Question about beverage plan

[peug]

I am wondering if the specialty coffee is included in the beverage plan. I have searched the web site and can’t find the answer. Can anyone help me?

No.

Specialty coffees, like Starbucks, are not included in the standard beverage package. You would with the premium package

The standard Premium Beverage Plan does not include Starbucks or any specialty coffee. You would need to upgrade to the Premium Plus plan to get coffees, water, energy drinks.

How does it work for children with the soda package?  When we last sailed, they were able to get virgin daiquiris and similar drinks.  Is that still included or is it only soda and some juices?

Does the onboard Starbucks charge the same prices as on land?  If so the Starbucks package would be worth it. I can find some sample menus but not Starbucks.

I don't believe the Soda package includes virgin drinks, only sodas.

On the Joy, the pricing was just a bit higher than shoreside, but this was in December and it always changes.

You're correct. The soda package is just for soda. My husband had that back in September. We had to purchase his virgin drinks separately.

Irish coffee IS on the regular "free at sea" beverage plan--I have gotten it many times with no upcharge.  You can always order a coffee and a shot of your choice of liquor on the side--if you have to have the whipped cream, you maybe SOL--you can always add creamer, if you must & if they haven't run out of it!

It's a regular Starbucks. You can order your favorite drink if it not on the posted menu (just like a Starbucks store)

Just soda. It has never been any different than that.

And am I correct that everyone in your cabin would have to purchase the plan?

It doesn't state that for the Starbucks package. I guess it's treated like the soda package where only 1 person can buy. The PBP/PPBP clearly shows that if 1 buys, all other eligible adults must also have or buy.

 

Does NCL hope that people won't share Starbucks?

It's just soda but some bartenders have been known to give virgin drinks to kids for free if the parent is getting a "real" drink....tip accordingly. 😉
