We had it on our 2019 POA cruise and yes alcohol is included.  Honestly, if you're on the fence about the bev package, I wouldn't get it.  We are pretty big cruise drinkers and we were off the ship so much/so busy, we definitely did not get our money's worth and ended up using it mostly for bottled water to take on excursions.

At $20/day, you can break even pretty fast with just a few bottled water, a cup or 2 of specialty coffees at breakfast in the MDR, and a few sodas.  I'd get it so I can enjoy my vacation instead of constantly being reminded to keep the bar tab in check.  But that's just me.

Getting excited about our upcoming POA Hawaii Cruise the end of September. It's been a long time coming. I've managed to confuse myself while scrolling thru our reservation on my phone on the NCL website.

 

So I'm looking at the things they are still trying to sell me such as Hawaiian beverage package, dining package, shore excursions, internet etc . 

 

I know when I booked this I included the choose all four that were available (beverage package short excursions internet and dining). So wondering why they're trying to get me to spend $831 each on the Hawaii beverage package when it's already included in my reservation...

 

So I click on the terms and conditions and was reading about the beverage package and then I see where it says  excluding Hawaii pride of America cruises and for that you have to go down to another section and read what's included and it's still clear as mud to me.. Do they separate it from the regular beverage package because of the additional taxes they add because it's in the us and possibility of limiting drinks per day due to Hawaii regulations? It almost seems like they're not including alcohol because they don't specifically say the alcohol like they do under the other beverage package description. 

 

Excited and Counting down but still confused.. has anybody had any experience with this? Have you gotten all the alcoholic drinks you wanted (of course within the $15 limit)?  Thanks 😊🌴🍍🍹
