GINNY L Posted May 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I am planning my mother's memorial at sea for my entire family on the Bliss to Alaska. I have a niece who has a 17yr who will be the second person in her cabin. She was told he can not get any virgin drinks just sodas. Does anybody know this is true?

cb at sea Posted May 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2018 She can get virgin drinks...but she can't get a drink package that includes alcohol, as she's a minor. If she wants a "virgin drink", she can get whatever is covered on the soda package, or pay for a virgin drink if it's not covered by the package.

The drink package will be for the 1st and 2nd person and my niece's 17 yr old son will be the second person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing the soda package provides is fountain soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted May 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Whilst the soda package doesn’t include these sort of drinks, my experience is that you can usually get them for no charge anyway. Bar staff are often making our son various drinks and refuse to charge for them. He doesn’t have usually have any package at all (although we do). I’ve given up even trying to get them to charge for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted May 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 19, 2018 No. The only package for a minor is the soda package which does not include virgin drinks. You need to pay cash for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Wheels Only Posted May 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Can I get the virgin drinks with the drink package? UBP can order virgin drinks, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclops32 Posted May 19, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I too had no issues with getting the virgin drinks for my kids who had the soda package. Technically they should have been charged but no place ever did. Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't-use-real-name Posted May 20, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Surely the bar tenders can make a "Shirley Temple" or a "Roy Rogers" kiddie cocktail put a straw in the drink and call it Pepsi something "else". With a sufficient tip and inspiration bar tenders can offer tender care to the kinder - adding a cherry with cute umbrelly stick to a fissy drink or if on the DAWN and at the pool bar with the ice cream place the next counter over drop a dollop of vanilla ice cream in a root beer. I know a fat tip provides the doubled drink of my request without question - of course having the UBP being Platinum and in a suite doesn't hurt. A generous tip gets results and no where does the issue of alcohol and minors come into play unless you are on a NCL cruise somewhere south of France in the Mediterranean.
