Steve_36 Posted July 11, 2017 #501 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've been able to get drip coffee when they've had it, like on the Jewel, but I could not get any coffee on the Getaway with the UBP at the Atrium since they did not have drip. Unless I got it with booze in it, then it was covered. I'm not saying that your friends weren't able to get plain espresso shots, it just was not available under the UBP in my experience even when I got a plain Americano. Per NCL's site regarding the UBP. Regarding the coffee drinks, NCL only mentions "select Lavazza drinks" as being excluded.

Caribbean Drifters Posted July 11, 2017 #502 Share Posted July 11, 2017 it would be nice to get some clarification on this, eventually they will have to re write it if there is a proliferation of Starbucks of the new ships, including Bliss, since there is no exclusions for Starbucks drinks.

JezzaC Posted July 11, 2017 #503 Share Posted July 11, 2017 There is a difference between offerings. For Europeans NCL is selling Premium All Inclusive which includes also Lavazza coffee during dining as it includes bottled water and service charges as well for example.

CruisinMaterial Posted July 11, 2017 #505 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I can't remember who or where but I remember talking with someone that the Bliss was rumored to not have the brew pub? Bliss will have the first full blown Starbucks on an NCL ship following Starbuck's brand guidelines. About time! Since the ship will be based in Seattle, it makes sense. Now if they'd roll out Starbucks extensive menu fleet-wide! :) RCCL already has Starbucks products on it. I figured NCL would never pick it up with a competing cruise line serving their products but I guess we'll be pleasantly surprised! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted July 11, 2017 #506 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just off the Jade and when we ordered Irish Coffee's in the atrium we had to pay for the coffee still but the booze was free with our package :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted July 11, 2017 #507 Share Posted July 11, 2017 but I could not get any coffee on the Getaway with the UBP at the Atrium since they did not have drip. Unless I got it with booze in it, then it was covered. Lucky you. On the Jade this month even with booze the coffee part was a separate charge.

FreestyleNovice Posted July 11, 2017 Author #508 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Lacking a block schedule, this are the two megablocks we will see in the open mid Aug after/during float out of World Dream; After the float out of the indoor Bliss megablock World Dream will be floated out, berthed along the pier where now the outside Bliss megablock is docked. Which will look like this. The two Bliss blocks will then be towed into the large building hall to take the forward spot of World Dream in the hall. Hopefully we will see some more details on those two megablocks, the float out may be streamed live by Meyer, local news or some enthusiasts. The for us most important before part with the block coming out will take place a few hours before the float out time so be prepared! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 440 or so days! :') I'm on the sailing the week before you. Have roughly 370 days to go. That means there's good news for you, your cruise is actually in about 380 days. That's 60 days less of waiting.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Diego Cruizer Posted July 13, 2017 #518 Share Posted July 13, 2017 We are a very large group of friends and family ( 80 cabins so far) and we are on the October 27, MR cruise. We all did the Getaway last fall and had a blast!. I love this thread because with all the info many of you help to provide, I can keep our very large group up to date on what is happening step by step. Planning cruises for such large groups keeps me hopping! Thank you to everyone who takes the time to post pictures, etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
