Suede Posted March 3, 2006 #26 Share Posted March 3, 2006 What happens if your room assignment changes after you order and you don't know it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg20 Posted March 3, 2006 #27 Share Posted March 3, 2006 What happens if your room assignment changes after you order and you don't know it? I'm sure they will track you by name to verify exactly what cabin you're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriSyss Posted March 3, 2006 #28 Share Posted March 3, 2006 We had a bottle of wine sent to our room by well-wishers and there was no problem whatsoever. It was waiting for us, chilled, when we first unlocked that cabin door ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andros Posted March 3, 2006 #29 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I ordered a liter of rum last year and it was waiting for me when I arrived to our stateroom. A little pricey but, I didn't have to worry about it at all. I was so excited about our oceanview stateroom, that I didn't even notice the bottle sitting on the dressing area table/desk:eek: ! It was wrapped in celephane with a beautiful rose and card attached. We departed from Barcelona and I carried on my mixers. Our stateroom attendant brought us as much ice as we wanted. So, having a ice cold drink was not a problem. I will definately call them again if needed/wanted. Hope this helps, Andros/Tony;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dck12ga Posted March 3, 2006 #30 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Is there ice machines on each floor to refill your cooler? Or do you have to depend on your room steward?:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msolberg Posted March 3, 2006 Author #31 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I've never seen an ice machine, you have to rely on the steward. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted March 3, 2006 #32 Share Posted March 3, 2006 The ice machines are around and I have heard of passengers "helping" themselves, but we rely on the steward also. It didn't occur to me to order some Gin and mixers from Wellwishers. We always order from the ship. I wonder if WW prices are better? I am not sure I spoke with, but I told the lady that there are two threads about them on CC. She seemed thrilled! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missey81 Posted March 4, 2006 #35 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I called them today and asked about beer, they said yes and that Carnival does not have a problem with this. I will save about 36.00 per case. About 1.60 per beer. this is worth it for us! We are going out of Miami. I think this would be easier than smuggling it on board. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msolberg Posted March 8, 2006 Author #36 Share Posted March 8, 2006 We ordered two cases of bud light - total cost was $124.00 - We are traveling with 6 of our good friends so hopefully the beer will last more than one day. :D Will post upon return to let everyone know the outcome. :) Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugobon Posted March 8, 2006 #37 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Monday morning I called WW and ordered a case of coors light and a couple bottles of liquor and said to *&^^ with it, its expensive. We leave Monday Mar. 13th so I will let you all know how it goes with WW upon my return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaki321 Posted March 8, 2006 #38 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I guess the trick is to pick up the phone and call them huh? I emailed them 2 days ago about a special request and heard nothing back yet :mad: I will call. Glad it's working out for everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugobon Posted March 8, 2006 #39 Share Posted March 8, 2006 The good news is you have up to a week before departure to order stuff. You may want to hold off since you have plenty of time before your cruise and see what type experiences others have with them. I know I used them so I can let you know how it went for me. I cruise Mar. 13th. There were other places cheaper but I felt more comfortable with WW. So we'll see how it goes for us next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erinl Posted March 8, 2006 #40 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Some deliveries in Texas. Check out the website. Yes, beer is a special request. The kids drink what we drink...Coors Light. BTW - The kids are 25 and 21 year old girls...both legal. We feel safer knowing where their drinks are coming from. They have been instructed not to buy or accept any drinks while on board unless they come from us. ;) You know, you do bring up a good point! Anyone that has access to a credit card can order beer or wine. This could get out of hand if underage "kids" get wind. Hmmmmmm To get beer delivered you have to call the 800 number? How far in advance should you do it? THanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugobon Posted March 8, 2006 #41 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Yes to get anything not listed on their website you have to call, particularly for liquor or beer. And its that way for majority of bon voyage type places. The lady I spoke with who was super nice, told me to call at least a week before departure. I'm sure there are exceptions but to be safe try to order at least 7 days in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruznKel Posted March 13, 2006 #42 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Well we are back... well kinda still in Miami... WW's delivered my 48beers they arrived to the cabin at 3pm.. all wrapped up nice and pretty with a bow.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RvrCrzr Posted March 13, 2006 #43 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Cost? Domestic? (if you don't mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhc Posted March 13, 2006 #44 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I spoke to them and they do deliver to carnival. don't tell, don't ask policy. $55 domestic and $65 imported a case. It comes gift wrapped so noone really know what it is.. Sounds like you can get imported for 2.70 a beer. It like a bogo if you were going to pay ship price. Full refund if it does not get delivered.

coolestwife Posted March 13, 2006 #45 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Here is a copy of the e-mails I received from Wellwishers: You are very welcome. If you do not know your cabin number, we will deliver via the reservation number. We take the items to the actual ship and we then pay the ship personnel to sign a delivery confirmation and to take it to the cabin of the guest.Please let me know if I can assist you any further. Have a wonderful day!

How exactly does this get delivered to the correct cabin? If someone has booked a “guaranteed” cabin, sometimes the cabin is not assigned until check-in…just curious… Thanks again!

We are sailing out of Miami in May of ’06 as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. If so, can you tell me what kind and the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelz66 Posted March 16, 2006 #46 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Cool!!! I can get my Captain Morgan's Parrot bay pineapple rum delivered instead of shlepping it in my luggage all the way from home!!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonz Posted March 16, 2006 #48 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I can understand the beer delivery, because who wants to try to put a case of beer in their luggage, but liquor? Is it really worth the outrageous premium you are paying not to have to put a bottle in a large ziploc with a couple towels around it in your luggage? Just think about how many of the fun-fruity-souveneir-glass drinks you could have for the difference in cost! Oh well, to each their own, or however that saying goes. Have fun everyone! That's what is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what is important. I agree although I think for some folks spending top dollar on drinks is not an issue and some just by their nature adhere to all the rules. I plan on having a case of beer delivered to my cabin as well as wine in carry-ons and liquor in checked luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugobon Posted March 20, 2006 #50 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Just back today at work from our cruise. Our case of beer and two bottles of liquor were in our room wrapped up all pretty and ready to be consumed. I will certainly use Well Wishers again and I highly recommend them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
