Avril Posted October 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm sailing on the Splendor next week (so excited!!:D) and am thinking about buying a bottle of liquor for my cabin. It'd be nice to be able to mix a drink while getting ready for dinner and before bed without having to go to a bar (although I will be visiting plenty of those, trust me). I'm just wondering, how close to sailing can you buy liquor online through Bon Voyage or (if I'm already past that deadline), is it possible to buy a bottle once I'm on the ship (and how do you do that)? Thanks!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbrote Posted October 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2014 My suggestion is to give it a try. If, in fact, you are past the deadline you will not be able to place the order. I always bring my receipt's from Bon Voyage with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ya, I always bring receipts for anything and everything I buy/pre-order!! It's just the smart thing to do IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbrote Posted October 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have never bought any while aboard but believe you can. I have no idea what the price difference is or if there is none. Enjoy your Cruise !!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar1068 Posted October 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've purchased BV liquor as close as 2 days prior to sailing with no issues at all....I believe onboard you can go through Guest Services and purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!!!! :D I don't know that there is an official cutoff deadline. Either the liquor is stocked on the ship or it isn't. How you would order on the ship is through room service and it is the same price as BV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOUSFBULLS44 Posted October 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I believe I read 4 days but could wrong especially that someone said received with 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted October 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you purchase through BV and have the liquor delivered on the 1st day at sea you do not pay NYS/NYC tax. Buying from RS wait until in International waters and you save on tax.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglinc@msn.com Posted October 10, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 10, 2014 You can also order it from room service, but it is pretty expensive. But it is the same price as Bon Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travler27 Posted October 10, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Bon Voyage if you order before cruise. Room service after you board. Same price either way for the liquor. Taxes and delivery will be based on laws in the port city if you are not in international waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Geegitz Posted October 10, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 10, 2014 In port you pay roughly 8-9% tax No Tip. If you order at sea No Tax but add 18% tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRSJBINFL Posted October 12, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2014 In the past I have waited until the night before to purchase Bon Voyage. It made it to the room just fine. We got two bottles delivered to the room and brought on our own mixers - was perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbaltees Posted October 12, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 12, 2014 In port you pay roughly 8-9% tax No Tip. If you order at sea No Tax but add 18% tip. Wow? Never thought of it this way. Wow!!!

douglinc@msn.com Posted October 12, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Has anyone checked liquor prices from Bon Voyage?? Last Oct. when we were on the Magic I think we paid $68 for a bottle of Canadian Club. I can't find it listed now and a bottle of Jack Daniels or Seagram 7 & is now $80..
