Beverage Package questions...

[hmmerr01]

OK, so I don't drink much alcohol... at all.  The free beverage package... does it include specialty coffees, water and non-alcoholic drinks (virgin versions of frozen drinks)? TIA!

No coffee, no water, not sure about virgin frozen drinks but I think they are included.

Since most people get it as a perk and it only costs about $10 per day, it is worth it is you drink 2 - 3 drinks a day, and there is no limit on the number of drinks you can get unlike Princess.

Well i dont drink alcohol  it costs $277.00 for the two of us. . I drink  coffee  lattes or steamed lattes and bottles  of  water which i understand  is $4.00 per bottle.  . So i guess that makesit worth it since i don't drink . And i have to pay for medue to my wife does drink.  Hmmm

Another question on the Norwegian breakaway drink. Package is there a 20% fee charged to your room on the prepaid drink package at the end of your cruise ? So if we drink. Say. $45.00 worth of drinks  a day on the drink package  are we going. Be charged the 20% of $315.00  which is a additional $63.00 . Please enlighten me thank you 

[KarlChilders]

No, as you book you pay 20% of the price of the package you are receiving as a perk up front.  Works out to about $20 a day.  No further charges unless you order a drink that exceeds the $15 dollar limit at which point you would be charged Price-15 + 20% on the difference.

Thank you very much for the clarification on this. I do not drink alcohol but my wife does so I have to pay for a drink package that I won’t even use. I guess since we are traveling with  about 115 family members I can just by them a drink

You aren't supposed to use your package for someone else. If caught, NCL could not only void your package (no refund), they could also charge you for the drinks that you have already had with the package. It's not worth the risk.

I just find it funny. I do not drink alcohol at all but I have to buy a drink package because my wife does. I am Diabetic so  I won’t drink alcohol at all . It doesn’t include coffee drinks or water. But someone told me what a great deal it is .

You do not have to get the package, pick another perk.

[KarlChilders]

Pretty simple math.  If as a couple, her drinks and your diet sodas/virgin drinks will be less than 39.60 per day, don't take the package.  If more, take it, and you come out ahead.

[Sauer-kraut]

Drop the drinks package from your booking and book something else.   IF you are before final payment book a sail away rate and save even more money, have your wife pay per drink and still come out ahead.

I really don't get this. You have choices. You do not have to book the beverage package with its service charge. Book what works for you.
