liquor bottle purchase

[seagoer1973]

I pre purchased a bottle of crown royal for our upcoming cruise so we can pour a drink on balcony and son will bring mixer. Are the bottles waiting in your room when you board "like carnival " or do you have to go pick them up? Also, can you order another while onboard or should we just order 2 pre cruise as it looks like they are only pints and we have always purchased liters from carnival in the past? Thanks

typically the room attendant will deliver your pre purchase after you arrive. I would like to see you order two pre cruise, as they are 375's and might not be in supply after you board.

How do you find what is available for purchase? Do you have to have an existing booking?

Ours has always been in the room when we board.  Room service delivers it before we get to the cabin. Sometimes the steward is helping them.

If you have plus or premier fares you can order drinks to your cabin(s) at any time. They are included. No need to have separate bottles in your cabin.

I get an error because I have no cruise booked. I thought previously had had pulled up a menu to check prices

 

@Skynight I am interested in this because I am considering not having Plus.

I have always had to call room service once I was in the cabin to have them bring the bottles to the room.

Thanks for the list of prices. I was looking for Johnny Walker Red. So just curious, does this only show if you have a booking to order against?

The wine and spirits tab is gone for me.  On all my bookings.  Wonder if it has anything to do with the announcement Carnival made about carnival cruises yesterday about no longer selling bottles to take to your room?

I hope not!  I just pulled them up and pasted it for the poster.  So, mine are in there.

😂 I was asking @justafem because they said they don’t see wines and spirits anymore for any of their cruises.

 

You’re too funny!

It's unfortunate that the only Scotch offered is "mixing" Scotch. The pricing seem so high compared to US store prices but is pretty much in line with Canadian store pricing. I remember a guy working in a store in Canada telling me he loved the US because it was basically a "half price liquor" country. (This didn't stop us from purchasing what was probably way too much liquor in Canada during our 7 week camping trip from Northern California to Fairbanks and back in 2917.)

Don't you come on here and tell me I'm wrong!  I was cruising long before you got out of diapers. We don't need some young whipper snapper newbie setting things straight round here. There will be a time when you bend over to tie you shoe, groaning and wincing while trying to straighten up, or need to use a magnifier while wearing glasses to read 72 size font then, and only then can you have the sought after wisdom that comes when in your sixties and fades by the time your seventy 🤣

The price is roughly 2x retail price in the US…not bad considering what they charge in the bars.  You can not expect them to sell you the liquor at retail price, alcohol is a profit center for cruise lines.

We just got off the Ruby and we pre-ordered 7 12 packs of water, 4 six packs of soft drinks (brought 2 twelve packs onboard), 3 bottles of whiskey and 3 of vodka.  Previous cruises we would find cards on the desk for each item purchased.  Not this time.  When we boarded 4 of the 7 packs of water had been delivered with a card for each one we received, but no cards for items still not received. 
 

Thankfully I had printed out in advance a list of items purchased prior to boarding.  
 

when I called room service I was told we could only have two bottles of the liquor at a time due to “safety reasons”.  Had to laugh at that as the plus package  allows you 15 alcohol drinks a day, Lol.  So I had to keep track of what I received and what I had not.  One of the bottles of whiskey I pre-ordered was crown Royal, was told onboard they were out.  Was given the option of a refund or replace with Jim Beam.  When I asked would my onboard account be refunded or my credit card directly room service didn’t seem to know how the refund would work.  For the sake of my stress level I went with the Jim Beam instead of trying to track down a refund.  
 

I was glad I pre-ordered as I never could find a way to order the small 375 bottles once on board.  With the two bottles of wine we brought onboard, the bottle gifted to us from our TA we ended up bringing two of the liquor bottles home.

I just booked a couple of bottles an hour ago for our cruise next April.

$25.96 for a 375ml bottle of Red Label?!

I paid less than that for a 1.75L bottle at Costco the other day. 😁
