beller Posted August 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2018 My wife, daughter, and I are wanting to go on a Norwegian Getaway cruise in March. If the first and second person in the cabin get the free drink package does the third have to buy it? Daughter is 24 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted August 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2018 If #1 and #2 get the promo, #3 doesn't have to buy a package but #3 has to either pay for drinks a la carte or buy a package in order to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The requirement for everyone to have it only applies when it is purchased. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20YearsBetweenCruises Posted August 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2018 You can also changed around who 1 and 2 are the on your reservation so that the ones who will use it most can get it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesop081 Posted August 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Only pax 1 and 2 have to take the drink pkg together if one person takes it. 3rd person does not. However, I'm not sure the third person would get the promo rate of almost free (tip add on) as one of the perks since we only ever get it for the wife and I. Kids are not old enough. I don't know that I could recommend buying it full price unless you were the type to drink 10 fruity drinks OR 15 beer OR 10 glasses of wine in a day, everyday, including port visits. That is the only way to make it worth while. Best thing about the new, as of last year, change to the UDP is that you can get two drinks at a time now instead of one. For what that's worth.

For what that's worth. The back and forth between 1 or 2 drinks per transaction (it's currently 1) doesn't change the fact that drinks are not supposed to be given from those with the package to those without the package.

God forbid! Anyone who 'buys' a drink for someone not on a drinks package should be thrown overboard!! I wouldn't bother with 3rd person package. I found you can get 4 drinks in one visit to the bar with UBP as long as you take two cards - no drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will revoke your drink package saw it happen twice on the Getaway when they were caught! Shut down their Free at Sea drinks faster than I can type this - was not pretty! Don't think they would kick you off but they would take the package away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seastar2 Posted August 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Would they allow someone to get a glass of wine and a glass of seltzer at the same time?? :rolleyes::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two wheels, is that fleet wide? We’re sailing in two weeks on Bliss and I was looking forward to bringing two glasses of wine to my room and enjoying on the balcony....

In reality, the bartenders usually have no problem giving 2. I've sailed when the terms were 1 and when they were 2 and there was no difference BUT some people have been told to either bring both cards or were told "1 at a time". Bartenders are human. They (probably) won't give you a hard time about 2 glasses of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent change after the renaming of the UBP to UOB fleetwide (both names are still used, however) is that it is back to 1 per transaction....technically;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
