Pre cruise purchases.

[highscar]

I am trying to make a list of items to be in my cabin on embarkation day.  There is little to nothing on the beverages list on the Navigator app.  

[highscar]

As compared to previous cruises including this year.

What do you want to have in your cabin on embarkation day? 

[highscar]

Brands of alcohol that are not listed and were for years.  The only very few listed have soda included for extra cost. Do not need the sodas when have the cola package.  Very few choices. Also price for bottle last year $40.00, early this year $70.00.  What the?

We are just off the Amsterdam   A bottle of Jim Beam was $70.00.  I, too, remember $40 bottle of  scotch.  HIA is certainly marketing HIA, perhaps by discouraging the purchase of bottle liquor?

What is more pleasant than after an evening enjoying the ship than having a relaxing beverage on your veranda what hung the ocean. Oh yeah.

Sorry blip. Watching the ocean.

Ive just checked on our trip on Zaandam the cheapest bottle is over $100 for Vodka!   They don't even say whether the bottles of gin and whiskey at $120 are 1 litre or 750ml! 

[highscar]

They were usually 750 m.  Ridiculous in any port city up the street the store sells it for less than $20.00.

HAL wants you to buy the HIA package.  Seabourn will supply you with alcohol for your room at no extra cost.

Obviously Seabourn costs much more per diem than HAL though.
