Restaurants and bars have large drink menus, but the pre-order drink package options are limited.
As on other mass-market ships, most drinks on the Norwegian Dawn come with an extra charge, including all alcoholic drinks and sodas. There are several beverage packages available if you intend to stick heavily to one type of beverage for the trip. These include wine, beer and soda packages. Most bars and restaurants serve beer, wine, soda, and coffee but charge extra if it’s not in your package. Mixed drinks can be ordered in all bars, as well as most of the specialty restaurants, like the Teppanyaki.
The Norwegian Dawn has an extensive wine list with selections from all over the world, available at all the restaurants. If you prefer beer, the choices include Budweiser, Miller, Samuel Adams, Guinness, Heineken, and Fosters.
At Gatsby’s and Star Bar the Norwegian Dawn offers martinis and other mixed drinks. The Topsiders bar offers daiquiris, margaritas, and piña colada. These are pre-mixed with the alcohol added later, so you can order them virgin. At Moderno you can get some Brazilian mixed drinks, like caipirinha and batidas. Drinks cost between $7.50 and $10.
Norwegian offers a dining room wine package on embarkation day and you can pre-order a bottle of wine. Beer can be bought in a bucket six for the price of five. Other than that there are no booze packages.
NCL offers water and soda packages with unlimited fountain soda or water for $6.25 per person per day. Juices are also available and for breakfast Garden Café offers fresh grape, orange, and apple juice.
