It seems that the PV gets four small bottles of spirits.   Is it possible to get a couple of liqueurs in the mix?

Your options are gin, rum, whisky, vodka. Other than for World Cruisers, have not heard of anyone successfully getting liqueurs included.

We were just in an Explorer Suite on Viking Mars, and asked for something other than the 4 minis provided when we boarded. No other options were available. And the 4 minis were not brands we wanted, but there were no alternatives. We usually book Regent, and they give whole bottles in your refrigerator (2 choices per cabin). Silversea also gives a whole bottle. We were disappointed in what we got from Viking Ocean. Viking River gave us a full bottle of white and red wine in our Veranda Suite, and replaced them as needed.

We drank a couple of minis, which were replaced several days later, but just went to a bar for drinks since we bought the beverage packaged. The seas were rough for most of our cruise, and our cabin was at the front. We often went to the Atrium bar for less rocking, rolling and slamming.

We took our bottle of champagne home (we were driving home from our last port). We didn't get to it on our first 2 days onboard, and after that, I didn't feel able to drink when at sea, and in the ports we were out on excursions. We left the minis behind, but did take the candy bars to eat on the way home.

Beer and wine are alcoholic, same as gin etc. But we like the way you think! 😏

 

The Americans seem to call spirits and liqueurs 'alcohol' and beer & wine - beer & wine.

 

Whereas, here in Australia,  it is all alcohol,  just divided into spirits (gin, whisky/whiskey, rum, brandy etc)  liqueurs (Tia Maria, Cointreau, Frangelico etc)  (overall, it's liquor), beer and wine. 

 

No aspersions,  just noting - confused me until I worked it out
