the Cruise and destination you can sign a wiever for 18 -21. We have for our daughters on all med cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotts123 Posted June 18, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Thank you all. We have had the waiver in the past. This time he does have the UBP as a free-at-sea perk.... and too many sodas are not so appealing. I thought virgin drinks would be a nice option so keep em coming if you have any other ideas!

If he's under 21, he has the soda package, frozen virgin drinks aren't included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotts123 Posted June 18, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Oh no! The NCL spokesperson said that virgin drinks/ice tea were included when I called. Perhaps I misunderstood. I guess I will call back to verify. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted June 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 18, 2017 If he's under 21, he has the soda package, frozen virgin drinks aren't included. Correct. Terms and Conditions of the UBP promo state: "Applicable to guests 1-2 on the reservation. Guest must be at least 21 years of age at time of sailing to qualify for the Ultimate Beverage Package. Guests under 21 will receive the soda package." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted June 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Oh no! The NCL spokesperson said that virgin drinks/ice tea were included when I called. Perhaps I misunderstood. I guess I will call back to verify. :( A lot of the PCC's are consistently wrong. A frozen virgin drink is about $5 per day, plus gratuity. The soda package is $7.50 a day, plus gratuity. Who wouldn't buy the soda package if it included frozen virgin drinks. Unfortunately there isn't a package that includes them. My 19 and 20 years olds just drank a lot of Shirley temples and Roy Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy321 Posted June 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 18, 2017 They should just make it included in the soda package. That's stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaShark Posted June 18, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 18, 2017 What is "best" or "most delicious" can vary wildly as different people have vastly different tastes. How can person A know what person B will or will not like? However...going back to the thread topic . . . based on the way people on this forum obsess over it, I'd have to say that the best virgin drink on a ship would simply have to be Bottled Water. :rolleyes:;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotaford Posted June 19, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm a huge fan of virgin pina coladas. And agree with above post that virgin mudslides are good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of multiple daily sodas does not appeal. TIA The correct answer is being nice to the bartender and forget about the "virgin" part.

ballarinamom Posted June 20, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 20, 2017 My dd has done things like 1/2pineapple 1/2 cranberry with a splash of sprite on other cruise lines. Does ncl include juice in their soda package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted June 20, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 20, 2017 My dd has done things like 1/2pineapple 1/2 cranberry with a splash of sprite on other cruise lines. Does ncl include juice in their soda package? No, but she can ask.... Includes: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Mt. Dew, Ginger Ale, Tonic water, Club Soda. She can always ask for a Shirley Temple though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclops32 Posted June 20, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 20, 2017 No, but she can ask.... Includes: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Mt. Dew, Ginger Ale, Tonic water, Club Soda. She can always ask for a Shirley Temple though I just go back a few weeks ago. Our kids had the soda package but still got free frozen virgin drinks. I believe that is due to a loophole. My wife and I had the drink package but also ordered virgin drinks. Since they don't have issue giving each person two drinks at a time the waiters may have used that. We did it at Several restaurants and never got charged. Same at the Haven bar. Wife ordered two virgin drinks when it was just her and one of our sons at the bar. We never asked about it just placed the order and they were delivered no questions asked If your kids try by themself then there might be a charge.

If I ordered virgin frozen drinks for my kids, I wasn't charged (UBP), but when they ordered them without us, they were charged(soda package).

Gotts123 Posted June 20, 2017 Author #19 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well. Ultimately we switched him to the Specialty Dinner Package. Too much soda does not sit well with him. Plus the waiver would allow him a beer or glass of wine at dinner in our presence and my 23 year old does not drink enough to warrant the drink package.

RobinSie Posted June 20, 2017 #22 Share Posted June 20, 2017 As far as virgin frozen drinks go, I had the mango madness, strawberry daiquiri, pina colada and miami vice. Didn't realize the mudslide was available virgin. Next time.... Sent from my SM-N910P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
