Beverage Package

[Giorgi-one]

I've had the Classic Beverage package on Celebrity several times. Includes drinks and wine up to $9. This usually covered most drinks I wanted and a decent selection of wines. I just booked a cruise on Getaway and got the Ultimate Beverage Package which includes drinks and wine up to $15 per serving. Are drinks that much more expensive on NCL? I cannot imagine paying $15 for a drink or a glass of wine. Is there a list of drinks and wines included in the package?

You will find it very difficult to find a drink that isn't covered by the $15 UBP limit. Some ultra-premium top shelf liquor and maybe one or two glasses of wine may exceed $15.

If, for some reason, you wish to have something that exceeds $15, you only pay the difference.

Almost all the drinks on NCL cost a lot less than the $15 limit. Very little isn't included.

I assume they have just set the limit high so it looks generous. In effect, it wouldn't make much difference if the limit was a few dollars less.

The drink prices are pretty much in line with Celebrity, if not a bit higher now, after three raises last year.

A big difference to Celebrity (or most other mass market cruise lines for that matter) is that speciality coffees and bottled water is not included with UBP on NCL.

The limit was previously $11, and even then it was very difficult to find anything that was higher than that.
