Creator's Key Takeaways

NCL has been essentially removing all the perks that drew us to this cruise line in the first place.

We booked our first family cruise in 2016 on the NCL Jewel and the value that we received with the free at sea program had value that no other cruise line could compare to.

NCL also announced that they were removing the drink package from Great Stirup Key.

NCL failed again. They stated just recently that the drink package will be honored on Great Stirup Key.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check if you are locked into a booking before NCL changes policies.
Compare drink package policies across cruise lines for private islands.
