canderson Posted April 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Also a 1st timer. Wondering about Irish Whiskey. Any of the older Bushmills available? Redbreast? Knappogue? Teeling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreecruise Posted April 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2023 If you have a favorite Under special request, you can ask ant they will provide a bottle or two in your suite and bill you or maybe not. You have to ask first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothko1 Posted April 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Last time I was on I saw just basic stuff: Jamesons and Bushmills. No high end Irish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to ask first... How/when is it appropriate to make the request? I know that on Celebrity, we've had contact from a shoreside concierge a few weeks before the cruise to manage things like this. How is it done on Silversea?

It used to be a minimum 90-days, pre-Covid to guarantee they could acquire the goods and have them loaded in a container on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK - we have the "when", now about the "how"? Does Silversea contact guests prior to the cruise, or is there somewhere we should send such a request? As noted, we would receive either (or both) an email / phone call from the Celebrity shoreside concierge ahead of the cruise asking about our preferences for a number of different things, including booze/wine setups in our suite.

Have your TA submit this request or email your request to specialservices@silversea.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. Will send them a couple of preferred bottles and they can pick from those if possible. Surprised that none of the bars carries a higher end Irish. We're accustomed to having a bar aboard (e.g., 'World Class Bar' on Celebrity) that usually includes brands/ages a step or so above the normal stuff. Was lucky there back on a November WB TA where you never know what they'll have left for the crossing. Apart from things that might not be readily available once at sea, is there any reason to contact them in advance about anything else, or are those things handled once aboard?

I imagine they’ll have a few high end bottles, but I thought you were looking for something that would be complimentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
