MBprincess Posted January 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I thought I knew most everything about cruising NCL but I was wrong. I cruised a couple of weeks ago and wanted to thank you all for the tip about "souvenir glasses". Some one clued us in to order everything in regular glasses from the bar and that saved us $2.50ish a drink. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnql Posted January 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Do you mean dont order the souvenir glasses? we are doing our first cruise with ncl Only if you want to save the money. If you actually want the souvenir glass, then feel free to order one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckygrl714 Posted January 8, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I loved the glasses and thought it was a very cheap souviner! I came home with a set of 4 of each! :-) Love them! However, I'm getting ready to embark on my next NCL cruise and likely (notice I say likely) won't purchase them this time...but then again...I may cause they are so darn cute!

terrymtex01 Posted January 8, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Just another tip I think is worth mentioning as far as drinks, if you are not one that has to have a specific drink, they almost always have drink specials every day which usually will save you some $$$. I really have only noticed the drink specials on Caribbean cruises, but they might have them on any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patpcozy Posted January 9, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The souvenier glasses do hold a little more then the regular glasses so i usually get my first drink in one and then have them refill it at the reg price.

STARFISH*4 Posted January 10, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2011 i came home with kinds...the BLINKY--to FUN and the martini and the fishbowl (cute) and the beer mug...plan to get one or two on my STAR cruise next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebas030 Posted January 10, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well do get the first "welcome aboard" drink ( not free ) Then look around if you like something order it. Let's say you have "only" 6 drinks per day at 2.5$ less each it comes to 15$ less if you don't order the souvenir glass. I loved the "blinky" one with the "blinky ice cubes" and I WILL getthe fishbowl on my next cruise to Bermuda. Have a good one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it makes no difference to you, ask for your drinks from the "house" spirits instead of the premium. That saves a buck or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted January 10, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just another tip I think is worth mentioning as far as drinks, if you are not one that has to have a specific drink, they almost always have drink specials every day which usually will save you some $$$. I really have only noticed the drink specials on Caribbean cruises, but they might have them on any. I would mention that if you get the 2 for 1 drink special and it comes in the souvenier glass that you will still pay for the 2nd glass, so if 2 drinks cost $20 you'll actually pay $12.50.

jdvmd Posted January 10, 2011 #11 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have never been able to snag one of the fishbowls. Always been sold out. Love the blinky blinky ones and have several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergusonvt Posted January 10, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Only if you want to save the money. If you actually want the souvenir glass, then feel free to order one. Make sure you specifically tell them you don't want it in the souvenir glass otherwise that is how they will bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
