klarson1027 Posted October 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2018 We have a group of people going and we get to pick 2 amenities. We are for sure getting the drink package for one of them but not sure on the other. We are debating on the Prepaid Service Charges or the Dining Package. This will be our first time on NCL. We are going on the Bliss in February 2019. On our other cruises we just went to the main dining room and were happy with it but that was with another cruise line. We are 120 days now and we are excited to try this cruise line. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted October 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2018 We are debating on the Prepaid Service Charges or the Dining Package. Determine the value of each of these then choose the better value ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsgu Posted October 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The prepaid service charges are probably more valuable than the dining package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymbomb Posted October 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Prepaid service charges. If people want to eat at specialty restaurants they can use the money saved on service charges to pay for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelockelectric Posted October 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I agree with others about the prepaid service charges. Especially since that generally covers the gratuities on the drink package also, which can add up quite quickly.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums The DSC does not cover the gratuities on the drink package. But I also think the DSC is the perk to pick. It is a better value.

Might want to check with the TA. Whenever I get the NCL prepaid gratuities perk as a group booking, it extends to cover the gratuities on the UBP as well. That might just be my TA, but it's worth looking in to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beverage package is included with the gratuities. The prepaid gratuities are for the rest of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can fully assure you that this is your TA eating the UBP gratuities. As we all know, the DSC has nothing at all to do with gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
