DH loves his martinis and this summer we'll be cruising the Baltics where wine/spirits are very expensive to pre-purchase.
I've looked through the Beverage choices in the Indulgence section on HAL and I don't see vermouth. Can you get sweet and or dry vermouth delivered to your cabin? (we intend to get a bottle of vodka and of gin delivered that way)

Or ask HAL or have your TA do it.

i checked over the alcohol list that i have abd nothing is listed on there abou vermouth
seeing as you will be doing a baltic cruise -- and you are probably flying -- you will not be able to put a bottle in your carryon -- and i wouldn't risk putting a bottle in a suitcase because it could break
call ship services at 1-800-541-1576 and ask them if you can buy a bottle for the cabin

Not to worry! Call Room Service and they will deliver vermouth (or anything else they have at the Bars) in a few minutes. If you have a brand preference they may or may not have your brand, but they will have vermouth. Written by one who also enjoys a Martini.

I would contact Ships Services prior to sailing and request a bottle be delivered to your cabin. If you wait until you arrive, you may find they don't have what you want. Much better chance of having it with prior notice.

Just in case, if you can't get the vermouth or are fussy - go to Magellans Travel (on line) and they have awesome alcohol carrying gadgets that you can put in your baggage. If the bottle bursts - no damage, but we have packed several bottles in these suckers (normally our duty free to bring home) and never had a problem.
I hold my breath every time dh wants to bring something and we have never had a problem. Smooth sailing :):)
