SoloCruisin13 Posted June 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi All. I have a question, we just booked a cruise through Casino at Seas, we paid the taxes and fees and also picked the beverage package as our perk. We were charged the tax/gratuity for that as well. My question though is that when I go on-line, I am still seeing the option to purchase the Premium Beverage package for over $800pp. My confirmation lists "Adult Beverage Package"/ I don't ever remember seeing the beverage package for sale in the past if we had already chose it as a perk... am I missing something? Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreams42Day Posted June 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Following, as mine is showing the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangal711 Posted June 7, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Both of mine also give you the option of purchasing the UBP. My last one we just went on had it too. Go to your NCL click on your summary, then scroll down. You will see your perks listed there. Mine is showing the Adult Beverage Package - Promo for two guests. Maybe if you have more than two in the cabin you would want to purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smplybcause Posted June 7, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 7, 2019 It does that on every NCL cruise I've booked (3 sailed, 2 currently booked) and for every one I've selected the drink package. I just assume it's an NCL IT quirk where they didn't bother to put in a rule not sending it to those who selected the perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejnsb Posted June 7, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I think you are being given the option to upgrade to the topbeverage package. The package you chose when signing up includes any drinks up to $15 which works for most. The premium package includes more expensive drinks like single malt scotch, veuve cliquot champagne, specialty coffees, bottled waters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloCruisin13 Posted June 7, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thanks all! I feel better, maybe the option had been there to purchase in the past, and I just never noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown84 Posted June 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I don't know if you just booked by calling CAS (based on previous play on a ship), or if you're using a land based casino certificate. If you're using a land based certificate, I just wanted you to know that you get a drink card which allows you to get free drinks at the casino bar (no gratuities to pay on it). It's only house liquor plus beer and wine, and you're limited to the casino bar. I have no problems with this as opposed to paying the gratuities on the free drink package. Just wanted to point that out to you in case it makes you think again about which perk to choose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombec1 Posted June 7, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Just to add - with the Casino Drink Card, you can get bottles of Gatorade, bottles of water, and energy drinks at the Casino bar too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino Comp Chick Posted June 7, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 7, 2019 It always shows, just like the dining packages show even if you have it as a promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown84 Posted June 7, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 7, 2019 yes, the bottled water was great. Every time I got a drink, I'd get a bottle of water and kept my room fridge stocked with them. You can't even get those with the regular ship drink package. I didn't know they had gatorade, though. I'll be sure to ask for those on my next cruise. Hopefully, they'll have gatorade zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted June 7, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Yes, we no longer accept the 'free promo' drink package as we just didn't drink enough to justify that 20% fee. The bartenders in the casino bar are usually great. We make sure to tip them as we haven't paid a convenience fee for the CAS drinks and they take good care of us. We get a couple of free drinks in the casino and stock up our mini-fridge with those bottled waters too😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
