rev29k Posted May 2 #1 Share Posted May 2 Hello all. We are cruising on the Voyager in a couple weeks and are working on our mini-bar selections. We were wondering, has anyone been able to request and get a liquor selection that ISN'T on the bar menu or the Butler form? A complimentary one I mean, not a connoisseur selection. The options for Bourbon are pretty basic and limited. Was hoping for maybe a Buffalo or something in that area. I mean I've been on NCL countless times and they have many options at the bars, so figured Regent is likely going to have similar options as well given they source from the same place (NCL owns Regent). But again, just wondering if anyone has been able to get something other that the 3 lousy options on the form/menu. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted May 2 #2 Share Posted May 2 In all my cruising, I have never filled out a form. I just let the cabin person know and everything I want is in there within a couple of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chateaunole-du-pape Posted May 2 #3 Share Posted May 2 See this thread. For what it's worth, when we boarded Splendor last year, Grand Mariner wasn't on the list, but we like to have it occasionally, particularly when the weather is cool, and asked if it would be possible. I think that was a request the suite attendant hadn't encountered before, but when we got back to our suite, there was a 1L bottle of it just waiting for us. Ironically, we always got back from dinner too full and never even opened the bottle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked on the pre-cruise form for either Baileys or Kahlua, and got full size bottles of both. We were in a Grand Suite, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

rev29k Posted May 2 Author #5 Share Posted May 2 All of those liquors mentioned are currently on the list. I'm just not liking the American Whiskey options listed. I have attached what is currently being referenced/provided by Regent when you ask for it. Pcardad, is anything you asked for not on this list. Just curious.

They have gotten me a bottle of Black Seal in the past as well as some mixers they didn't have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rev29k Posted May 2 Author #9 Share Posted May 2 Ok, it's good to see these selections from people that are or have been available. I hope it's not a selection based on the ship, but I wouldn't see any logical reason for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rev29k Posted May 2 Author #11 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Does anyone know how many bottles you are allowed? I'm not trying to have a fully stocked bar, but I would like a couple options, and the wife really only drinks wine. I'm hearing 2 bottles, but hoping 3 or 4 is allowed by chance.

We will be in a Grand Suite and are allowed to pre-order up to 4 bottles. We have been in same suites on a couple Splendor cruises and have always asked butler for additional choices and have never had a problem getting our requests fulfilled. Suggest you order as many as you are allowed pre cruise, then ask butler or room attendant to add other choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on Explorer in two weeks and I can't find anywhere to order liquor for the room "pre cruise". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcsdkqh Posted May 2 #14 Share Posted May 2 Unless you are in a suite with a butler, there is no place to submit your request online. You will need to make your request directly with guest services, or thru your TA. Or just make your request with your attendant when you get on board. You will have it within a couple hours.

Lonedaddy Posted May 2 #15 Share Posted May 2 you can also email the special request pre cruise and if buffalo trace is on their distributors list they may be able to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have said the got it so it likely is. Also, I know NCL does and that's who owns them (NCLH technically). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our Grand Suite pre-order form, connoisseur/premium alcohol choices do not show up. Rather, you have to request whatever it is you may want. Probably best for either you or your or TA to contact RSSC for their offerings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a Penthouse, you can preorder 2, but you can check with your butler about something additional. If you have thoughts of fully stocking a bar in your cabin and aren't in a very high level suite, you'll need to pay for it. If you have a suite lower than Penthouse, you don't have a butler. Your room attendant should be able to get you 2 bottles delivered to your cabin. After the first day onboard, I would expect an empty bottle to be replaced, but finding your attendant to ask for something else can sometimes take a few days, especially if you are off the ship during the day on excursions.

Pcardad Posted May 3 #21 Share Posted May 3 They always replace bottles when they hit halfway - or that has been my experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just on Navigator in a Conciege Suite - so no butler. When the Steward came and introduced herself on the first day of the cruise I told her what we wanted - alcoholic and non alcoholic. It was stocked later that day and items replaced as we used them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout16 Posted May 4 #23 Share Posted May 4 I normally do not keep any bottles in the room, except for an occasional drink from room service, since I am quite happy to have company in the bars, but I wonder if you can just as at the bars to have a bottle sent to your room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just leave a note on the desk for your attendant with your request. I hand them a note even when I see them in person! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
