Upcoming Epic Voyage

[Bryton-1]

Celebrating a promotion at work and upgraded to FAS+. Anyone recently been on Epic and willing to give feedback? 
 

1) Epic offers a full Starbucks menu including refreshers, yes? This is included in FAS+? 
 

2) Love to have champagne with desert at dinner, looks like my best option is the French speciality dining? Haven’t done it before and they offer some actual champagne In comparison to Prosecco

 

3) What does the vodka selection look like? I’ve read different PDFs provided by NCL.

 

4) Missed the martini bar on the Eacape recently. Looks like Epic offers a martini bar?

5) Watching some reviews of the ice bar, someone advised that those with a drink package get 4 free drink coupons for the ice bar? I know FAS+ doesn’t work inside the ice bar… so is this a separate package?

 

Thanks!

Was on Epic in November

 

1) I had FAS+. Starbucks was included. Not sure what “refreshers” are, but I had white chocolate mochas, regular coffee, and cold brew.

 

2) I would think Shaker’s Martini and Champagne Bar would have the same (or better) selection.

 

3) I think my wife mostly drank Tito’s.  
 

4) yes, see #2. It’s a nice little piano bar overlooking the casino. Next to the whiskey bar.

 

5) no idea on that one, sorry.

Just my opinion—Ice bar is a waste of time.  Few drinks available—none good.

1) Example menu. May differ.

 

2) This is the standard champagne. May not be available in all locations. Please don't ask about comparing Prosecco to real champaign.  

 

Le Bistro is the only place on the ship that serves Veuve

 

 

3)

 

4) Shakers Martini Bar

 

5)

The Gem last month served Veuve Cliquot in Le Bistro and Cagney’s.

FAS+ doesn’t work for freshly squeezed juice anymore? I thought P+ allows it?

Excellent to hear!

To piggyback off this thread:

 

Is there a limit to the number of Starbucks drinks I can get per day? If not, is there a certain amount of time I need to wait before getting a subsequent drink?

 

My kids will only have a soda package, as they are not even close to drinking age, but can I get a coffee for myself and then later get something one of them might want, like a refresher? I wouldn't be obvious about it, i.e., buy it and immediately hand it off.

 

We'll also be on the Epic, if it matters.

 

Thank you!

I attached a screenshot from this link to a NCL pdf about the P+: https://www.ncl.com/sites/default/files/Premium_Plus_Bar_Package_111522.pdf

 

Also, what cruise on the Epic will you be on? We'll be on the 3/31.

 

Edited to clarify that fresh juices look to be included. I'm guessing refreshers would be available at Starbucks, but I'd definitely ask before ordering.

You are going to get blasted for even asking. Yes you can do it, but should you?

We drank plenty of Starbucks on the Epic in November with our package, and I am pretty sure the people could not possibly care less if I got one coffee or a thousand.
