[t12young]

Can you order a fifth or a liter or liquor with set ups from room service on NCL ships? If so, what does it cost? Or do they just encourage smuggling?

Curious about the title - ANOTHER booze question?

 

Thread earlier today talked about this, so, color me confused?

[LOWTYD]

Confused:)

[CRUISEMAN72]

most lines allow u to preorder like i do it saves money. when i had the misfortune of sailing on the norwegian cheap line they confiscated my booze. so be careful. some lines will not allow u to board like celebrity, if u smuggle it on board before the ship sails

I must admit, this confuses me. It sounds like, although NCL does allow you to preorder, you elected not to and then you were surprised that it was confiscated when you tried to smuggle some aboard????

[*Wink*]

I don't know what you mean by "..or do they just encourage smuggling," but I will answer your question. Yes you can order a bottle from room service and it will cost you an enormous amount. Probably the "per drink" amount or close to it.

You must be poor at your smuggling skills. ;)

NO, they don't encourage smuggling by any means. Either a bar set up or buy it by the glass on board.

[t12young]

scchasgal, are this prices per fifth or liter?

Two questions here:

#1 Does Norweigan have another fleet of ships we don't know about?

#2 Can you smuggle it on after the ship sails?

 

Don't be mad at the cruise line. They aren't the ones who broke the rules.

[t12young]

LOWTYD, why don't you go to another thread, I'm trying to ask a legit question and you are trying to start some s@@t.

[LOWTYD]

No, I am not trying to cause trouble. The poster seemed to be a little miffed about getting caught smuggling booze. The bottles are liters by the way. You wil need to bring your own mixers.

[scchasgal]

scchasgal, are this prices per fifth or liter?

 

By the liter. Ignore the snarky comments some jump on everything, grammar, spelling, questions they don't read correctly and answer same.

[t12young]

Thanks:p

[t12young]

How do you preorder? I just went to NCL's web site and I didn't see any thing. Also, can you order something not on the list. I like my Tanqueray .

[LOWTYD]

Email the ship coordinator : shipcoordinator<yourShipName>@ncl.com, You can ask, but they normally don't deviate from the list. DH like Kettle One but settled for Absolut.

[SeaShark]

Wow...quite a bit of misinformation here...

 

 

To the OP:

 

To answer your original questions:

--You cannot order full bottles of liquor from room service.

--You also cannot order mixers from room service.

 

Snarky comments about smuggling tend to get you flamed. If you want to break the rules...I'd suggest being quiet about it.

 

Now for the "good" news.

 

--Despite the whining by those who don't know the meaning of "cheap", drinks on a ship are generally priced competitively with what you would find in most urban nightclubs.l

 

--You can buy mixers/soda on shore and bring it on the ship.

 

--Small (airline) bottles of liquor will be in the mini-bar in your cabin. You will find that buying these bottles and mixing your own drinks is less expensive than buying the drinks at the bar.

 

--Prior (about 1 week at the latest) to your cruise, you can order what is called a "bar set-up". Basically you get full bottles of liquor delivered to your cabin when you arrive. While the bottle prices may seem expensive, when you look at it, they are less expensive than buying drinks at the bar.

 

You order a bar set-up from the Group Event Coordinator for your ship. I see that you are going on the Jewel. You can email the Group Event Coordinator at groupeventjewel@ncl.com. You should put the date of your sailing in the subject line of the email as they answer emails in date-of-cruise order. Note: do not use the ship coordinator address that was previously given, those are no longer valid.

 

Bottles are available in either the 750ml or the 1liter sizes. The cost will be either $60, $80, or $100 per bottle. There is also a $3 per bottle "service charge" added. When you email the Group Event Coordinator, tell them what you want, and they will reply with what is available and the exact pricing.

 

The following is a breakdown on the Bar Set Up pricing:

 

Bottle Size - 750ml - Number of Drinks per Bottle - 16.9

Bottle Size - 1liter - Number of Drinks per Bottle - 22.5

 

 

Cost per Drink Breakdown:

 

Bottle Price - $63

750ml - $3.73 1liter - $2.80

 

Bottle Price - $83

750ml - $4.91 1liter - $3.69

 

Bottle Price - $103

750ml - $6.09 1liter - $4.58

SeaShark.. You certainly CAN order bottles from room service. They'll be happy to serve you.

[garycarla]

And, by the way, based on what is posted here, you will not find this information on the NCL website.

 

Trust the information posted here by those that know.

Let's see....

 

Here is the front of the NCL Room Service Menu

 

 

 

and here is the back

 

 

As you can see from the menu...Bar Service is available. Drinks, not Bottles.

 

I mean, seriously, if you could get bottles from room service, they why would anyone bother with the bar set-up?

[*Wink*]

LOL!!! OK SeaShark.. Whatever you say. ;)

[reggiewhite]

Does Norwegian purposely make their site vague and useless. How do I find a wine list or menu anywhere.

Sorry, I'm not sure how to answer because I'm unsure of your specific issue.

 

 

However...

 

When I go to the NCL website, type "wine list" into the search box, and click on "go", the very first link in the search results takes me to the page where I can download NCL's complete wine list.

[reggiewhite]

I don't know what my problem is, I'll try again.

The list provided is to order pre-cruise. I'm not sure if this is the actual list of what's onboard.
