We always use the NCL air offer. We just got our flights for Prima direct flights both ways and decent schedule flying Utah to Florida. We usually have a layover, so I am happy

Most of the bars have the cartons but they won’t always be cold. You can ask for a glass with ice.

I know this is delayed but the answer is Yes. We spent a good deal of time at the Moet bar with good use of the plus drink package.

you can use the app on the ship and earn points but you can't redeem them onboard. Sometimes it takes a while for the balance to sink up while on the ship so it makes it hard to keep track on how much credit you have. I purchase the premium plus package since I know I will drink a lot of starbucks as well as better wines. The cost of most drinks were around 6$ but that was last September so I don't know if it has changed. The menu prices were about a dollar more than the area I live but I know it changes by location.

All the Starbucks I have visited on NCL have the full menu including milk alternatives and flavors. My DH got a white peppermint mocha on our last cruise more than once.

Choosing a cruise line depends on how you like to vacation. I have been on Princess, Carnival and Royal, I prefer NCL for a cost perspective I like a drink package, a dining package and wifi is necessary my husband has to work since he owns a business. I find food and entertainment better, I like the slower vibe, I have no desire to dress up more than a sundress and sandals for dinner. The local is a must when we need a snack after midnight. When you factor in all the costs all the cruise lines are the same price and if you watch you can get some great deals. We like to dance and find the jewel class ships the best for us. The crew is friendlier on NCL. We have made some great friends on NCL that we still communicate with. I love the spa as well. Will you enjoy it yes, will it be what you expect from Princess no, but I will say Princess is my least favorite line .
