SouthLyonCruiser Posted June 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I know that this topic may have already been done to death; but, it seems like NCL changes the names of their packages more often that I change the oil in my car. Our reservation shows that we have the Adult Beverage Package. Try searching for this on the NCL web site (which, by the way, is awful). You may as well be trying to find the location of the Holy Grail. You can find "Premium Beverage Package" which is described as the new name for the old "Ultimate Beverage Package". So, what in the world is the "Adult Beverage Package"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denmarks Posted June 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2019 My research shows "They're the same thing. Online and in marketing they call it the Ultimate Beverage Package. . .but on documents and confirmations they call it the Adult Beverage Package" Recently it was renamed "Premium Beverage Package" . All names for the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name changes have been made to try to clarify what is included since NCL doesn't include coffee or bottled water in their package, but does include soft drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT Trips Posted June 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2019 So NCL thinks that soda is an "adult" beverage but coffee and water aren't? I think it's more likely that they just want to keep people confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the name of the promotion has been changed to help improve clarity, the way the package actually works has not changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted June 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Adult Beverage Package = Premium Beverage Package = Ultimate Beverage Package They are all different names for the same thing. While the naming is a bit confusing, nothing about the package itself has changed. The only *new* concept is the "Premium Plus Beverage Package" that was recently added. I honestly don't know how that package is reflected on eDocs and Vacation Summaries once purchased, since I have not bought it. The basic package has continued to work just fine for me.

Kenny1080 Posted June 16, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Do you still get speciality coffee in dining rooms with the free package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an extra that we got in the U.K. under all inclusive in addition to the UBP. With all inclusive being discontinued the water, coffee and juice are not now included. We just get the standard UBP. having said that, even before all inclusive I found it was relatively rare for them to actually bother charging for a coffee, even though they said they would.
