Buying a “bottle” for someone sailing....

In-laws going on a cruise in late Nov....can I have a bottle sent to their cabin without their knowledge?  We usually sail with them, but will not be in this cruise, unfortunately...

 

I know now I could use their account and buy it, but then the surprise is gone...

 

NCL Jade if it matters...

Wine is a great gift, I just used the link above to "gift" myself a bottle online for my cruise next March on the Jade.  I didn't go through with the purchase but I wanted to see what the pricing was like.  I selected Banfie Le Rime Pinot Grigio, because my wife will drink that grape variety.  They wanted 56.67 Canadian (I'm a Canuck, can't see US prices without VPN).  I checked the local wine store here for the same wine.  16.99 Cdn.  And we pay a whack of taxes here on our booze.  I'm a fan of gifts but a 41 dollar mark up is a wee bit much.  My opinion of course.  Also you'll need to know either their reservation number or the birthday, and date of cruise and ship to order the gift.

If wine is gifted to the cabin will the person receiving the gift have to pay corkage fee if they drink the bottle on their balcony?

 

No. You only pay a corkage fee on wine you carry onto the cruise not when it is purchased from NCL.

Thanks for the link! I have to purchase the Birthday cabin decorations for a friend we are sailing with. Does any one know if I use the link if they will see the purchase before we sail? I ask because earlier this year I called in and purchase OBC for my brother and he saw that I purchased it before he sailed.
