Non Alcoholic drinks under $200

[Cruising1122]

I don't drink and many of NCL packages are offering lots of free items and OPEN bar is one them. But as most fellow cruisers here will know free Open bar is NOT exactly free as there are Open Bar Gratuities which are close to $200.

 

Q1: What non alcholic beverages (like coffee, tea or juice)  are included in free dining (without any open bar package)? or What is NOT included like latte or freshly squeezed  orange juice?

 

Q2. What extra non alcholic beverages come with  Open bar package which you don't get in your fare and complimentary dining?

 

Just because it is free and unlimited, one should be drinking more than 1 o 2 glasses of juices per day as I don't want to gain 10 lbs from free non alcoholic beverages alone.

 

I am trying to decide if I should get this open bar for non- alcoholic beverages or just spend $200 saved from gratuities as la carte what I like?

Q1: Coffee (but not Starbucks or specialty coffees), tea, iced tea, lemonade, some juices at breakfast (not freshly squeezed), and ice water (but not bottled water).

 

Q2: Soda, non-alcoholic beer, virgin cocktails.

Gratuities of $200  look to me to be for 2 people for a 7 or 10 day cruise.   In that case you will each need to drink 2-3 alcoholic drinks a day every day to cut even.

 

If it is for 1 person I assume a longer cruise but the drink requirement is the same.
