Kahhli Posted March 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi I am going on the Majesty in April. I have read on the boards that people use well wishers to have beer/soda delivered to their cabins. Because we are flying in , I dont want the hassle of trying to purchase those items and then "hiding" them in my luggage. I have seen many folks here talk about Well Wishers.com and I did contact them. They quoted me a price of 55.00 plus 7 delivery on a case of Miller Lite and 45.00 plus 7 delivery for a case of coke. It breaks down to 2.58 per beer and 2.16 per coke. I am wondering what the actual cost of those items would be on the ship and is it worth it to have this delivered. Not sure if this is a bargin or not. Thanks Kahhli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaritaPlease Posted March 16, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Miller Lite is about $3.50 on board. You can get a bucket of 6 for the price of 5 at the pool bars. It's cold. People carry it to your chair for you. Why bother doing anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahhli Posted March 16, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Ahhh couldnt agree more ! Thanks for the info ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAS21 Posted March 16, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2006 If I remember right, cokes were only $1.53 with 15% gratuity already added on. I wouldn't go thru the extra trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nliedel Posted March 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I pay extra for cute waiters with a big smile to bring me cold drinks. I think that everyone should :) (You just know my husband is going to log on today and read this post don't you? hehe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Daydreamin Posted March 16, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I pay extra for cute waiters with a big smile to bring me cold drinks. I think that everyone should :) That might work for you....I feel rather uncomfortable paying extra for cute waiters....now a waitress....:rolleyes: Actually, anyone I have fun with, I enjoy tipping them extra. I appreciate the extra mile for humor, jest, and attention. I think that is truly what each of us really enjoys. :D Then again...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the extra mile for humor, jest, and attention. I think that is truly what each of us really enjoys. :D Then again...... What I meant by it was rather than dragging it all onboard with me there is a real appeal to not having to haul my hiney out of a chair and schlepping back down to the cabin for a cold drink when some smiling man in a nice outfit can bring it to me for less than a buck or so more. Worth the extra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Daydreamin Posted March 16, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2006 nliedel Just having some good mid-day humor listening to Club Trini and playing on the boards. I understand COMPLETELY!!!! Someone please SERVE ME! One of the reasons, I enjoy cruises so much is that people are there to take care of me for seven days out of 365 days.

Nliedel Posted March 16, 2006 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Right with ya there Havana. I get tired of being the head waitress, cook, daycare center director and teacher, cleaning lady, director of discipline and chief concubine for my dh (not that I am complaining mind you, especially about the last one). On a cruise I only have one role to play and that's being me for 7 days. Ok the last one is there unless I am on a cruise with my friends, which has it's appeal too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Daydreamin Posted March 16, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Nliedel.....that is HILARIOUS!!!!!! Try being on call 24/7 unless you are out of the country on a cruise!!!!! I understand everything except the concubine stuff........what the heck is that? Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Daydreamin Posted March 16, 2006 #11 Share Posted March 16, 2006 ahhhhh....should have used the old Webster's to begin with...... Actually, you shouldn't consider yourself the concubine....In my undertstanding that is someone who stands in as the second. I don't think your DH would appreciate that!

I understand everything except the concubine stuff........what the heck is that? Best Regards Well I am not number two but it was the closest word to explain the position. :) My husband was informed a few years ago that he is to wear his pager 24/7 unless out of the coutry. Which is why we cruise. I make him leave it at home (he could be paged in ports but I won't let him have it). I hate that darn thing. I would gladly take a hammer to it but his job pays the bills so I can't.. grrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Daydreamin Posted March 16, 2006 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Nliedel I was just fooling around...I know very well what the aforementioned topic is as I am a student of the Holy Scriptures....actually serving for 22 years in the ordained ministry. Sometimes, I just like to see what people will respond with. I also do this with people close around me. Thanks for your fun! Maybe someday we will cross paths on a ship! BTW...I REFUSE to wear a pager and have even been considering changing my cell phone number....that crazy thing is my convenience NOT everyone elses. Well, we get off topic.....the cost of a beer....WHO CARES!!!!!! I would gladly pay for the pleasure of someone to bring me a fresh one. Actually, I train my waiters to watch for my card...they don't bother asking after the first day if my card is not out....when it is out...I am THIRSTY! :) Bring me another cold one for me and my cigar!

Nliedel Posted March 16, 2006 #14 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Havana, My college major was the Theory, History and Practice of Religion. That's a subject that fascinates me. Teasing is fine. I love to laugh too. Where's my beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Daydreamin Posted March 16, 2006 #15 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Nliedel, I am sorry....I could provide you with a nice Red Stripe or as my wife prefers, a Corona with a lime slice. "sigh" Guess, we will have to get ourselves out of the old chair and get one of our own. We are having about the 4th out of 5 days of HEAVY winds here...I need to actually go out and shore up the parsonage fence as one piece broke in the south wind yesterday. But this is fun.....and I REALLY like Club Trini music. Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerving Posted March 17, 2006 #16 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Kahhli We sailed the Navigator Feb 25. The cost for two Miller Lites was $6.90 including the gratuity. We bought buckets, 6 beers for the price of 5 for $17.25. Just watch your receipts. Some bars would charge for 5 beers and others would charge for 6 beers. Have a great time.:) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
