UBP - Must try cocktail/drink list!

i would like a copy also :D

There is a spreadsheet on this thread with all the drinks. About 2 pages back.

Was told with UDP you might be charged taxes for drinks ordered while still in US port. Is this true? And thanks for all the suggestions. Have my list ready to go.

Yes, taxes will be charged until you are in international waters which won't occur until a few hours after departure. So, any purchases made between that time, drinks, etc will be taxable. Once the gift shops open, you will usually be in tax free waters.

So even though the UDP is already paid for any drinks are taxed until you leave port?

Is the tax applied if you received the UBP as a promo with the gratuities included? I realize gratuity has nothing to do with taxes, just wondering how it will be handled if received as a fully paid for promo.

Well, geez this will be what? like $.25?

I think I was charged 21 cents....and well worth it:cool:

This will be my first time getting the UBP.... it's been mentioned that you can order drinks off menu from other bars in the ship, but can you go off, off, menu and give them a recipe to try? Or would that be impossible for them to know what to charge you? Whether it's included in the UBP or if there would be an extra charge.....

Or what if you sub out one juice for another or one liquor for another? I am not a fan on pineapple juice nor coconut rum, so would I be able to order a drink that has one of those in it and ask for something else as a substitute? Would that still be covered in the UBP?

Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure about your first question but they will substitute a juice or rum for you. They will also give you extra olives for a dry martini and extra cherries in your drink!!!

Thanks! Good to know I can sub out flavours I don't like so much. Hopefully someine will see my other question and have some insight on that.

Grey goose cherry

Sprite

Splash of lime juice

going on the getaway sept. 19 and also got the UBP promo, so what doesn't it include..lol

this will be a first trying the UBP....im a Stoli (vodka) and Maker's Mark (burbon) drinker, those should be included correct?

was there a particular bartender that you preferred?

Just thought I'd move this up so it was easy to find. Big thanks to Warm-Water Diver for putting this together!

I'm sure the price for any drink is based on how much alcohol goes into it rather than what it is mixed with. Something which calls for 3 different liquors would probably cost more than a simple vodka tonic. But, there does not seem to be much that is over the up to and including $11 limit ( I think thats the limit, or is it $12? It's been a long day ).

So as long as the bartender knows the alcohol type called for, he should be able to easily assign a price. If it does happen to be slightly over the limit, you just get charged the difference.

Thanks for your reply. There is a drink over on Carnival that I love. It appears NCL has nothing that is comparable. Close, but not quite. Guess I'll just have to see if they'll make it for me.

I asked this very question, the bartender's answer was "you finish that one, you can order another" (not sure I remember much of the rest of the evening.....just kidding)

Deets please!

It's called Blue Bahama. It tastes a little like a citrussy LIIT but not quite. It has Bombay gin, bacardi mango rum, Skyy vodka, Midori(a melon liqueur), Blue Curacao, citrus and a splash of Sprite.

It was delicious and packed a punch.

There are similar drinks that I've seen on NCL, but not that combination of alcohol. Or maybe there is and I haven't seen it in my research!

im a Stoli (vodka)

Stoli Elit is included when the bar has it stocked

Maker's Mark (burbon)

included and available pretty much everywhere

made some slight modifications to the spreadsheet.

I tried almost everything on the spread sheet. All were great! Last 2 days I had enough alcohol so slowed down a bit. Cruise to Bermuda was great. I got bumped off a flight (on purpose) on the way home with Delta. I have 800 dollars to use for trips in the next year. Time to plan!!!!:)

bumping this up :D

Since many have the UBP and the new bar menus have limited drinks listed, I have created a list of beverages that have been mentioned on Cruise Critic. Here is the LINK for Beverage List.

Thanks for the list!

My favorite drinks on my dawn cruise was their Mai tai and one called a time out. I wish I asked how to make them, they were so good!

Great List! Does anyone know what is in a Rum Cake? Someone mentioned this drink somewhere on the forum but I haven't seen details on it.
