Tender charge????

i was told (and shocked) that NCL charges a fee for tender service to their private island. Is there any truth to this??? I can hardly believe that they would charge to get off to go to their PI.

Also does the beverage package work on their PI like RCCL or not so like Carnival? That's another stunner to me.

Thanks for any info.

There was no charge when I was on the Epic and we went March 8th. That sounds ridiculous.

Yes, the drink package works on GSC, but Bacardi Bar is always busy. Go to the one further down the beach.

No tender fee at all.

UBP works on GSC but not on Harvest Caye. Check out the terms and conditions of the UBP on the NCL web site to see what is/isn't included.

Who told you that? The tender to Great Stirrup Cay is free and not only is the beverage package valid on the island the food is provided too.

Alas whoever you were talking to... was a muppet. No tender fee to GSC and HC is a walk off.

...and the HC UBP thing is a Belize rule, not NCL...

It's not the 1st. of April, yet ;p :D :rolleyes:

Urban legend ... unfounded hearsay, source(s) ??

Always take with a grain of salt what you second cousin heard from his/her neighbors's grandfather's barber's mechanic unless you check it out with Norwegian or on here. You made a good choice asking here.;p

Maybe they are referring to the "port" charges for the island?

You will need a Tender Ticket for GSC-- but they are free.

if you book the tender ticket from the app on your phone, it might show the price as $0.00. I thought it was kinda odd the app showed a price tag on the tender ticket when i booked GSC tenders on my previous cruise.

No charge for tenders.

The beverage package works differently on different private islands. On Harvest Caye you can't use it because the places are not owned by NCL. At GSC beverages are treated just like you are on the ship.

Never hurts to read other peoples posts.

#FakeNews. Tendering to Great Stirrup Cay is free. Your beverage package works at all bars on GSC. The buffet and taco stand is free. Loungers are free. Sand is free.

DON'T GIVE NCL ANY IDEAS FOR MORE PLACES TO CHARGE EXTRA !!!!!!!;p:eek:

Oh come on, it will be for your 'convenience'.....

Although it might be good for finding a hookup while you are at home I would say to avoid it while on vacation and just enjoy yourself!

Oooooooooooooo........ you said "Tender"! my bad! ;)

I had to look twice...when I saw the topic I thought it was another "washy" thread. :rolleyes:

There is a charge from Harvest Caye to Placencia... Maybe this is the rumored charge they heard about?

Thanks for your responses everyone- the only thing that I can come up with is that maybe the passengers were getting reimbursed for the port fee to their PI (port cancelled due to weather) and one thought that they had to pay.

I must say that I am a bit surprised at they daily gratuity fee now being $19.99 per passenger per day (just went up again from $18.99) unless you prepaid prior to 4/1/18. Anyone else think it's a bit steep compared to RCCL, Celebrity, Carnival, or Princess? We are looking at approx. a $5 difference or more.

Just got off the Freedom and I believe we paid $13.50 per passenger per day. Yes I do tip extra - always have when deserved. The $20. fee does make you think twice now and might not give as much as in the past for great service. I guess we should expect great service on NCL. Haven't had an issue in the past so hopeful it will still be good.

Would there even be a port fee to the cruise line's private island?

The daily grat fee for Haven is now $17.50 per day for Haven, and $14.50 per day for all non-Haven guests. Not sure where you got $19.99? Or is this an April Fools' Joke?:D

Yes. The island still has to follow bahama rules and regulations

$22.99 USD per person per day for Suites and $19.99 USD per person per day for all other metas
