Ejane Posted June 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Does anyone know if I upgrade to the premium plus beverage package on NCL, do they give cans of soda or is it just glasses of soda? I'd prefer to have a can in the fridge cold and unopened, than having to go down to the bar to order a glass of soda but not sure what they have.

UKstages Posted June 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2023 the most popular sodas (coke, diet coke) are on tap. cans exist for some flavors, including those, depending on the venue. whether or not they pour it out in a glass or give you a can is largely at the bartender's discretion. they're not supposed to give you a can, but they often will if you ask. having a regular go-to bartender, having the premium plus package and tipping are all factors that can influence getting a can. in most cases, if you ask for the can, you can get it... but it's not part of any package and it's not guaranteed.

gatorchinsky Posted June 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Which ship are you on? On our Getaway cruise last October we had the Premium Plus package. I was able to get 2 cans of unopened soda to bring back to cabin at the bar outside Garden Cafe. Did it everyday and was never told no. Not sure if this happens on every ship but it worked for us.

Ejane Posted June 18, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Thanks everyone. That's great to know gatorchinsky, thanks so much for that. Yes, I'm on the Getaway too and I've upgraded to the premium plus package, so I'll ask for them at the bar outside the garden cafe. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookie848 Posted June 18, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2023 We got cans of soda on the Epic and we had the regular beverage package. We never asked for them unopened, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crow99 Posted June 19, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I've sailed three times with P+, you can always get cans of soda - its one of the benefits that makes me upgrade, I've also frequently had them unopened - although have regular bars where I thank them with tips for the service 🙂 Some bars have to get them, if it's a regular bar - they will get them and chill for you.

UKstages Posted June 19, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2023 so, again, it’s not actually a “benefit” of the premium + package. in fact, the actual wording NCL uses in their promotional blurbs for this package is “all beverages by the glass.” in practice, most bartenders will give you a can, provided it’s a beverage that’s available in a can, such as sprite zero. but they’d likely do that if you had the regular premium drink package, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted June 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Didn't have pp but in the upscale haven experience on Prima ordered coke zero for breakfast. Asked if can or tap. Thought odd question and said can. Told that costs extra. Classy, not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
