Wine vending machines

[SSMcruises]

I am sure there is a fancier name for the machine that pours wine for you but let’s call it the vending machine.  You swipe your cruise card and voila, your wine is poured 

 

is this machine available under the beverage plan?  It wasn’t the last time we sailed but maybe it has changed.  

 

Thx

No, these machines are not included under the beverage plan.

NCL calls them "wine stations" in the FAQs.  They are not included in the beverage package.  https://www.ncl.com/terms/premium-beverage-package

The only wine station i saw was in the studio lounge and that was not included in the beverage package.

Cousin to the for-fee wine station is the for-fee coffee station

The Premium Plus Beverage Package DOES include the wine dispensers

The price of the Pouilly Fuisse is beyond ridiculous! I pay $25 Cad for a bottle which is less than $19 USD. At $28 USD per 5 oz glass, that's a 700% mark up.

Interesting terminology:

 

Includes "wine dispensers"

 

Does not include "vending machines"

 

So does anyone have personal experience that clarifies this?

Always a huge mark up in hotels and on cruise ships and they would pay far less than $19 a bottle too!

A lot of their drinks are ridiculously expensive if you don’t have the “free” package.
