FLAHAM Posted November 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2019 No, up to the point the server believes you are inebriated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted November 25, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) No limit on drinks per day and you can order two drinks at a time. Fountain soda is included in the package. Canned soda is not. Edited November 25, 2019 by JamieLogical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted November 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Yes there is a max # (it's a pretty high # like 11 or something) but they can & will cut you off if you are obviously & visibly intoxicated. It's a generous standard. I have seen many passengers who should have been cut off earlier. 😱 Edited November 25, 2019 by trish1c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've definitely had over 11 drinks on a sea day and 1) wasn't cut off and 2) wasn't wasted since I drank them over a 12 hour period. Also 11 isn't that high - Carnival's max on their drink package is 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will, however, cut you off if you are visibly intoxicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greek Boss Posted November 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 25, 2019 NCL is one of the few cruise lines that have no select limit. I was just on the Breakaway at the beginning of this month and had well over 11 drinks each day. You can order 2 at a time. I will say however that while they still made me 2 drinks at a time, they would occasionally make a face here and there when they saw me giving the 2nd drink to another passenger on our reservation who didn't have the drink package.

That's definitely an unwise practice. NCL can and has revoked people's drink packages and charged them for all drinks ordered for doing that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called stealing and a great way to get your drink package revoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, if I were doing it for every drink I would agree with you. I believe 1-2 drinks every few days is okay... I lived to tell the tale 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if I ever run into you on a cruise where you can't afford to buy a drink package anymore, I'll make sure to send a drink or two your way.

Of course being "visibly intoxicated" is up for interpretation - by the bartender who has to decide whether or not to cut them off. If they are served, and someone gets hurt (either the drunk or someone else due to the drunk's actions), the bartender who served them will be held responsible - at least to some degree - depending on the situation.
