Norwegian Encore - Premium Beverage Plus - Water in HAven?

[alpineapa]

We will be staying in the Haven. We received the premium beverage package as part of the booking, however we noticed an offer to upgrade to the + package. We don’t tend to drink high end stuff however the bottled water, starbucks and energy drinks would be really nice.

 

Is there free bottle water/energy drinks in the Haven? (If so, we wouldn’t upgrade and just grab waters from there).

 

Can someone confirm the “plus” includes starbucks on the encore?

 

thanks all!

You get one bottle of water in the Haven. Free water, bottles of booze, and soft drinks are only provided in the Owner’s Suites (not the regular Haven rooms). You can buy a whole heck of a lot of water and Starbucks for the cost of the upgrade to the Plus package. Normally not worth the cost.

I went to upgrade yesterday, but the onboard spend doesn’t allow you too online, I am awaiting TA to come back.

It's showing up online for us as an upgrade offer. $29 per person per day. Let's say 4-5 bottles of water per day, 1-2 starbucks, 1 energy drink....and maybe 1 premium beverage package, I can likely get there....is everything covered at starbucks (i.e. frappuchinos, etc. or just coffee)?

 

What I meant by water in the Haven, I meant the Haven bar/lounge......will they give out free water bottles or they will only if I have the plus package?

 

thanks everyone!

No, the haven bar does not give out bottled water for free. 

 

Here's what's included from the NCL website:

Make sure you read the fine print at the bottom of the page. ( you may need to copy and paste the link.

No free bottles of water at Haven bar with regular package.

Unless you drink several Starbucks coffees a day, the upgraded beverage package is not worth it.  If you drink only top shelf and have 4 specialty coffees every day then go for it.

oddly enough, unless things have changed dramatically, you can always get a couple of bottles of water inthe casino. or for a small price you can order a case of water to your cabin prior to the cruise.

You can ask your butler to keep a pitcher of ice water daily in your fridge.  It isn’t bottled water, but still tastes good.  And yes, as long as you sign up for a card at the casino, you can get bottled water when you are playing.  They are the very small bottles not like the bottles you can buy for the room, but still good, and free.

Water in the casino is not free unless you are a Pearl tier or above. 
 

A case of water is $44.95 (usually plus 20% tip).

while i will concede to  your expertise since you have over 20,000 posts, i have under 400, but when im in the casino, and just prior to leaving, i ask the bartender for a couple of bottles of water, and have never been asked my tier category. after a couple of days, of tipping him/her an extra $5.00, it becomes no problem at all.

 where i come from, it's called the vegas handshake, and so far it has never failed me. most places world wide "si habla $20 bill, or the euro equivalent .

 

although it's completely irrelevant, we are platinum +
