NCLfamily Posted February 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm obviously joking, but it's unreal the amount of people doing this. I do know there is such a thing as the UDP, but I am referring to those using the abbreviation when discussing the drinks package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TardisDance Posted February 26, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 26, 2016 All it means is that NCL needs better names for its packages. Obviously all the acronyms could be taken to mean other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dijid Posted February 26, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Don't ban them! Just put them in the dark room with the persistent repetition that I keep reading about. You know, the "dinning" room where NCL nickel and "dimming" is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevCruise Posted February 27, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The UDP will be with us for a while. We have it for our late September cruise. We do too and are wondering if it'll actually function when we board the ship. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have Stewart force feeding them deserts (who wants to eat sand?):rolleyes: I think that NCL calling it 'Ultimate' is a bit rich (as is the price:eek:) - no speciality coffees; no bottled water, whereas every other line includes these.

SuiteCruiser Posted February 27, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Some people just loose their minds over this stuff. The UBP is the Ultimate Drink Package for all intensive purposes. The UDP is only for the specialty dinning restaurants and not for the drinks. There pretty clear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't-use-real-name Posted February 28, 2016 #20 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Whatever you decipher - the "U" does NOT stand for "UNLIMITED" ! And it is about high time for NCL to include the coffees as part of the Ultimate Beverage Package (UBP) or just maybe it is not practical for NCL to have wide awake drunks on board. The price of the coffees are less than the average house drink. Like alcoholic drinks only so much can be consumed before getting the BUZZ of drain bamage - what was I thinking - Oh that and then the human containment reservoir needs to be drained before the pipeage screams - "Please release me let it go" ! as a new dance is initiated across the dance floor to exit to a restroom. But I suppose if they ran out of coffee on the ship they would have to make a special port call at Juan Valdez's coffee plantation. Hundreds of solutions but none so critical as having one's COFFEE FIX ! Coffee on the high sea just does not click quite like TEA does ! But come on NCL at least start a beverage package for Coffees even if it is separate ! Edited February 28, 2016 by don't-use-real-name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
