What about alcohol consumption and wine corkage?

On itineraries that include ports of call in the U.S., Canada or China, guests must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol. Within the Open Bar (either chosen as part of Free at Sea or purchased separately) alcoholic beverages are only included for guests 21 years of age and older in these destinations. On all other cruises this regulation applies to guests aged 18 years and above with the exception of guests who are U.S., Canadian and Chinese nationals. On cruises that include ports of call in the U.S., Canada or China and with the exception of Alaska and Hawai`i itineraries, NCL permits young adults between 18 and 20 years of age to purchase and personally consume wine and beer only whilst on board and with the consent of an accompanying parent. Authorisation will be given only when the accompanying parent completes the Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver form. This form can be obtained and completed at the Guest Services Desk on embarkation.

China/Asia:
Do not serve or sell alcohol to guests under 21 years of age. Parental consent is NOT permitted for guests 18 to 20 whilst in China/ Asia waters.

Australia/New Zealand:
Do not serve or sell alcohol to guests under 21 years of age. Parental consent is required for guests 18 to 20 to serve or sell only beer and wine whilst in international waters.

All guests are prohibited from bringing alcohol on board our ships with the exception of champagne and wine. If you purchase any alcohol at one of our ports of call or in our onboard shops, we will safely store your purchase(s) and on the final night of the cruise it will be available for pickup in a designated area. Please note that for wine and champagne brought on board by you, a corkage fee will apply if consumed on board.

NCL encourages the responsible use of alcohol and accordingly reserves the right to permanently or temporarily revoke the drinking privileges of any guest who violates NCL's Guest Code of Conduct or who is deemed a danger to himself, herself or others by vessel management. Continued abuse of alcohol whilst sailing and/or violation of NCL's alcohol policy may result in immediate disembarkation.
