Cava?

[FLAHAM]

I am cruising to Alaska (round trip Seattle) on Bliss next week.  Any Cava on NCL drink menus?

FLAHAM, Do you mean Kava ? Like Kava instant coffee ? I haven't seen that around in years

On my last Escape cruise (2018) I drank enough Cava to nearly float away. I cannot confirm current state on any ships, though.

Or Cava as in sparkling wine?  Closest to Cava on the Premium Plan is the Dry Prosecco.  I actually like it, though I’m sure others will disagree.  I typically drink Chardonnay, but the Chardonnay choices on the Premium Plan are awful.  We upgraded to Premium Plus for our cruise in October…mainly for expanded wine options.

I’ll be looking for the guy (gal?) from Happy Valley.

Consider bringing your favorite Cava onboard. For the $15 "corkage" fee you can have the wine of your choice. Decent wine still costs less than the ridiculous prices for mediocure wines NCL serves, and significantly less than their premium wines. I usually look up wineries and retailers in embarkation ports   and buy a few bottles to bring aboard.

According to some recent posts, if you have the FAS drink package, the corkage fee is now waived.

Can confirm the waiving of corkage fee.  On embarkation today, the attendant who was overseeing the corkage table said if you have the drink package then no corkage fee.

I usually decline the drink package since all i drink is wine at dinner - the free package costs a couple hundred in taxes and service charges, and i usually pay 30-45 for corkage fees.
