RedwingHockeyFan Posted October 17, 2023 #27 Share Posted October 17, 2023 You can still use the drink package for soda and other virgin drinks that you would normally have to pay for without a drink package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZ77 Posted October 17, 2023 #28 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Not sure if it worth it- but if you cancel the Beverage Package and the Specialty Dining, you can receive a $100 on board credit and 10 8x10 prints from the regular photo store.

Where did you see this? I don't take the drink package. I do take the dining since the gratuities for one meal package is so cheap. But I'll start cancelling the dining too if I will get $100 OBC. Never heard of this, and I'm not sure why NCL would offer it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? I never take the beverage package or specialty dining and never get any OBC. Perhaps something offered by your TA? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of this, and I'm not sure why NCL would offer it We were on the Joy in August to Bermuda. We had 4 balcony rooms (and 3 inside cabins)- and for one of the balcony rooms we were able to not book the drink package (1 adult and 1 child) or the specialty dining (2 meals each for 2 people) and instead received the $100 on board credit and the 10 8x10 photos. We booked through NCL- and we did the above change through their representatives. I called multiple times and not all the representatives were aware of it. After I heard about it from NCL, sometimes on a different call, I had to inform other representatives about this offer and they were able to look it up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to book a cruise before the end of the month. I'm going to ask about this. Would you happen to have the booking code from your confirmation?

It seems that you had a GROUP BOOKING. If that was the case, the flexibility (options) would definitely be different than those booking fewer than 5+ staterooms (a group)! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem that being part of a group played a part in being able to make the above change, but perhaps it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group bookings can end-up looking similar, yet different, from NCL's regular Free at Sea. The OBC choice isn't typical (currently/recently) with the general NCL Free At Sea bookings. The number of rooms pretty much indicated that you were booked in a Group. Edited October 18, 2023 by ggTexasGal added info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolutely true. There are many ways to use this perk without getting alcohol. However, anyone considering this, should do a cost analysis. The $22/day tips are probably more than you are going to spend to just get a soda package and purchase a one-off virgin drink here and there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
