New to Norwegian, Questions on drink package

[closecruiser]

Have never cruised with Norwegian but am considering a 3 or 4 night just to get away.  On the drink package that is included at times is there a limit of drinks per day that you can order?

 

Has anyone recently cruised on the Sun, (think thats it) out of Port Canaveral?  Would love some feedback on that.

 

Thanks,

no limit on drinks per day.

No limit on drinks. 2 at a time. As much as you want. 

 

On the 3 day cruises, it is just an open bar on the ship. Call drinks. You have to pay for top shelf booze. The short cruises are fun. We like them a lot. Just enough of a getaway.

Thank you for the info.  Just might have to book something quick.

On my 7 day cruise, I was charged $20/day gratuity for drink package.  Not sure it was worth it.

OP in on the sun which (I believe) is open bar... the $20/day gratuity is worth it if you drink - I do, so saves me money versus paying for each drink... all depends on the individual

Did you pay for the drink package or was that a perk of when you book you got the drink package.

Thanks

I chose this as my perk but was informed of the gratuity add on.  I purchased the meal plan which I don’t think had a gratuity add on.

It did. 20% of whatever you paid.

I'm guessing that's the UK T&C's, US T&C's don't include gratuities.
