cruise101 Posted July 19 #1 Share Posted July 19 I understand Viking allows one to bring ones own liquor on-board. Rather than lugging a bottle of scotch (or gin or cognac), do they also sell liquor by the bottle in the shops on the ship? If so, is there a link that shows what is typically held in stock in the ship's shops? Also, are liquor prices on the ship duty free and thus cheaper than what you'd pay in port? Thanks in advance for your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your responses. Liquor is not for sale by the bottle. Even if it was, I would expect it to be marked up at the same rate as the wine (about 3X). Drinks are very reasonable by cruise line standards if you don't want to bring your own bottle aboard. 🍺🥌 Edited July 19 by CurlerRob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't weigh that much! We've done it many times as well as several bottles of wine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peregrina651 Posted July 19 #4 Share Posted July 19 (edited) ALSO, if you are in a PV or higher cabin there are nip bottles in your minibar, replenished daily. No that is top shelf labels, Edited July 19 by Peregrina651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted July 19 #5 Share Posted July 19 If you are on a WC they will put liter bottles of your choice of spirits in your cabin. Or just buy a bottle at the next port and lug it home to the ship> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Inaugural WC we got a fill it out form for 4 bottles. So at subsequent WCs I asked and it was provided. Never got another form in advance but always replenished as the bottles got low.Whether in the room or at the bar we can only drink so much. Then its time for ice water.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
