Review summary

Everything was good except for the beverage package rules, Drink package is very expensive, and it should not be compulsory to buy for all adults of a cabin. I have been on other cruise and I bought only for one person. Why in this ship it is mandatory to buy for all?

Money, money, money. NCL wouldn’t put my 12 & 14 year old girls in their own room. So they needed an adult with them so since the adult wanted the drinks package we HAD to pay the service charge for them too. Cost more than the soda package!

I wish they would have a daily cheers package instead of just a weekly package. My wife and I might try one day or maybe two but buying it for a week is just not for us

To prevent sharing.

It’s not just mandatory for Carnival but other cruise lines also. Unfortunately, too many people have bought one booze package and shared it with someone else.

One word... sharing. ..based on one goal... profits. Been the way it is for years.
