Can anyone sailing on a land-based casino comped cruise post 4/1 advise if the 'free drinks in casino' benefit has in fact been discontinued?  We have 3 currently booked and declined FAS drinks on all as the  occasional drinks from casino bar has always been sufficient for us. Thanks

On our April cruise, I did not see any 'free drinks in casino' cards.  We were on a CAS comped cruise, not land-based casino comp and had the FAS beverage package paid for by the casino due to Ruby CAS status.  Heard many grumbles from those that missed the old 'free drinks' card.

 

If you want to get more answers from someone who has cruised recently on a land-based certificate, I would suggest you post this question in the NCL forum.

Whether you get your drinks comped while in the casino is based on your play on previous (or current) cruises.  I don’t remember how many points you have to earn.   If you don’t (didn’t) get a card for free drinks in your room with your players card - once you reach the required points - you’ll get free drinks.

I apologize, I last sailed on NCL in March  2024.  The new benefits went into effect April 1 and it looks like comped drinks in casino may have been eliminated and OBC for Pearl may also have been dropped.   Try googling “NCL casinos on sea benefits”.
