Drink limit

[swanmark]

Hi guys, I have noticed with some drinks packages you are only allowed about 15 drinks, does this also apply to the ultimate Drinks package with Norwegian, I ask because I have not seen anything mentioned about this on the NCL site.

Nope, no limit.

 

I suppose though that if someone gets drunk and disorderly, then security would probably step in so no more drinks, at least then.

No limit or time bar.

To clarify on limits though, does the person with the UBC have a limit they can get at a time? I think I saw maybe two drinks somewhere? I have heard waits can get long and may be interested in not waiting on the next round!

The waits are not long at all. There is an unwritten rule that you can get 2 drinks. Use to be 1 at a time.

Nope... no limit... as long as you're mostly upright and semi-conscious, you're good to go.

No limit but a 15.00 max on price of drink. If over the 15.00 you pay the difference + 18% gratuity extra.

 

Ex:Chocolate Martini 🍸 is $17.95 you pay $2.95 +18%= $3.48 on your S&S card.

waits are long depending on what you call long. We did have a long wait the first cruise we took that offered the UBP a couple of times: one time was in the casino, at the bar and the other was the first day, by the pool. there were not that many people, but they only had 2 bar tenders and people were pushing and shoving. Otherwise we have never waited over a couple of minutes, regardless as to which bar we have used.

Yes, you do have to wait between ordering drinks which makes sense. Otherwise you could be ordering for all your friends. :p:D

yes, we have usually bn allowed 2 drinks at once, but as you say: unwritten.

I believe Carnival is the only line with a limit on the drink package.

I was on the jade in Jan and we had no issue ordering 2 drinks at a time with 1 card... in fact even when we were both there they would only run one card so then we switched to taking turns getting rounds. Several bars did this with no issues. I believe it is actually a written rule - remember seeing it somewhere on Norwegians website.

 

Outside of the bar closest to the buffet on embarkation day, we never ran into any waits at the bars for more than a few minutes

Don't think I can drink 15 in one day. We will see next week.

Not correct. But NCL doesn't have a limit.

I'm not a drinker, but I do have a very high tolerance, so on our first cruise we had the drinks package. I drank a painkiller about every 20 minutes from about 10 am till I went to bed, which was usually about 11 pm. I did not find the drinks strong at all. In fact, they were a bit on the weak side.

 

I more than would have gotten my money's worth if I had paid for the package.

What watered down drinks - the sacrilege - the horror of it all - wasting water like that that could be charged

an outrageous fee for simple consumption in a monopoly controlled market !

Carnival limits you to 15 drinks in a 24 hour period -- but they only charge $49pppd (plus gratuity) and the dollar limit on each drink is now $50.

It was amazing how a few bucks spread around here and there with the bartenders helped with service even when the bars were busy on my recent cruise on Escape.

They will not limit you although they should be limiting people. From my experience they over serve alcohol.

We were on the Getaway last September...we had the Beverage Package but routinely tipped the bartenders $1/drink...By the second day they knew us and by the third day they'd see us in line and pour out drink. The lines weren't usually too long but this technique helped when they were!

I did not say watered down drink, I said weak drinks. There is a difference.

[ClevelandCruisin]

No limits

I have found it to be quite the opposite. The drinks tend to be stronger than the average recipe.

when I called and asked what the limits might be - I was told the limit was drinks up to $15. so you can order as many $14.99 drinks as you want.

On our recent NCL Gem cruise, I thought I was tough.

(Double shots- no problem)

But in the last days, actually tired of alcohol.:o

I found the pre-made drinks weak (comparable to what I would expect from a chain restaurant). The made to order drinks were similar to what I would get in a neighborhood bar.
