Norwegian Cruise Line's New Alcohol Policy
Guests May Bring Bottles of Wine and Champagne on Board
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced a new alcohol policy that will allow guests to bring their own bottles of wine and champagne on board. The policy, which will go into effect on October 1, 2023, is a major change from the cruise line's previous policy, which prohibited guests from bringing any alcohol on board.
Under the new policy, guests will be allowed to bring up to two bottles of wine or champagne per stateroom. The bottles must be unopened and in their original packaging. Guests will be able to bring their bottles on board at the beginning of their cruise and store them in their stateroom. The bottles will then be available for consumption throughout the cruise.
Restrictions
There are some restrictions on the types of wine and champagne that guests can bring on board. The bottles must be 750 ml or less in size. Additionally, guests are not allowed to bring any hard alcohol on board.
If guests choose to consume their own wine or champagne in the dining rooms or public areas of the ship, they will be charged a corkage fee. The corkage fee is $15 per bottle.
Conclusion
NCL's new alcohol policy is a significant change from the cruise line's previous policy. The new policy will allow guests to enjoy their own wine and champagne on board, while still providing the cruise line with a way to generate revenue through corkage fees. The policy is likely to be popular with guests, as it will give them more flexibility and choice when it comes to alcohol consumption on their cruise.
