Bryton-1 Posted March 10 #1 Share Posted March 10 (edited) 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! Edited March 10 by Bryton-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distinctive-Destinations Posted March 10 #2 Share Posted March 10 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted March 10 #3 Share Posted March 10 Just my opinion—Ice bar is a waste of time. Few drinks available—none good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Does not include Wine and Spirit Experiences, tastings or flights, Starbucks, Ice Bars, room service, package sales, bottled water, ship specific promotions, Connoisseur Collection beverages, bottled wine, mini bar purchases, fresh squeezed juices, wine dispenser, energy drinks or vending machines.

FAS+ doesn’t work for freshly squeezed juice anymore? I thought P+ allows it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbxlady Posted March 14 #8 Share Posted March 14 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Yes you can do it, but should you? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
