Trishlo73 Posted May 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Yes. They deliver it on embarkation day. Ours was in our room after we got back from early dining Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostwick girl Posted May 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Shove off is when the ship leaves from any port. I think the poster meant when the ship leaves port on the first day, lol. I've ordered liquor to be delivered to our room several times and each time it was in our room when we arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnp75 Posted May 24, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 24, 2018 My 1 Liter bottle of Patron was in the room at noon! I think most bottles are 1 liter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostwick girl Posted May 24, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Yes, the bottles I've gotten are 1 liter. Crown Royal and Malibu rum. I figured the cost of buying drinks vs. making my own and in my opinion it's better, but everyone is different. The other advantage is if you don't drink it all, you can bring it home!

jwjax Posted May 25, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 25, 2018 When you purchase alcohol online before your trip do you get that bottle in your room? There is an option online to set which day you want the product delivered on pre purchased liquor. You select the day.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted May 25, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 25, 2018 What do you think the cost per drink is when you do bottle service and bring on cans for mixers? Something I’d never considered but maybe should. Especially for shorter cruises. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostwick girl Posted May 25, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I justify the cost of a bottle, say Crown, is 95 plus gratuity now, then figure there's 33.8 ounces in a liter. A shot in your drink is generally 1 ounce, so that's approximately 33 drinks. The average cost of a drink at any of the ship bars is around $9, some more, some less. So basically the cost of those 33 drinks would be around $297. Even adding the cost of your mixers, you're coming out way ahead having the bottle in your room and make your own.

Aren't most drinks about 1.5 ounces of alcohol? Even then, you would get about 22 drinks from a bottle, which is still $198 at $9 a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winddawn Posted May 25, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 25, 2018 When you purchase pre-cruise a bottle of liquor for your cabin, during purchase you can pick which day during the cruise you would like it delivered. You also have the option to order a bottle of liquor once onboard through room service. If you purchase the liquor pre-cruise, they will enter your cabin and leave the liquor for you. If you order a bottle of liquor through room service, you will need to wait in your cabin for delivery to sign for it. I've found there's no price difference either way. You'll pay a service charge if you pre-order before your cruise or pay an automatic gratuity if ordered through room service once onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
