Bottles of liquor from room service....

[RoperDK]

I haven't heard this one asked before, so here goes. Can you order any brand of liquor (bottle) to be delivered to your cabin or does it have to match the same brands they offer from Bon Voyage pre-ordering? My favorite brand is no longer offered for pre-ordering.

 

Thanks for your time,

They will only supply the brands that they carry on board.

Thank you Kamloops50. I know they carry my brand on the ship, they just don't have it for pre-order anymore. For instance, you can pre-order Grey Goose vodka but you can't order Ketel One. Does anyone know if I can order a bottle of Ketel One from room service when I get onboard?

 

Thanks in advance,

You should be able to order one through room service once on board. You will pay dearly for it though.

I don't know your exact answer

But the bottles thru room service is limited in variety and quantity

I have been turned down on variety

and room service has ran out later in the cruise.

I would suggest calling sooner rather than later.

Thank you for sharing this! I was wondering too.

Generally the booze available thru Room Service is what you can get thru BV... and the selection goes down as the cruise continues. I don't think RS can go to the shop and grab a bottle to deliver, regardless of the price increase... the inventory for the shops is not owned by Carnival (I think).

 

Yes you can order booze/beer/wine from RS at BV rates but it's limited in selection....

Is there a list out there of what alcohol you can order from room service. We have a lot of OBC for our next cruise and we are planning on using some of it on a bottle of Crown Royal. Thanks

Here is a link to the Bon Voyage website and the liquor prices. The prices should be the same as you would pay thru room service:

Thanks everyone! I guess there is no clear answer. I will give it a shot as soon as I get onboard and see what happens.

Hi Dawn. Did you find out if the selection and prices are different from room service? Our brand is not on the pre order list either. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this...it reminded me how ridiculous these prices are. :eek: No wonder folks use rum runners! They have crap for scotch choices, so I'll be bringing my own again...don't ask how!:rolleyes:

Personally I just pay the prices for a couple of bottles, don't get the drink package. I get "free drinks" from the casino and the bottles take care of the rest.

Under $200 for me and the wife verses the drink package and no worries about it is fine by me.

You would think Carnival wouldn't have to mark up their prices so much, but again, they do. It's a profit thing and plenty of people pay for Bon Voyage.

 

Not asking you for your *ahem* technique but what's your brand of scotch?

 

Laphroaig?

Very astute! Of course, Lagavulin 16 is preferred, but can't afford to drink that every day, so the Laphroaig 10 does the trick.:D

What other mass market cruise lines allow you to order at all?

Disney lets you carry on whatever you want.

I don't think that is true anymore. I could be wrong but I think the only allow wine now just like other cruise lines.

You can buy booze for you room on Celebrity (I have) and I think RCL and NCL does as well.

Lagavulin 16? Ha! I use that to mix with Dr. Pepper when I make drinks for the help... Kidding, only kidding. ;)

 

I was hoping you weren't going to say Famous Grouse or something like that.

HAL lets you order before sailing and their prices are almost half of Carnivals. Weird since they're all owned by same company.

[Kamloops50]

It are owned by the same company. But they are run independently. Carnival Cruise lines wants to sell more booze on board by the drink and make the money. HAL wants to make more money selling wine and they don't care really about the drinks.

HAL prices are a fraction of CCL. I paid $38 for a bottle of bourbon CCL wants $85 for.

I actually ended up drinking some of the rum that my husband pre-ordered. I received my free drink card at the casino fairly early this cruise :D so I never needed to call room service for a bottle. Sorry that I couldn't help.
