ATSEAMYLIFE Posted December 23, 2019 #27 Share Posted December 23, 2019 This just dawned on me and maybe somebody who has been in a PH can answer it. Instead of me bringing a few bottles of wine and bottle of tequila for a little pre-dinner, while we get ready, cocktail can I have my Butler bring it? Seems I recall the Butlers had a small bar on the PH deck and would make pre-dinner cocktails for you. We will get the full beverage package and it seems I recall that included room service and I assume the Butler service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted December 24, 2019 #28 Share Posted December 24, 2019 We were in an OC on Marina when we had a small cocktail party in the suite. The butler brought all the drinks ... I am sure (although I'm no expert so take my comment for what it is -- or may not be -- worth) this would be the same for a PH. Not sure if having a package (or not) would be a factor. I wouldn't think so. In the case of our cocktail party none of us had a package, so if I'm remembering correctly we all signed chits at some point in the evening.

Rare pinotlover Posted December 24, 2019 #29 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The Butler regularly delivers us drinks to our PH. They know if you’re on the Prestige Package or not, and act accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong cruise line for that. Bribing crew to steal from the company is a great way to lose someone their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mea Culpa. Taking the two posts together, I wrongly assumed s/he was considering not getting the package if extra tipping would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as long as your drink was provided by the ship it can be taken anywhere onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted December 25, 2019 #41 Share Posted December 25, 2019 For those unfamiliar with Oceania, the wine glasses and drink glasses provided in your cabins are entirely different from those utilized in the various bars and dining venues. If you take a drink out of your cabin your actions are immediately recognizable by both the crew and fellow passengers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty! You really need to start perusing the Oceania forums. This and all your upcoming questions have been asked and answered many times. Might I suggest that you search first and ask later? You can bring as much wine and spirits as you want. Spirits can only be consumed in your cabin. Unopened wine can be brought to meals for a $25 corkage fee (gratuity included and unfinished bottle will be stored for your later use at no additional cost). One important thing: PLEASE do not pour your personal wine or spirits in a glass and then take it to dinner/public space/etc. hope by to avoid bar charges. Oceania's personal booze policy is very generous and we want to keep it that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
