tregatti Posted December 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Due to a recently-diagnosed medical issue I've needed to cut out alcoholic beverages. On past cruises I've enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner & the occasional beer or gin & tonic at happy hour. I've been looking at various HAL drink menus available online, and it looks like they have Heineken 0.0 but no non-alcoholic wine or spirits seem to be listed. Has anyone been able to get NA wine or spirits on board recently (even if they're not listed on the menus)? I know I can bring on a bottle of NA wine and pay the corkage fee, so I'm considering that option if nothing else is available. Many thanks!

sailawayward Posted December 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I enjoyed several delicious mocktails on our previous cruise. Just ask your bartender what s/he can create for you. I don't remember NA wine or NA spirits, but honestly never thought to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted December 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Other than NA beer I don't think there is any other option. I've seen NA wines (fancy grape juice,) but have not seen them on board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkc Posted December 9, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Spirits, by nature of their name, are alcohol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted December 9, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) You should be able to get Fre wines by the glass at any bar or restaurant and it's included in Have it all. We had a waiter/bar person in the dining room tell us it was only available by the bottle. A brief discussion with the F&B manager cleared that up quickly. If you have a problem ordering by the glass....find a manager and/or escalate up the chain appropriately. Alcohol free beer is or should be available at any bar or restaurant. NOTE: the non alcoholic wines (Fre) wines are not on the wine menu...you just have to ask for them. Edited December 9, 2023 by ghstudio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneSailor2024 Posted February 14 #8 Share Posted February 14 Are the Fre Wines available on European sailings? We are booked on a cruise on the Rotterdam to the British Isles this Spring. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
