Pat6116 Posted March 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I have a recent print out of the FAS Drink package and I don't see any mention of Processo. Is this no longer included. I know I can upgrade and get Vevue however for 16 days it's a bit of a jump. Thanks all Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpyNor Posted March 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Prosecco is considered as "wine by the glass" and priced below $15, so is absolutely offered/included in FAS "regular" drink package.

Rare Turtles06 Posted March 10, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2023 On the Gem in January and February, Prosecco was definitely included by the glass in the FAS package. However, many times when we ordered it, what was available instead was a marginally drinkable French sparking wine (not to be confused with champagne). It’s quite unfortunate that NCL has (outrageously) priced the very nice California sparkling wine Domaine Chandon at $20/glass. We found few wines by the glass available in the Premium Package, and overall felt that the value of the package has really diminished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, we were on the Epic in February and they were passing off the sparkling wine (DUC) they give complimentary in certain cabin types as Prosecco. Def not Prosecco. Sure hope this is a blip and not a switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may have been supply issues on the Gem. We were able to get Prosecco in some restaurants but not others. (The same with Half & Half, until the ship ran out completely.) In one restaurant, when we ordered Prosecco, the wine steward started pouring from a bottle that was definitely the cheap French sparkling wine. When we said that's not Prosecco, he said he knew that. To which I replied that if someone orders Prosecco, and you are going to pour something else, you should say so. He said he had, which was definitely not the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I love prosecco, "all types", but I really dislike the Duc sparkling wine NCL for years used to offer (and maybe still does?) as complimentary welcome for Latitude members. Last year we went back to cruising again for the first time after covid - and did two NCL cruises with the Gem and the Escape in July/August 2022. A nice surprise that on both occasions we received a proper prosecco and NOT the Duc on embarkation day. I honestly thought that NCL finally had gotten rid of their entire stock of Duc and now were offering actual prosecco instead. But maybe the explanation was just that both cruises started in an Italian port..... Well, we were satisfied as it definitely tasted MUCH better than the Duc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just some extra "non-official" benefit as we were only ones onboard with Diamond status? I didn't realize that the complimentary Latitudes sparkling wine was not offered anymore....

Rare Sailing12Away Posted March 12, 2023 #21 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Menu from the Joy as of 2 weeks ago when I got on board. Looks like I didn't snag a photo of the free bottle that was in the room. We always mix it with juice anyway so don't pay attention to what it is.

Zippeedee Posted March 12, 2023 #22 Share Posted March 12, 2023 They were pouring the Duc on my Getaway cruise in 2019. The bottles in the theater were turned with the label to the back. I started asking to see the bottle every time I ordered Prosecco after that undrinkable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also received a bottle of DUC for our Club Balcony perk. Thinking of hiding them around the ship 🐥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
