pboxfun Posted October 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Does anyone have the current liquor selection sheet for the garden villas? I'm going on the jewel in January and would like to see what our options are. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitzel Posted October 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Have you gotten a letter from your pre-cruise concierge? If so, contact him or her and ask them to provide you with the list. You should be able to preorder through them. The "bottle service" list is a pretty good gauge of what is available. If you wait until you board to make your ur selections, don't be afraid to ask your butler about possible substitutions if you want something that is not on the list. When we stayed in a DOS, we subbed Capt Morgan and Malibu without an additional up charge, even though they were not on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I know I won't be getting the letter anytime soon. Thanks for the tips! Captain Morgan is one of my favorites as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leavethekidswithmom Posted October 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Also Bacardi Superior, the pre cruise concierge never passed the order through but our butler had us stocked up in five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cml4958 Posted October 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've got the list from September at home and can post it when I get off work. I was able to add Grand Marnier so I believe there is some substitution allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted October 5, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I was able to add Grand Marnier so I believe there is some substitution allowed. In April 2014 on Dawn they were insisting on charging us $40 per bottle just to switch Bacardi Superior to Bacardi Oakheart that is also their very much used well rum and exactly the same price. I only got the switch done by complaining to the concierge and HD. Edited October 5, 2015 by Demonyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubaru Posted October 6, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I agree about the possibility of upgrading after boarding; your chances are better for not being charged. The choices are well type stuff. Have you gotten a letter from your pre-cruise concierge? If so, contact him or her and ask them to provide you with the list. You should be able to preorder through them. The "bottle service" list is a pretty good gauge of what is available.

Rare cml4958 Posted October 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 8, 2015 A couple of days late but here's the full list copied from the letter... Please choose 6 bottles from the list below. Liquor Beefeater Gin Grant’s Blended Scotch Whiskey Smirnoff Vodka Jim Beam Bourbon Seagram’s 7 Crown Bacardi Superior Rum Cazadores Blanco Tequila Dry White Vermouth Sweet Red Vermouth Harvey’s Bristol Cream Sherry Sandeman Reserve Port Jameson Irish Whiskey Kahlua North & South by Norwegian, Sauvignon Blanc, California North & South by Norwegian, Red Blend, California Sodas Pepsi Diet Pepsi Sierra Mist Soda Orange Soda Tonic Water Ginger Ale Club Soda As I said previously, I only picked 5 from the list and then asked about the Grand Marnier or other similar orange flavored liqueur. We also received margarita mix, sweet & sour mixer, and bloody mary mixer. We asked for a blender and it was provided along with a cooler full of ice that was restocked daily.

soxfan2013 Posted June 13, 2016 #16 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'd like to end up with 2 bottles of Macallan, one Patron or other Anejo tequilla, and a bottle of Gray Goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, given my expressed preference above, do people think I should try to ore-order as indicated above, or just order 6 bottles of whatever is most expensive and then trade on board. Also, who is the person to best undertake this "trade" on board: the butler or the concierge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto2girls Posted June 13, 2016 #20 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Don't forget to ask the Butler for a blender and mixers when you get on board. We really enjoy making Pina Coladas and Daiquiris. There is always a big bucket of ice at our bar. Great for making smoothies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cml4958 Posted June 13, 2016 #21 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Your luck may vary with pre-cruise concierge. If your request wasn't filled prior to boarding, your butler will provide you with the list of items that can be provided and would also bring those items to your suite.

So leave the list blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteCruiser Posted June 13, 2016 #23 Share Posted June 13, 2016 We were able to swap the Kahlua for Baileys on this past GV trip, but had to pay an upcharge a few years ago. However, ordered orange vodka and had to pay the upcharge on it, so not sure if they're more likely to switch one bottle out than several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted June 13, 2016 #24 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'd like to end up with 2 bottles of Macallan, one Patron or other Anejo tequilla, and a bottle of Gray Goose. Good luck with that!! Several years ago they were very good about switching out different booze. That ended quite some time ago. Very small changes (cost wise) might go through. Serious up charge items like your listing are very unlikely. They want to charge for most small changes. Example, I wanted to move from Smirnoff to Grey Goose, they wanted a $40 per bottle up charge. For what you're asking I would guess anywhere from $40-80 per bottle and pre concierge certainly won't do it, it will need to be on board. Let us know how you make out.
