Texaslandshark Posted April 15, 2010 #26 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hey Big Spender, I was just talking about buying a shot, not the whole bottle. But if you can take it with you on the first day of the cruise, I'll go in halves with you:) Haha. Well I had a couple of friends who bought the box on a Carnival Cruise and it was like $250 or something. It was for her dad...they just drank about $800. of beer themselves. I'm thinking about a liter of Crown from Bon Voyage and do some Long Islands from the bar. Happy drinking:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuchio24 Posted April 15, 2010 #27 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Don't forget the matching cravat. Thats it! Cravat and cummerbund for formal night! I purchased a cummerbund for god knows what reason and my wife has banned me from wearing it. The fact that I wanted to wear a knife or dueling pistol in it may have had bearing on her feelings....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy drinking:) I like to have a few pops like any other guy. But I am really amazed how much some people drink on cruises and vacations in general. From dawn til dusk, sometimes easily $100 per person per day? I guess my days of enjoying and/or justifying that level of drunkeness passed me by after college. Like you said, a bottle of nice gin from BV, a few beers from the bar and maybe wine at dinner and I'm good. I'd like to remember at least a portion of the cruise.

big_duck Posted April 15, 2010 #29 Share Posted April 15, 2010 If you get caught smuggling Captain Morgan they make you stand on one leg the entire cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesmiths Posted April 15, 2010 #30 Share Posted April 15, 2010 We just got off the Valor 4/11:( I was thinking of packing some Capt.. I opted to order 3 bottles (1 liter Bottles) from the Bon Voyage for $40.00 each...... I packed in a duffle 3 - 12 packs of cokes and a case of water and checked that. I'm usually 2 drinks to 1 can of coke....I bought 3 cans additional from the ship.... So thats 78 drinks for the week :D Figure 78 x $6.00 = $468.00 If bought at the bars. My total Costs $120.00 Rum 3 - 12 packs $12.00 3 cans $7.00 total $139.00 Savings of $329.00:D:D This does not include my brother in law 2 cabins down who ordered 3 bottles as well... but he bought his coke from the ship:eek: You may have seen this pic in the last few days.... This is the 1st of the day at 08:00, on the way to Roatan, I'm on vaca and I was not a stumbling, bumbling drunk like many are thinking... We did have 2 other cabins with people in them as well + our neighbors had a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfulcher Posted April 15, 2010 #32 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I was shocked when I saw a shot of JW Blue for $15 dollars a shot. Expensive, yes, but for a retail $200+ bottle that's really not bad..... I'll buy blue for $15 - it's regularly $20-30 around my area. That's the only bargain other than fosters out of all of that menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjoku Posted April 15, 2010 #33 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have no opinion on the 'to smuggle or not to smuggle' debate. Personally I would be embarrassed if I got caught. I just called the Bon Voyage department. . .800-522-7648 And ordered a liter of Captain Morgan for $42 total. We are going to take on the maximum 12 bottles of soda each and make our own Captain & Cokes. I dont need to pay a tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxlover Posted April 15, 2010 #34 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I may get flamed here, but I don't think the drink prices are that bad. :o they are chicago prices for sure. not as bad as some of the crazy 'trendy' type places. although i prefer dive bars ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candigirl41 Posted April 15, 2010 #35 Share Posted April 15, 2010 This really has nothing to do with the post, but when I read the headline, I actually thought you were asking about a ship captain named Morgan Drinker :D Maybe I need a nap! No, you just need a drink! Candi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
