Has anyone actually had beer delivered by Wellwishers?

[Kaki321]

the positive comments are good to hear. I, for one, am having a terrible time getting info from them - - complete info and in a timely manner. I have done the email and the phone route and mandie has been very hard to get a hold of, and when I do she has omitted info (prices for specific items I requested). when I send back a question on what she sends me, I have to call several times in order to get a response. In fact, I have left 3 messages since Monday with no call back. Weird

 

I am hoping they are just having a bad week

 

Gonna try again next week

never mind, she contacted me today! :)

 

beer is a good deal, compared to what you pay on the ship - and even liquor. But forget wine, it's about the same price as Carnival's per bottle, PLUS a $7 delivery charge per bottle. Just FYI

Yup just as I posted earlier in this thread it is $7 per item .. Whether you order 1 case of beer or 2.. it is $7 each case for delivery.. Enjoy!

It comes gift wrapped so noone really know what it is..

Just back from the Glory where we had beer waiting in our three staterooms upon arrival at 1:00. Yes, it is wrapped in a thin white paper, but it is very easy to figure out what is inside the package.

 

We will use the service again, even though we left some beer in the stateroom.

Just called wellwishers and they no longer deliver beer. :(

I think it was sometime last year that the cruise lines came down on ALL outside delivery services delivering beer, wine, or liquor.

 

Bottom line is that the cruise lines want you to use THEIR delivery services for these items.

 

Call Bon Voyage Dept for a list of liquors, beer, etc. that they will deliver to your cabin for your consumption onboard. The prices are higher than you'd pay locally, but you don't have to smuggle!

 

I've ordered a bottle of Crown, light rum, and dark rum for delivery by Carnival next week for some of the cabins traveling with me (I don't drink alcohol myself). I ordered the same in January, and all were delivered the day after we embarked...something about Texas Liquor Laws.

brutal, i just read through two page of this and was all excited....

[boogerman54321]

I was excited too! We already have liquor ordered from Bon Voyage,...they don't carry beer! Somewhere on the board I read that we can bring in 12 beers from each port stop without having to check it. We'll see!

flying into fort lauderdale taking carnival bus to miami, dont think the carnival bus will stop at a drivethru for us, is there anywhere to get beer at the airport:confused:

We sail in 2 weeks 6 days I hope she's back buy then and lets us know..

[Cruisin Suzin]

Actually I just phoned them and they said no to the beer delivery, she said they have just stopped that.the cruise lines have put a stop to it....wine OK but not beer or alcohol...so I'm back to sq.one..

Cheap suitcase from Goodwill - put case of beer in - if they keep it they keep it!

[Cinderose]

Dang, I just cut and pasted all the above info to an email to send to my group going in January and then I get side blasted with the bad news!!!

Well, Sounded good while it lasted!!!

[imluvncruzn]

Hi! I literally just got off the phone with Carnival Bon Voyage Dept. 1-800-522-7648. Here's the low down:

 

Vodka: Smirnoff, Stoli, Absolute $30/1 liter bottle

 

Crown Royal: $55

 

Rum: Bacardi, Capt Morgan $40

 

They do offer beer. She said Coors light is the cheapest and it is $4.01 PER CAN! OUCH... Some others, i.e., Miller, Budweiser were $5.08 per can.

 

Just thought I'd share in case anyone's interested!

this thread is from 2006, long since these folks quite delivering. In fact I heard they went bankrupt, but someone said they just called, so they must still be operating.

Wellwishers is still operating, they just can't deliver alcohol. It was Just Because of You that went out of business.

Oh sorry, you are right.

[Can'tWait2SetSail]

Hmm, I just ordered a bottle of Absolute and they charged me $40 for a litre. Are you sure they said $30?

For those flying in the night before on a cruise google liquor stores and drugstores near your hotels. We started packing a rolling duffle bag in our suitcase. We put a case of water in it and check it with the porters. We threw beer into our luggage mixed in between the clothes for cushioning. We had no trouble :) I make sure we out zip ties on our luggage to make it a little harder for them to peek inside to see what we have in there :)
