Taking a cruise out of Galveston and was considering buying the on board ultimate drink package. Anyone ever bought this? Is it worth the price? How is Norwegian in general. This will be my first cruise on them.

Better than Carnival

Drinks are about $6/beer, $10/ mixed drink on board. Figure out for yourself if you'd drink enough to be worth it.

What ship is this one?

Norwegian is decent in my opinion. Not great, but a step above Carnival IMO. Always snuck my booze in or just bought the frozen drinks, so no help on the beverage plan.

Norwegian upcharges for everything. If you don't plan on eating the buffet every night, be prepared to pay for your dinners.

Are you sure the cruise is out of Galveston? I read that Norwegian is sailing out of Houston.

If you plan on drinking soda do it. If you don't drink soda just go with what's there. Norwegian was great when we went. Hit up their daily drink specials.

Their dinning room food is subpar the first night to encourage you to eat at their signature restaurants. They have "Free style dinning," but you will likely wait for a table during peak hours. However, they do offer the option of sharing a table with other guests to have you seated faster. The food is always good in the buffet if you don't mind eating amongst buffalo.

Overall I have had great experiences with Norwegian. Be sure to tip the poolside wait staff really well the first day. They often also work the shows and other events, and will remember you very quickly.

I brought a few bottles of water filled with vodka in my carry on bag but it wasn't a Norwegian cruise.
