Kamfish642 Posted September 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2017 We are considering the drink package for our upcoming cruise. We were surprised on our last NCL cruise that drink package was not accepted on new private Island, Harvest Cay, but it is on Great Stirrup Cay. We just want to ensure we can use the drink package on Half Moon Cay before making a decision on purchase. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted September 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Short and definitive answer ... NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted September 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2017 No, but they usually sell a discounted package of drinks for the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2017 They don't have computers at the bars on the island to scan your ID card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeniEncinitas Posted September 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Unfortunately no! No computers hand written. BUT husband worked it out at front office!! 👍👍👍👍 Denise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j9inmaui Posted September 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So how do you pay for drinks there if they can't scan cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So how do you pay for drinks there if they can't scan cards? Same way they did before scannable cards. Written tags, with name and room number. Old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin7kodak7 Posted September 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Does not seem very fair. On RCCL at Cococay your drink package covered on the island. Don't see why NCL can't do the same. Even with hand written slips, can just keep track. Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardboy Posted September 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's in the "Terms and Conditions" for every promo that provides a beverage pkg: "Package excludes purchases made in Signature Shops, Mini Bar and In Room Dining, or beverages on Half Moon Cay." The package description if purchased seperately goes a bit further: "Excludes Mini Bar, Chocolate Seduction, In-Room Dining, beverages on Half Moon Cay, Freestyle Coca-Cola and any self-service draft beer." There's a wealth of info on HAL's site if one takes the time to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If every cruise line were the same, what would be the value of that? Of course, you only want all the "good" things to be the same on every cruise line.

Before getting your knickers all in a twist, you may want to re-read the Posts by POA1 and kenevenpar. Both of their Posts relate to "special" discounted drink packages that (according to POA1) are sold for use on HMC and not to the regular drink packages.

I know better than most, " life isn't fair " as I work for a large law firm. And true every cruisline is different, but paying for a drink package should work on that cruise lines Own island. Something to think about when your booking your next cruise. Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVgirl Posted September 18, 2017 #23 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think on one of our cruises HAL was offering an All You Can Drink package on HMC for about $30 pp. The reason that it's likely not included in the SBP might be that most people would drink a lot and hit their 15 drink limit that day.

I have been reading here for a long time and been reluctant to post and, your posts are one of the reasons. I see a huge difference in this board over the last year and it seems to stem from these types of posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
