NCL Drinks Packages - ? Not allowed two different types

[SPUD8421]

My husband and I are cruising with NCL for the first time this November. I wanted to book the ultimate drinks package for myself and an adult soft drinks package for my husband who does not drink alcohol. This is not possible, apparently you must book two packages the same. Is there any way round this? It seems crazy!:confused:

To prevent the sharing of drink packages, everyone in the same cabin must have the same package. That is why we have never bought the UBP.

Thanks for this. Do you find bar and wine prices high?

[Nalagh]

They are normal bar prices. You really have to be a big drinker to benefit from the UBP.

 

I pay by the bottle, and ask the bar to keep it. What I drink is not sold by the glass.

I agree.

Since my DW only has one or two drinks a day, the Ultimate Drink Package would be absurd.

As mentioned on another thread, NCL Escape (10 day TransAtlanitc ) for two, including the 15%... $1,242.00

If NCL would include a post-cruise detox in the package, I may reconsider.:rolleyes::p

Yes. Do not purchase the packages. Buy your drinks a la carte.

 

Problem solved.

If your DH drinks enough soft drinks the soda sticker would still be a good value. HOWEVER, there are always flavored waters and milk available in the buffet all day long for free.

Many previous posters have asked this same question for many different reasons. The answer is, AFAIK, always the same....no. And as Triptolemus has already posted... buy your drinks a la carte.. it will be less expensive in the long run.

The posters question was answered by several other posters before you, so your snarky answer was not required.

This information is incorrect, here is the NCL UBP info.

Agreed. My apology.

Did you actually do this?
