Non Alcoholic wine?

[twoznuff2]

Does anyone know if the Non alcoholic wine is a sparkling cider like Martinellis? Does NCL even have sparkling cider or should I just bring a bottle on?

You may not bring any beverage onboard. Except for wine, where you pay a $15 corkage fee for 750ml bottles.

In my experience, no - it is truly non-alcoholic wine.  I tried both the red and white offerings....once.

Thank you. I had a blonde moment and was only thinking of how I would switch to Sparkling cider for the kids at new years. Didn't even think about the no drink on board rule.

I thought I read of people who brought soda and bottled water on their cruise?

Effective for sailings July 15, 2016 and beyond, guests are prohibited from bringing any beverages -- including liquor, beer and non-alcoholic drinks such as water, soda and juices -- on board either as carry-on or checked luggage, with the exception of purified or distilled water in factory-sealed containers for use in conjunction with medical devices or for the reconstitution of infant formula; and fully sealed and/or corked wine bottles for personal consumption onboard that is subject to screening and a corkage fee (for guests 21 years of age or older). Open beverages of any kind must be consumed or discarded at the security check-point, on embarkation day and at any port of call. This revised policy brings the company in line with other best practice travel security protocols and reduces the need for individual time consuming screening and package inspection of large volumes of beverages.

Bummer.

Since I don't drink due to allergies, I did ask about a substitute for the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine that you get for being a lattitudes member and they told me that you could exchange it for a non-alcoholic version.  But I don't have any information about what you would actually be getting.

You were thinking about Royal Caribbean.
