To be honest I think the Livorno port rules will change again in a month or so and it will be different from what it is right now
Why do you think they would change it??

Italy has the right to do what they do, but I have upgraded my drink pacakage and I feel a little bid cheated... They should have told me when purchased the upgrade that i only could get beer and wine in Italian Ports... Just my opinion....

Beer and wine aren't alcohol? 😉 JK. (I know, you don't drink them)
Well, while not ideal, you *could* get off the ship and have your tipple at a local bar. AFAIK they're not saying liquor sales IN Livorno are prohibited, only that NCL won't serve hard liquor that day. So if you're really into getting your drink on, leave the ship and shop local. 🙂
Italy have their right to do what they do, but it is not okay to sell us an upgrade that is not available to us. Why should we buy it if we can not get the premium brands?

This is usually a port or state decree. For instance when sailing from Galveston drink packages don’t work due to state law until you are in International waters
We upgraded our drink package, if we had known this we would not have upgraded it. But other writes that they enforces this "Wine and Beer only" hours after they left ports.
I think they should have told us when we purchased the upgrade of the drink package. But thats my opinion.

I do think it's a realistic expectation, hehe
But really, if I'm supposed to go back and see all the I-9 documentation from the last three years thanks to the ridiculousness of the federal government, then NCL could update the alcohol regulations in each port. It would be a monster of a job at first to collect it all, but then they just need to keep abreast of the situation. Hmmm, since this impacts every cruise line sailing, I bet some organization like CLIA could do this for them.
I dont´t think this issue counts for MSC Cruises their ships are flagged in Genoa (I think) Italy and pay taxes here.

Do you guys have the same experience with Italien Port authorities? Do Princess enforce those rules just as strict as NCL? If yes how long after sail away will enforce it?

INCLUDING BEVERAGE PACKAGE 😱

Someone posted that in Civitavecchia you are allowed all alcohol if you have the drink package. If you don't then no alcohol.
Let us know if it's the same when you arrive in civitavecchia.
But NOT in Livorno!

I think it's more you only get the information on the day. It would be better if it was possible to view all the ports on norwegian's website, and the relevant restrictions (if any) and port taxes associated with each one. But this isn't published.
I agree! Then you could decide if you would upgrade or buy the drink package (plus)

There are several posts in this thread showing NCL IS informing its guests with signage. What more would you have them do?
I wouldn't have pre-purchased the Premium PLUS Package if I had known this!

Hey Guys
Do you guys have the same experience with Italien Port authorities? Do Rccl enforce those rules just as strict as NCL? If yes how long after sail away will enforce it?

Norweigian should inform it´s guests about this, we have just upgraded to the "Plus" drink package and have our last evening in Livorno! 😞

Thanks for the answers! Its our 14th cruise we have tried big ships and have a cruise with NCL Getaway in June but I think the old fashion ships with old decor pubs and classic decor.. We do not use flowriders/Para glider simulator/ Go cart/Bumber cars etc. so we learned that smaller and older ships are better for us. Maybe its unfair to the newer ship but they look so cold and minimalistic. I will say the Swim up bar on Arvia looks fantastic. I must try that one day... 😂 Thanks again Guys!

Hello Guys
We have cruised once with P&O back in 2014 with Oceana, now we are going with Ventura in December (Canary Islands from Southampton).
Question 1: How is the selection of wines in the Drink package? Many wines or only a few?
Question 2: Do we have to make a reservation for the Theater/Shows?
Question: 3 How is the Internet (Ultimate) on Ventura? Is it worth the money?
Question: 4 What is your opinion on the Ventura, Do you like her?
TIA!
Best regards

You was right!

Hey Guys here it is..... now I understand....

Maybe its the offer we got 2 speciality restaurant + 150 minutes wifi and 50 dollars for excursions at every port. Could that be called "Jade" ??

But we have never used the Casino on our cruises??

Hello Guys!
We have a Cruise with Getaway, but in our account there is a little sign saying "Jade". Do you know what that is? NCL confirmed that we are booked on the Getaway and not NCL Jade.
We tried with the Chat agent on the website they could not help us,... Please see the attached picture... Next the black arrow.

Hey Guys
I heard that the entertainment has been downsized on NCL Breakaway class ships? What is your experience, is bad?
We are Cruising with Getaway in June 2023, are an drinkpage upgrade from Classic to Premium worth the money?

Thanks for all the answers!
I did not complain and i knew there was a risk for catching covid! And I don't blame anyone! We was ashore 6 times in Katakolon, Kotor, Dubrovnik , Messina, Corfu, Livorno.
We will cruise again, and love Celebrity!

Hey Guys
We just disembarked from Celebrity Reflection the 13th. of june after a wonderful cruise, we got a PCR test on the 14th and we both testet positive for covid. We had a wonderful cruise and has nothing to complain about, we are just curious how many got it. We did not participated in floor dance in the Grand foyer and were very Cautious about our behavior and wearing mask at excursions and so on.
We have a little fewer and coughing and our throat hurt, we will manage through it.
Italian Ports no Spirits...

We have our last evening in Livorno, and some writes that the "Beer & Wine" thing is enforced many hours... I feel they should have told me when I Pre-Purchased the Drink package upgrade, It was quite expensive.
