zlacruising Posted July 15, 2015 #201 Share Posted July 15, 2015 i would like a copy also :D There is a spreadsheet on this thread with all the drinks. About 2 pages back. Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Cindy Lou Posted July 17, 2015 #202 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Was told with UDP you might be charged taxes for drinks ordered while still in US port. Is this true? And thanks for all the suggestions. Have my list ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minaco Posted July 17, 2015 #203 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yes, taxes will be charged until you are in international waters which won't occur until a few hours after departure. So, any purchases made between that time, drinks, etc will be taxable. Once the gift shops open, you will usually be in tax free waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Cindy Lou Posted July 17, 2015 #204 Share Posted July 17, 2015 So even though the UDP is already paid for any drinks are taxed until you leave port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarps14 Posted July 17, 2015 #205 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Is the tax applied if you received the UBP as a promo with the gratuities included? I realize gratuity has nothing to do with taxes, just wondering how it will be handled if received as a fully paid for promo. Well, geez this will be what? like $.25?

MissRabbit Posted July 17, 2015 #207 Share Posted July 17, 2015 This will be my first time getting the UBP.... it's been mentioned that you can order drinks off menu from other bars in the ship, but can you go off, off, menu and give them a recipe to try? Or would that be impossible for them to know what to charge you? Whether it's included in the UBP or if there would be an extra charge..... Or what if you sub out one juice for another or one liquor for another? I am not a fan on pineapple juice nor coconut rum, so would I be able to order a drink that has one of those in it and ask for something else as a substitute? Would that still be covered in the UBP? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help. I'm not sure about your first question but they will substitute a juice or rum for you. They will also give you extra olives for a dry martini and extra cherries in your drink!!! Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someine will see my other question and have some insight on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the price for any drink is based on how much alcohol goes into it rather than what it is mixed with. Something which calls for 3 different liquors would probably cost more than a simple vodka tonic. But, there does not seem to be much that is over the up to and including $11 limit ( I think thats the limit, or is it $12? It's been a long day ). So as long as the bartender knows the alcohol type called for, he should be able to easily assign a price. If it does happen to be slightly over the limit, you just get charged the difference.

Thanks for your reply. There is a drink over on Carnival that I love. It appears NCL has nothing that is comparable. Close, but not quite. Guess I'll just have to see if they'll make it for me.

KanataKruiser Posted July 21, 2015 #215 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I asked this very question, the bartender's answer was "you finish that one, you can order another" (not sure I remember much of the rest of the evening.....just kidding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissRabbit Posted July 21, 2015 #217 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Deets please! It's called Blue Bahama. It tastes a little like a citrussy LIIT but not quite. It has Bombay gin, bacardi mango rum, Skyy vodka, Midori(a melon liqueur), Blue Curacao, citrus and a splash of Sprite. It was delicious and packed a punch. There are similar drinks that I've seen on NCL, but not that combination of alcohol. Or maybe there is and I haven't seen it in my research!

zlacruising Posted July 27, 2015 #219 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm following this thread. Thanks to all for your contributions... can't wait to try some/all of them! ;):D I tried almost everything on the spread sheet. All were great! Last 2 days I had enough alcohol so slowed down a bit. Cruise to Bermuda was great. I got bumped off a flight (on purpose) on the way home with Delta. I have 800 dollars to use for trips in the next year. Time to plan!!!!:) Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
