Cosmopolitan Posted November 7, 2007 #26 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Anyone remember what sorts of days the 1/2 price specials were offered? Was is it on port days or sea days? Thanks! ;) All days:) You will see everyone carrying around their helmets of beer;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_FadeAway Posted November 7, 2007 #27 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If they keep it, why do they charge you for it? It's a "deposit" so that you don't run off with it, which means you have to make sure you get credit for it when you turn it in (on the last night).

salty dingo Posted November 8, 2007 #28 Share Posted November 8, 2007 It's a "deposit" so that you don't run off with it, which means you have to make sure you get credit for it when you turn it in (on the last night). They do the same thing with towels, too. In theory, you could forfeit the deposit and keep it, but why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyssa13 Posted November 8, 2007 #30 Share Posted November 8, 2007 can someone explain what the bar setup is to me please? and the cost! thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms belp Posted November 10, 2007 #31 Share Posted November 10, 2007 You can order a bar set-up for your room. Prices are generally $40 to $55 for bottles of spirits. They have wine and beer available too. I was told you have to bring your own mixers or buy them onboard; they aren't available with the bar set-up. We've cruised NCL twice now and determined that it was cheaper to buy the bar set-up rather than drinks on board in the evening. Check out the postings here; someone has the bar set-up menu posted. Order 2 weeks prior to your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsaes2 Posted November 22, 2007 #32 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Does Anyone Know What Brands They Have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planer's Edge Posted November 22, 2007 #33 Share Posted November 22, 2007 As far as I understand, beer is not available in a "bar setup". Also, Port and Sherry are available but not wine. You can bring your own wine but will be charged a $15/bottle corkage fee. Here is a link to the actual bar setup menu: http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2264197270059187889kExPdr PE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAFFRAT Posted November 23, 2007 #34 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I hope those are 26oz bottles? And no mix? Not even some tonic and limes with your bottle of gin? That makes little if any sense? Except for Quebecers and drunks from 18th century England who drinks gin straight. What does a "bar set up" get you other than a bottle?

Steve The bottle come in litres. I'm not sure of the size of the liqueurs, ports, sherry's or brandys. There's also beer. I'm ordering 6 beer (3 Coors light, 3 Shiner Bocks) then getting the helmet for refillls. You can bring your own mixers on board. OJ is availible, free, in the morning. I'm planning on filling water bottle with OJ and putting them in the fridge. Bar Set-up is a way to cut you bar tab without going to the naughty room.

Leafpeeper Posted November 23, 2007 #36 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I think the prices on some of the liquiors are the same but domestic beer is now $4.54 a bottle. Can anyone give me a recent price on the beer helmuts? Last week on NCL Pearl: $3.95 domestic bottle and $19.95 helmut (6 beers) plus tip. We enjoyed Sunday football on the jumbo screen in the atrium but was disappointed they never used it for movies at night. What a waste of a jumbo screen. Unlike the Dawn and Star, there is no cinema on the Pearl. This was our only disappointment on Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just been informed, by the ship coordinator, Pride of Aloha, there are no "bar set-ups" on Hawaiian cruises, recon this is true?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted November 26, 2007 #39 Share Posted November 26, 2007 So the helmet are $19.95 plus tip. Is that the "1/2 price special" being talked about or is it cheaper than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GROOVERS Posted November 26, 2007 #41 Share Posted November 26, 2007 NCl says it's against the law in Hawaii to sell and put bar set ups, with hard liquor, in a Patrons room, and that's a good thing, maybe that will cut down on the number of drunks, except those with lots of money!:o I guess we will just have to check out the helmet's, huh?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they catch you smuggling hard liquor into your cabin, the Hawaiian officials will board and come lock you up in the slammer? Well, I'll be darned........................................:( A sailing we will go, A sailing we will go Hi Ho the dairy-o, a sailing we will go! Show me the way to go home Bom, Bom, Bom I'm tired and I want to go to bed Well I had me a drink about an hour ago And it's went right to my head!
