Krickett Posted September 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I trying to send a gift basket to friends going on a Cruise. Anyone have the name of a company in Miamai that would do this?:) I wasn't overly excited about the ones offered by the cruise line. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RvrCrzr Posted September 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2005 If you are interested in having beer, alcohol, soda, gift baskets, or flowers delivered to your cabin by an outside vendor, here is some info: "Just Because...of You, Inc" is a delivery service I have used to have beer and flowers delivered right to our cabin on our last 2 cruises. 1- 800-882-9707 Not sure which ports they deliver from...but I've used them at Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. They have an agreement with the cruise lines so you don't have to smuggle. :) Stress free cruising! They used to have a website...but hackers brought it to an end. Cheers.

direfun2000 Posted September 22, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I spoke with a different delivery company, said Princess will no longer allow them to deliver beer......:( but they can still do wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserforlife Posted September 22, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Do they do anything besides wine? My partner is a wine drinker, I am not. Are their prices reasonable?? If memory serves me correctly,I had them deliver a mixed case of Meridan wines (Chardonnay/Cabernet Sauvignon),a case of Michelob beer (12pack) and a case of water (24/16oz bottles) for $248. I didn't think that was bad at all and like I said,I didn't have to haul it through airports or worry about breakage. I'll do it again without reservation.

LeaninLeeward Posted September 22, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2005 CFL and others- I have had a hard time reaching JBY for weeks. I thought they were out of business, and posted on several forums last week about it. WELL, they are still in business and are moving-the phones have not caught up with them yet. So no answers, fax beeps, messaging loops with no answering message is the norm. Be persistent as I found out today. They are there! And will be tomorrow at 9AM (Friday). Hope it helps.

LeaninLeeward Posted September 23, 2005 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Ok update 1: Just got ahold of Shelly @JBYG in FLL they are going to call me back in ten minutes with a quote for Sodas,H2O, and two older teen gifts (mini backpacks w/candy and stuft animals) and other stuff. let you know...

LeaninLeeward Posted September 23, 2005 #12 Share Posted September 23, 2005 2nd update- Ok less than 10 minutes!:D They are moving from Miami to FLL. Bigger space, office is better, more efficient. Still moving boxes etc. But the doors are open! 800-882-9707. Note: there is a $8 charge by Princess for each large delivery package. So a Case of water incurs an $8 charge as well as a delivery of a gift of toys would. Shelly gave me the quotes for 3 cases of beverages as well as the customized kids gifts (from step dad who can't go with us) approx $150. We don't drink Coke so Pepsi was a necessity for happy kids!:D (Spoilt? why yes, they are lol) It still is significantly less than onboard, though to be honest we ALSO buy them soda cards! I stay hydrated in my own way;) . Very happy to use this service! ndjollymon- you may want to try http://www.wellwishers.com/ and ask for Stephanie. I called them 3 days ago and asked for a quote and she has not replied back even tho I left another message. So good luck. They do deliver at Los Angeles. Supposed to be a good company according to other posters. Thank you so much CFL. and I do read Live from the sun daily LOL :D LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
