Why No Premium Coffee With Drink Packages?

$12.95 per day with unlimited coffee with a Starbucks package on NCL.

 

Or, just use your Starbucks app from home to pay cash for each of your drinks. On Royal, the 15 coffees is only 1 a day at Café Promenade (not real Starbucks).

 

If you really only want 1 premium coffee a day, then just pay retail and stop all of the fuss. $4.25 for a Café Americano the 16 days of your cruise. 

 

 

 

 

You seem to know what's going on with NCL. I just read on a NCL Sun cruise in the Med someone with the Drink Package ordered an Expresso Martini and they charged them $3.85 extra, which was for the Expresso. Have you heard about this before?

They priced many of the most popular “martini” drinks over the $15 package limit several  years ago. Espresso martini, chocolate martini, rum cake. It has very little to do with the actual cost of the ingredients and everything to do with what they think people are willing to pay on top of the package they already have. 

 

I don’t know the current price, but if it’s like $18 then you pay the $3 difference plus gratuity (plus local taxes if in or near certain ports).
