Veteran discounts and bringing wine on board

[Little Rascal]

I am new to Norweigan cruise lines and was wondering if they give Veteran discounts or if you are able to bring some wine on board to drink in your room.

Yes you can get discounts if that sailing is offering it. When you make your reservation/ or if you already did let the booking agent know to add this to your reservation. Yes you can bring wine but they will charge you a 15.00 corking fee. When they charge this fee they will put a sticker on your bottle so you will be able to bring the wine to your table for dinner. I know many cruisers also take the chance and just sneak it into the luggage, just pack it very well. Happy Sailing!

But often 1 or 2 cannot be combined you can find out the cost by doing a fake booking and then you'll see boxes on left side asking to check for discounts.

Great questions!

 

You can find all of the information on discounts for Veterans and current Military Personnel (including a link to applicable sailings) on the following page of NCL's website:

You can also check the box for "Military" while searching for a cruise on NCL's website. This will tell the system to include the discount (if applicable) in the pricing.

 

As for the wine, in short, yes you can bring wine onboard and you can drink it in or out of your room. Please note the following from NCL's FAQ:

 

 

 

What about alcohol consumption and wine corkage?

 

 

ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION POLICY

Passengers must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol.

With the exception of Alaska and Hawaii itineraries, Norwegian permits young adults to purchase and personally consume wine and beer only while onboard and with the consent of an accompanying parent. Authorization will be given only when the accompanying parent completes the Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver form. This form can be obtained and completed at the Guest Services Desk upon embarkation of the vessel. However, passengers 18 years of age or older are permitted to consume alcoholic beverages when sailing on round-trip European voyages without having to complete the Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver form.

 

Please note that with the exception of Wine and Champagne, all guests are prohibited from bringing alcohol on board our ships. If you purchase any alcohol at one of our ports-of-call or in our onboard shops, we will safely store your purchase(s) and either on the final night of the cruise or the morning of debarkation it will be available for pick up in a designated area.

 

Wine & Champagne Policy

Guests may bring bottles of wine and champagne on board. When bottles are brought on board and served or consumed in any restaurant, public room area or in their stateroom, a corkage fee will be charged according to bottle sizes noted below.

 

750 ml Bottle: $15.00

1,500 ml Magnum: $30.00

 

Wine or champagne sent directly to the ship by travel agents, friends, family, etc. or from another retail source, are subject to the same fees. Box wines are not allowed on board.

 

* Norwegian encourages the responsible use of alcohol and accordingly reserves the right to permanently or temporarily revoke the drinking privileges of any guest who violates Norwegian's Guest Code of Conduct or who is deemed a danger to himself, herself or others by vessel management. Continued abuse of alcohol while sailing and/or violation of Norwegian's alcohol policy may result in immediate disembarkation.
