suzy2 Posted April 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Going to Bermuda for 7 day cruise. 4 full days in port, free at sea package. Is drinking package different for Bermuda? There is only three full days at sea, and 4 land in Bermuda. I'm worried if I pick the drinking package and then only have it for 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langham1865 Posted April 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2019 To answer your question, the package works the same, in port or not. Typically just not as many bars open on the ship during the day when in port. Question for you, which Bermuda sailing are you on that had 4 days in Bermuda? The main ones, out of Boston and NYC have 2 overnights and basically 2 1/3 days in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if any 4 days in port cruises since ncl has a ship in port 7-days a week. Why would you worry,,, unless you abstain while in port. Everyone else is getting tipsy.

Want to know if docked four 4 days if it's still free because it's different being dock than many days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you getting confused with Casino policy? UBP is always available, at sea or in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to know if docked four 4 days if it's still free because it's different being dock than many days First, please read your cruise's itinerary carefully. You're not in port 4 days. Second, you're totally mistaken that "it's only free when your (sic) out to sea, it's not free when you're in port" . You're misinterpreting what the name of the promotion means. The package works the same in port as it does at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose the drink package it is good as soon as you step on the ship until the bars close the night before u leave the ship. Doesn’t matter if you are at sea or in a port you can get drinks for free on your drink package. When you board the ship and are still in us waters you will pay local tax on the drinks you order. So if you order a $10 drink on the ship while you are still in Miami or us waters u will pay Miami sales tax. If the Miami sales tax is 6% you will get a bill for .60 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have the itinerary mixed up. You are at sea four days and in Bermuda 3 - though technically it's not a full day on the third day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worktocruise610 Posted April 25, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 25, 2019 "free at sea" does not mean only free when at sea, it is just the name of their promotion... you're drink package works while you are on the 7 day cruise... as another poster mentioned, you will pay tax while in port (though as I believe not Bermuda) but that fee is minimal, your drinks are free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday board, Saturday at sea, Sunday from 1PM, overnight to Monday, overnight to Tuesday until 5:30, depart Bermuda, then at sea Wednesday and again Thursday, arriving Boston 8AM. You're counting the number of lines rather than the actual days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship arrives in Bermuda at 1 pm on Sunday and departs at 5:30 pm Tuesday so it's in port for 52 1/2 hours, just a bit over 2 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look more closely, you will see that you arrive in Bermuda on Sunday, Overnight for a full day on Monday and leave Tuesday at 5:30 (3 days). You are at sea on Friday, Saturday, Wednesday and Thursday (4 days). The chart has an extra line after Sunday that shouldn't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
