Sending Yourself Alchohol from the Bon Voyage Dept

[kelligirl]

Has anyone done this? What kind of prices can I expect? I may bring some on board myself but it seems like a lot of work hiding it from what I've read.

[babybumblebees]

I'm with you. Hubby and I are placing our order about two weeks before we board. We will bring in sodas for mixers, but also purchase the soda cards. We expect to save a little on our bar tabs - all while being "above board", and no threat of the "naughty room".

yep it is easy...you pay the price that is listed on the website. ;)

[wildeklave]

actually the prices for non-wine is not listed on the website.

 

I am on a cruise next week and am getting a bottle of rum and vodka for $40 each (about twice the price of a liquor store).

 

The liquor should be in your room when you arrive.

 

It is easier than trying to smuggle and probably getting your booze confiscated.

[Bill Friendly]

Yeah, they range from $40 - $65. Liquor prices are not on the carnival website, only wine. Need to call to place order.

[elcuchio24]

Some is marked up 15%, some 60%. Depends on what you want. Call them and they will give you the current price list. Seach for threads with "bon voyage price list" and you will find the list and number.

8 cans of club soda $1.95 each

Not worrying about smuggling...priceless

I've done this on all my cruises. It's $40.00 for a bottle of Absolute Vodka.

Bottle of rum will greet me when I get on the Dream in 25 days.

I did not gather this list but can not remember who originally did. Sorry whoever I stole it from. Should have saved your name to give you credit.

[zoomerica]

Thank you for the pricelist GypsyRose...

 

Not really obscene as markups go. I like that Carnival allow bottle sales to your room. Not that I am a lush (DW says :rolleyes:) but I like to offer hospitality to guests or have a drink while trying to tie a bowtie. I see no listing for single malts...

 

Good for Carnival.

[ManyMore]

You can also just order a bottle from room service when you are onnoard for the same price.

Really????

[lizzytobias]

So, we ordered 12 Bud Lights on last week's cruise, and when they were delivered (shortly after we were able to go to our cabin), they were gift wrapped in celophane gift-basket style. I got a good laugh out of that ;)

But yes, I highly recommend this.

WOW!! That's the 1st time anyone's mentioned that "they" didn't put it together. I didn't mind doing it...it was a slow day at work and I'm glad that so many have benefited from it:D:D

[lizzytobias]

Really????

Bon Voyage = NO gratuity.

[afcj1]

Really????

 

Somebody else wrote that they had done that. Great idea!. Heck I'd still try to smuggle and if it didn't get through, then no biggie...just order it from RS:)

I didn't know that . . . thought you had to order via Bon Voyage before the cruise . . . .

[lizzytobias]

If you order from RS, there is a gratuity tapped on. BV has none.

Also, some people think you can buy it in the shops or in port and bring it to their rooms, which is not the case! Anything you buy outside of Bon Voyage or Room Service will be delivered to your room your last night on board.

Still in time for a last night of vacation party. As for not being allowed to bring stuff on that you buy in port, technically you are correct. I would buy 3 bottles while in port, go through the screening process ans be directed to the check in desk where I would GLADLY leave one bottle and take the other two to my cabin.

So...are you the responsible person for gathering all this useful info???

Thank you for your hard work! I will go and put your name by it so you get your due credit from now on.

[beccafries]

Can you bring juice onboard in your carry on or checked bags? like u can for water/sodas....

[ericrz]

Yes. Carnival rules allow a "reasonable amount" of non-alcoholic beverages per person. They have not ever, to my knowledge, defined "reasonable."

 

But I have NEVER heard of anyone having non-alcoholic beverages taken away.

[Dryraiin]

I just called to get a bit more info- so these are all 1L bottles, and also-they do have wine packages for 5 bottles for $109, $126, or $184, depending on the quality of wine. The $109 is like asti spumanti, the $126 is barringer, and the $184 is chadon sparkling and kendall jackson.

 

just thought i'd pass that along! :)
