Creator's Key Takeaways

Norwegian Cruise Line is expanding its private island, Great Steerup Ki, and for good reason.

That's because NCL has announced that drink packages will no longer work on the island on that date.

This is effectively a price increase on your vacation.

I wish that NCL would rethink their move to sell island specific drink packages.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider purchasing an island-specific drinks package if you plan to drink on Great Stirrup Cay after March 1, 2026.
Be aware that complimentary drinks on the island may be of lower quality.
