warmwinds Posted July 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I've been trying to think how to make my husband's birthday on board special, and have decided to start the day with room service breakfast and mimosas. Will they deliver a chilled bottle of champagne (that we would pay for) along with breakfast? How is the pay for the wine part handled, just added to your shipboard account? Would I have to order this in advance or just hang the breakfast thing on the door the night before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted July 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Your room steward may be of some help, and you can set something up thru 'Special Occasions" http://www.celebritycruises.com/onboard-celebrity/cruise-activities-special-occasions?cS=Footer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted July 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yes they can deliver it and charge it to your shipboard account but I don't think I would just use the hang tag ordering system, talk to your room steward about the best way to go about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted July 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I've sent things through special occasions but haven't had good luck with getting them delivered on the correct day. Guest Relations may be able to help and figure out a way that it will come on the right morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmwinds Posted July 12, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'd really just prefer it delivered with breakfast. I mean, I'm sure if you got room service dinner and a bottle of wine it would all come at the same time, right? Will talk to the room steward, good idea.

Lsimon Posted July 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I would just call room service the day/night before to place the order for the champagne to be delivered in the morning with breakfast. Whatever you do, make a selection of Champagne in advance and confirm with room service, that you can order it to be delivered with breakfast and ask them the best way to arrange this. You want to make a specific selection as they have champagne and sparkling wine on board that can run from $10 for a split (if they have that size) to well over $100/bottle. All, or most, can be ordered from room service. Check out the champagnes and sparking wines that are available on the MDR wine list when you get on board. Here is a link to a wine list that is about 15 months old to give you an idea: http://lfsimon.home.comcast.net/~lfsimon/Celebrity%20MDR%20Wine%20List%20-%20Eclipse%20March%202013.pdf If you search these boards you might be able to find a more recent one. Also, if you just want a little champagne then check your mini-bar as there might be a split or a half bottle in there and the prices will be the same as from room service or elsewhere on board. If there is just a split and you want more then ask your cabin steward to put an extra in the mini bar for you. You can also ask your cabin steward to be sure to leave a couple champagne glasses and then you can just order extra OJ with your breakfast order. I'll also mention that you are allowed to bring on up to two bottles of wine, including Champagne, with you are embarkation although I realize this might complicate the surprise element of your plan. We usually devote this to Champagne for enjoyment in our cabin. Your cabin steward can be sure it is iced down and you have glasses on request. You can also fit a bottle in the mini-bar fridge to keep it cold although you might have to shuffle some items around to make room.

warmwinds Posted July 12, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted July 12, 2014 What great ideas. Yes, a full bottle might be too much and I never even thought to check the minibar (we usually avoid those things like the plague) but it might be perfect.
