Susan85207 Posted April 15, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2006 We are sailing on 5/7 and I have figured out that the bar setup is the way to go (with your help of course!). What is the bar setup? Do they just leave the bottles in your room? Is there more to it? Glasses? Can I bring a blender in my luggage (under 500 watts, of course)? Is there any hitch in this that I should know about? I am thinking about ordering three bottles to take care of my husband and I for 8 days. We may have some leftover....can you take in with you when you leave? This is going be the best cuise ever!!!!

You did not mention what cabin category you are in. Yes, if you order a bar set-up it will be in your room on embarkation or shortly thereafter. A suite...just ask for the "mixers" A cabin...either order your mixers or bring them on board with you. We haven't brought a blender, but you can. Yes, you can bring anything that you haven't ~ drink, drank, drunk ~ home with you. Have a wonderful cruise. May...a wonderful time to cruise:) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathfanjan Posted April 15, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Thanks so much for the quick reply. I've learned so much from everyone here. It's a great place to be when you can't sleep! Thanks again, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan The Butler will bring them but unless you are in the owners suite (AA) and up you will pay for Cokes, tonic, club soda etc. As far as a blender look into the Magic Bullet - works and more important packs well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorothy Posted April 15, 2006 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I'll be in a Catagory AE. Do I need to arrange for the bar setup in advance or can I do that upon arrival and checkin? Also, do you know if I can get margarhita mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan85207 Posted April 15, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Thanks for the info! We are in a BA cabin. I am going to bring my mixers and a blender. The Magic Bullet looks very cool!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you know if I can get Margarita mix? You have to order a bar setup at least two weeks before your cruise. No option onboard except smuggling:rolleyes: Get your mix at your local store and bring it with you. Many have suggested a dry mix that is easier to pack.

House_Atreides Posted April 15, 2006 #11 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I'm hosting a party in our suite on the Sun sailing (4/23 Panama Canal) and would like to have a few bottles around for our CC members to pick from. I don't even know HOW or WHERE to order a bar set up! Any help??? Thanks!! Mary :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoreguy Posted April 15, 2006 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I don't even know HOW or WHERE to order a bar set up! Any help??? Thanks!! Mary :D No problem - call Passenger Courtesy M-F. You pay with a credit card when your order. $40 or $55 per liter plus a $3 per order fee. They will tell you the options by type. Bar service 1-866-625-1159 Call Monday - they normally require you to order two weeks prior to the cruise If you are in the Owners suite you get to select 3 bottles onboard for free :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishKathy Posted April 15, 2006 #13 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Shoreguy: Do they have 7-Up and Ginger Ale as mixers on the Star? Sprite just won't do it. Also, do you know if they offer after-dinner-type bottles such as Drambuie or Amaretto in the bar set-up? Thanks Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xProfessor MA Posted April 15, 2006 #14 Share Posted April 15, 2006 when sailing for two weeks....a repositioning cruise in the owners suite....do you get a second offering of three addtional bottles for week two.....got an email from a former NCL concierge that thought that might be the case....

MadDog Cruiser Posted April 15, 2006 #15 Share Posted April 15, 2006 We're in the OS on the Sun in December and also would like to know what the bar setup requirements are including mixers... Do we order before or do we wait until onboard? Is it true that OS gets 3 bottles of spirits? and if so, how do we find out what brands they have available? Thanks Shoreguy for the info on the magic bullet... need to look into that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodiebird Posted April 15, 2006 #16 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Do you have to be in a certain category in order to have a bar set-up?? I will be sailing the majesty this summer and don't have a suite or anything just a reg inside cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
