justacruiser1 Posted September 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I saw some videos where people got bottles of whiskey or spirits sitting in their room. I was wondering do they do that now and can I request some bottles to take home? thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetact Posted September 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Pretty sure on the plus package that you can not get a bottle. Now I think you get a couple of bottle in your room if you have an owners suite. We buy a few bottles on the ship that are usually duty free and take them home. Some bottle are a great deal compared to home where we our state controls the price of alcohol and screws us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if you can bring any remnants home. I’ve never been in an Owners Suite and likely never will be. 😂 I also don’t think you can get bottles of spirits with the Premium Plus package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't open any of the three bottles and brought all three home with us. Please note: if you're flying, any liquor must be unopened and in your checked baggage. You can also request wine in lieu of the spirits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the highest category rooms receive included bottles of liquor. The drink packages do NOT include bottles of spirits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexandNessa Posted September 10, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) The GV gets 6 from a list. Though in my experience you can sub bottles if the replacement price is equivalent and they have availability onboard (e.g. we sub Vanilla Vodka for vodka). DOS and OS get 3 bottles. Here is the latest list i have (this month) for the DOS Edited September 10, 2023 by AlexandNessa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexandNessa Posted September 10, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) 😀 We must be watching different videos because I've only seen the standard stuff we were offered above. Maybe call the concierge to see if they can do better for the GV? Like i said, we're in a DOS, and that's what we were offered. Maybe you'd have more pull in the GV. Good luck!

Rare SpainAlien Posted September 10, 2023 #12 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) With your Premium Plus drinks package you can get drinks from the bar from the expensive bottles of spirits but no you don't get to take a whole bottle just two glasses at a time.

I believe you can only order two drinks at a time per person I don't know how long you would need to wait to order another two maybe 10 minutes, maybe less, but the bar staff are required to ensure that nobody gets blind drunk so I expect it would depend on their assessment of your ability to continue drinking.

FLAHAM Posted September 10, 2023 #17 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Note that U.S. Customs only allows one bottle (liter) per adult duty free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktuluorion Posted September 10, 2023 #19 Share Posted September 10, 2023 This is a very good informative thread. I am a haven cruiser, but the step down from GV, which I enjoy but it's not GV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this wasn’t addressed to me, but the rules are the same all over the ship, including in the Haven. Another reason (probably the primary reason) is to try to prevent people with a drink package from getting drinks for those that don’t have a package. That being said, the Haven bartenders will know you by name within a day of onboarding. They will know who has what package and may “bend” the rules occasionally.

Sxm13616 Posted September 10, 2023 #25 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Just ask for what you want. They are pretty accommodating. I have always gotten exactly what I asked for even if it wasn’t on the list they sent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
