Daisy0214 Posted July 6, 2022 #26 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I can’t believe they never restocked the ship. We were on June 26 - July 3, many people were complaining. I said to someone how does the whole boat run out of vodka. Unbelievable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andychris Posted July 7, 2022 #27 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I hope they fix this supply issue or they are going to have a lot of unhappy passengers. I’m sure the gift shop has the liquor stocked for sale but you can’t have it until the last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKstages Posted July 7, 2022 #28 Share Posted July 7, 2022 if the ship's duty free shop had stock, they absolutely should have transferred (whatever was unsold) to all the bars onboard. however, it still likely would not have been enough for even one cruise, let alone two.

phillygwm Posted July 7, 2022 #29 Share Posted July 7, 2022 This is one reason I'm not going to upgrade to Premium Plus until I'm on the ship (if then.) Normally it's a no brainer for me, but if they're out of Champagne and other high end stuff, there's no point (yes, I drink sparkling water and Starbucks, but not $35/day worth.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Royal a couple weeks ago and the bartenders said that had been out of stock of some items for weeks. Always hoping that they would show up on turnaround days.

That said, I think it is great that they have such meetings for those who need/desire the support. Cruising must be tough for folks with those struggles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincycpaw Posted July 10, 2022 #33 Share Posted July 10, 2022 So I was on the 7/3 Joy cruise. Thankfully had access to the haven bar. I found that most bars had about what I wanted (except grapefruit for Paloma) through the majority of the cruise. Using mostly atrium and Maltings. Vodka disappeared the night leaving Bermuda and the day at see for the most part. But thankfully the Haven bar still had it when I ordered. However I didn’t stay at the Haven bar as it always seemed to be the same people and it was loud…nothing wrong with that just not what I was looking for. Running out of entire types of alcohol that are as basic as vodka is really surprising and disappointing. Lots of highs and lows about this cruise for me.

CrazyTrain2 Posted July 10, 2022 #34 Share Posted July 10, 2022 If you host a party and run out of food or booze (or edibles now) - you are just an ***hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkate Posted July 11, 2022 #35 Share Posted July 11, 2022 With several threads here and other forums regarding NCL running out of some alcohol, did NCL give you an onboard credit? Has anyone successfully had the gratuities paid on package refunded or partial refund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh yes because paying thousands of dollars for a cruise and not having a major incentive for going, the drink package that you PAID for, run out of stock of alcoholic drinks is unreasonable for people to be upset that a major part of their vacation is being affected. 😒 Edited July 12, 2022 by AfraidOfHeights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for a 3rd world cruise, I think Carnival keeps picking up folks traveling from Cuba in a rowboat. For me, If I pay for something, I expect to get it or be compensated. Don't upsell me packages ad nauseum and then shrug your shoulders and say "So Sorry". Feels a little fire festival to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
