UBP and its 20% Service Charge ?

[Sailor1959]

Ahoy There NCL Cruisers :D

 

If I purchase the Ultimate-Beverage-Package:

Will I be immediately charged another 20% or will I be charge 20% per drink ?

 

Thanks !

20% of total package value..,bout 18 bucks a day per person getting the package...you pay when you pay for the cruise...

[mjkacmom]

20% of the cost of the package.

So I won't hesitate ordering booze whenever I'm in the mood. :p

Are you actually going to buy the UBP or do you mean just selecting it as a promo? Just want to make sure you are aware that most of us are able to get the UBP free as a promo. The same 20% service charge still usually applies however.

Hi Moby !

 

I've seen promotions for the "free" UBP too.

My main concern was when might the Service-Charge be billed.

It's already been answered but if it was charged per drink... I could have control over how much I'd be charged.

 

That said... I do appreciate your input.

I see. As you mentioned it has already been answered. But here is some additional al information. And as you found out it is charged on the package price of $89/day. So for a 7 day cruise, the service charge is $124.60 and is paid at time of final payment or at time of package purchase. If you however decide not to take the package as a promo and also decide not to purchase the package, then you will just be charged for whatever drinks you order onboard and at that time you will be charge 20% of each drink you purchase. Hope that helps.

$17.80/day so be sure to drink at least two to three alcoholic drinks a day or some soda's/etc. to get your monies worth. We found it very easy to get out monies worth on the last cruise. A drink or two by the pool during the day. A glass of wine at dinner. Another drink or two for the nightly show. Maybe one at Howl at the Moon. Definitely was worth the $17.80/day.

You pay when you book the cruise and take the package. It will show up on your invoice.

[Beer Belly]

Also, you pay the difference if a drink is over $15.....

A HUGE Thank You for all who responded to my inquiry !

 

One other question begs asking:

On NCL "Sky" there's "Free Open Bar" that's automatically included in the price of the cruise.

 

How is the Service-Charge (20%?) handled ???

It works differently on those ships. Since the open bar is included for everyone, the DSC is higher on those cruises (ithink around $22-23 per person per day) vs $14.50

If you BUY the package, as the poster stated, then you pay at the time you buy the package.

 

If you select a promo, you pay at the time you pay for your cruise.

Thanks Two Wheels & Karl Childers !

For moi, a semi tea-totaler ... it's something to consider when pondering to cruise that ship.

 

Thanks to all who replied !!!
