Drinks not included in UBP

[cloud_nine]

Hi guys, so we're used to sailing with RCI and their drinks package includes pretty much everything, including bottled water, freshly squeezed juice and specialty coffees. I read that the UBP on NCL doesn't include bottled water so was just wondering if there was anything else it didn't include like the coffees or fresh squeezed juice. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That info is on their website.

any drink over $15. I was on Pearl recently and the menus had the drinks not included greyed out.  You would just need to pay the amount over $15 (plus 20%).

 

It was mostly just higher level drinks-foe example regular Jack Daniels was covered, Gentleman Jack was not.

Here we go again. This question seams to come up every few weeks. OP, you are right it does not cover fresh squeezed juice, specialty coffee or water.

I'm in the UK so I can't view the link you provided.

 

And thanks newmexicoNita for your rude reply. Not all of us spend all of our time on cruisecritic so I haven't seen "This question come up every few weeks" and I did a search but haven't found anything about it. But at least you actually answered my question so thanks for that.

From what I read, you can upgrade to the Premium Plus Beverage Package on the ship.  It supposedly costs $35pp per day.  This gives you pretty much unlimited drinks up to $35, including a bottle of wine at dinner, and includes Veuve if you drink Champage...also includes bottled water, specialty coffees and freshly squeezed juice.

You may have the 1 litre of water per passenger per day included in your ultimate all inclusive deal if you booked in the UK before they brought in the free at sea deals. We do.Check your cruise summary in my NCL.

It worked for me.

 

But If is doesn’t for you then just go to the NCL website, click on the “free at sea” bot towards the top of the page and then find the terms and conditions link near the bottom of the next page. The beverage package details are there.

 

As mentioned above, if you booked before things changed (probably about a month ago), you will also get a bottle of water per day each and you also get coffee with meals. If that is the case it will be listed on your reservation confirmation.

I wasn't responding to be rude. It was an overall comment. AS the topic pops up every few weeks or once a month and ends up with a huge debate on what and why the policy. That is all I meant. I certainly didn't mean to be rude to you.

It may just be problems with my mobile - I desperately need to upgrade my phone, but thanks I'll check that way. I booked in December or January I believe, so that would have been before the change. I seem to remember them mentioning bottled water. The coffee is no biggie if it's not included as we're not huge coffee drinkers but the fresh juice was my main query as we generally prefer that on RCI to the buffet juice, but if it's not included that's okay - so long as I know in advance.

Ahh I see. Misinterpretation on my part then - apologies, it seemed as though the "here we go again" was aimed at me being a nuisance for asking a question that had already been asked before.

Actually, it may have only worked for me because I’m in the States at the moment. My phone is still directing me to the U.K. site, but maybe it just let me only to US bit with a direct link.

 

Anyway, yes you will get the bottled water (it is all delivered to your room on the first day). I don’t know exactly what is covered by the juice bit. There was a discussion about it on here a while ago and nobody really seemed sure on that one. I think that is more because people haven’t asked for it than anything else, so hopefully it will be ok for you.

You should get, bottled water, fresh fruit juice and speciality coffee included. Any drink over $15 is not included.
