Booz on the Cruise! :o)~

[wrt]

Ok so let me get this straight! If I order booz now from the web page the "gift" section to be sent to my room I have to wait the following day, before they will deliver it. But...if I order it about an hour or two after we sail they will deliver that day? After reading all the Q&A this is what I have come up with. Or am I reading this all wrong!

[xbatt8]

No. In Texas you have to wait to get your delivery, but that is also true if you order from room service. If you order from the Funshops, your bottle will be in your cabin waiting for you.

I'm sorry for being a lil slow on this subject, I am sure there is a reason for their madness! Like keeping with the law!! But were exactly do I order the booze to get it in my cabin waiting on me? I can't order it on Texas soil, I cant order room service to get it that day? Do I call fun shops from my cabin to order for my room? I don't mind ordering it and getting it a day later. I'm not a raging alcoholic:cool:, I don't have it right away!! I have read other boards where folks got their waiting in their rooms when they got there. And I want to know what they did to get it there!!! BTW thanks for the response!;)

It depends on your departure port. Galveston, Mobile, and I think New York are the only ports that have the liquor laws in place that will not allow you to get the alcohol or CHEERS the first day. From any other port, it should be in your cabin waiting on you.

If you are traveling from the ports listed in the previous post I don't know of anything you can do to have it waiting for you short of smuggling or sailing from a different port. The "madness" is not Carnivals, it's the laws. The Fun shops on board do not deliver alcohol to your cabin. The liquor they sell has to be picked up on the morning you return to port.

Well ok then...thank you all for your response ...

 

Pyrate13 - I under stand the law is the reason for the rules. I think I mentioned that in my post! And have you ever heard "there is a method to my madness" its just a expression! ;) Thank you for the clarification though!

[Pyrate13]

I never said you were implying it was Carnivals, just indicating the madness in the law.

You order it online and if allowed at the port you are leaving from it will be in your room waiting for you.

The good news is there are fourteen bars on board and you can get drinks. Sadly just not the room. I'm sailing out of NYC and have the same problem. However I'm still intending to have a blast. Have a great cruise.

Not sure what the right answer is but I would order it online and bring my own bottle also. In that case you will have a bottle on the first day.

You do know that is not allow, right? If so, Best of luck with your smuggling. I have heard Carnival has really been cracking down. If they find it, even if it is a sealed bottle, you will not get it back. It is confiscated with compensation. Not like the old days that it was held until debark.

I too thought it was not allowed but I called Carnival directly on Monday and spoke with an agent who told me each adult over 18 is allowed one bottle of alcohol and 12 cans of soda. I hung up and called again and the other representative told me the same thing.

Perhaps the Rep you talked to meant wine because wine IS alcohol but they should have specified wine IMO. I do not know of a mass market cruise line that will allow you to bring your own bottle of liquor onboard. If you show up with a bottle of liquor expecting to board the ship, it will be taken.

One bottle of wine or champagne but not liquor.

Yes I know it is not allowed! ;)I'm not going to do that! I'm to old for that mess! If I cant afford my drinks or my bottles on the boat then I don't need to be going on a dang cruise!! :D

It's been about 2 years so it may have changed, but on our Disney cruise we bought rum in Grand Cayman. When we boarded the ship we put it in its labeled box on the conveyer for scanning, when we passed through the metal detectors it was handed back to us to take with us to our cabin.

Disney used to allow you to bring liquor but I believe they may have changed.

Its hard for me to consider Disney as "mass market". :) Their pricing and very limited number of ships put them out of that market IMHO. Im about 100% positive they did changed their policy last year though.

Well, the food was on par with the finest Ponderosa I've ever seen. I did enjoy the stage shows but they were no better than the shows we see downtown at the hockey arena. The pool was the size of a tea cup and There was a water slide. It was a bit more expensive, but I've heard many on here talk about higher tabs on other lines. I'd say it was a mass market line.

 

They may have changed there policy, I honestly haven't checked, I don't plan to ever use them again, I've been there before.
