Bronze Member- Wine in Statroom (Teetotaler)

[Relax Cruiser]

For those of you who are teetotalers and are latitude members do NCL supplement the welcome aboard alcoholic bottle in your stateroom to something non alcoholic if you don’t drink at all?

 

How do you go about doing this?

[nwcruiselover]

I’m also a teetotaler, and I have never been able to switch the complimentary wine to something without alcohol.  I just find someone to give the wine to.

We gave our bottle to our steward

Snap, us too.

I did not find it that bad either, others have said it is terrible.

I don't think is bad at all, is not Dom Perignon but is still decent. In fact, i believe they changed the brand. I prefer prosecco but hey i earned it as a Platinum plus member :-)

Maybe you get better quality than us lesser metal levels? I gave mine to the young newlyweds in the cabin next door last year. I don't have high hopes for any sparkling wine onboard this year.

I also give mine away to the first person who will take it.

I know on NCL's website they list "The Captains choice - Non Alcoholic Wine" maybe check ahead with someone like the Access Desk, or your TA??  Once on board, probably donate to a grateful traveler, even take it to your M&G as a door prize if you are attending one?

Who can’t keep it, so it will go back in the room for the next guest.

It's been the same bubbling wine for the last 3 or 4 years - it's not bad when chilled & mixed in with OJ.  If you take it to the dining room, the server will even exchange a cold one for your unopened one & bring glasses.

 

We had at least 5 or 6 bottles donated as door prizes at one of the CC Meet & Mingle last year.  Only first-time NCL cruisers took it, LOL - leaving it in the stateroom unopened or giving it to the RS is just recycling it free for NCL.

Our last bottle was around so long it had dust on it Lol

Our TA had ours switched out to sparkling cider

I took mine to our slot pull and gave it to the person who had the best first round pull total.

That is what most would do I am sure. it is cheap wine anyway; We are not teatotalers but we do not drink sparkling wine. We usually take it to the M&G so people can have mimosas if they want.

I have been on several cruises where I just took the wine or champagne to a bar (any bar) and they swapped me for a few cans of Pepsi

[realnurse2]

I've tried swapping it and no one wants it either!

[pspercy]

We drank ours when packing on the last day.

 

Kinda fit the mood - actually it wasn't bad at all🥂
