Free at Sea with < 21 y/o as second passenger?

[S&DMOM]

Slightly confused if my 20 y/o son will get the Soda Package if he is the 2nd passenger in the cabin with me under "FREE AT SEA" program. 

 

  Can I sign a waver for him to be able to drink alcoholic drinks?

 

Also if I want to upgrade to Premium Plus Drink Package could I do that for myself only and not have to pay any extra for him?  TIA

He will get the soda package, you can sign a waiver for him to drink beer and wine only, which won’t be free..

NCL used to have a Corks and Caps package (beer and wine) that under 21 could get with parental/guardian "on the ship" consent (with corporate approval) but I don't know what the current options are.

Since he is under 21 and will already have the soda package, you should be able to get PPBP without getting it for him.

I would at least go and sign the waiver for him.  That way, if he steals one of your drinks while you're not looking and leaves the room, he'll be good 😉

If you get the PPBP upgrade, you only have to pay for your upgrade. His will stay as the sofa package. My 18 yr old is the 2nd passenger and I only had to pay the cost of my upgrade.

On our last cruise they still had corks and caps (I think it no longer exists), but even with the signed waiver and being 2nd in the cabins my 19 and 20 year olds still got the soda package only.
