In-stateroom liquor - What HAL sent me!

[infohunter]

The following was sent as an excel spreadsheet which I can' reproduce here. So I'll do my best in formating things so it can be read. I had asked what scotch was aboard and this is what I was sent in reply. Tried to search to see if this had already been posted but if so I couldn't find it.

 

Please note: Each line item has three prices. They are the Onboard Sales Price (BSC NOT included), Onboard World Cruise (BSC NOT included), Gift Order Price

(includes 15% service charge).

What size bottles, please?

 

Seems similar to what we've paid for pre-ordered in cabin use.....1Ltr. as I recall.

You know they didn't specify a size. I'll reply to the email and see what they say.

[WillieF]

I'll keep any eye out - bought 750ml Tanqueray Gin today, tax incld. - CA$30.00 +/- a few cents.

[Bungalow Bill]

What does BCS stand for?

[Quendryth]

I didn't even know you could buy liquor for your cabin! It is a lot easier to order in advance & not worry about it being confiscated at the port!

 

do you order thru your TA or on line? I know it is easy on Celebrity to order from the Captain's Club but they never have what you want! always have to order the next highest price available! Right!

 

Thanks for any info on this. It is greatly appreciated

 

Faith:D

[Krazy Kruizers]

The bottles are 1 liters.

 

We always call Ship Services at 1 - 800 - 541 - 1576. Then I take a copy of our credit card as proof we bought something.

 

You can also call room service when you get on the ship and order a bottle that way.

 

BSC - Bar Service Commision (15%)

[Suitegurl]

We have ordered bottles through ship services to be in our room "as gifts" in the past. We like to have a drink in the cabin while getting ready for dinner and sometimes at the end of the evening on the balcony or while enjoying a meal from room service. We still enjoy having a cocktail at the various locations throughout the ship, but if you want to have something in your cabin...this is definately the way to go. No worries about trying to smuggle on board! Just order and enjoy....:D

[Welove2cruise2]

I read here on the boards that it was possible to order a bar setup for your stateroom, but this is the first time I've seen a comprehensive list -- thanks!

 

This thread is ANOTHER reason (along with the discussion on "as you wish" dining, which at least now is "stuck" at the top of the board) why I wish this board would have a FAQ thread with a sticky at the top.

Thanks KK for your help. I have one other question - which price do I use?

Each line item has three prices. They are the Onboard Sales Price (BSC NOT included), Onboard World Cruise (BSC NOT included), Gift Order Price

(includes 15% service charge).

 

So based on what they sent me.... if you are onboard and it isn't a world cruise then use the first pricing. Of course I haven't yet cruised on HAL so just going by what I was sent.

 

 

[GadgetGod]

What does HAL have against bourbon drinkers? 10 vodkas and only one bourbon (and a low end one at that). I guess it is lucky that one of my favorites comes in what looks like a wine bottle, as I do not think I can stomach Jim Beam for 16 days.

[Krazy Kruizers]

When ordering once on the ship, the price is the first red one and then the 15% gratuity is added on.

 

If ordering on line or through Ship Services, they quote you the third price which has the 15% gratuity already added into it.

[Krazy Kruizers]

GadgetGod

 

You can always go to any bar once on the ship and ask what a bottle of your favorite bourbon would cost.

[GadgetGod]

thanks, that is great to know. That is the first I have heard of that. is it priced at similar levels as the above pricing? The last thing I want to do is to have to pack a bottle in my luggage, but jim beam is a step above "rock gut" to me.

That's good to know!

 

I also promised to report back on sizing.... From my latest email from HAL Ship Services ....

They are 1 Litre.

I was thinking the same thing. I re-read the list a few times figuring I missed the Bourbon section. Oh well.

[Sunshine91]

I KNEW I read here on CC that folks could have a bar set-up in the cabins, but couldn't figure out how. Ahhhh, you go to a bar to buy one or order from room service. :) If you buy in the shops, it'll be held for you.

 

My folks just returned from the Volendam in Alaska & I had sent them a bottle of Absolut as a gift. I was charged the $32 price when I called Ship Services. Mom said they went to the bars to get garnishes like olives & lemons. :D

[gizmo]

Can someone tell me why the Onboard World Cruise is so much cheaper ?

[WillieF]

That's good to know!

Thank you 'infohunter' - that's just what I thought.

 

Don't know which cabin you are in but if you have a cupboard with glass shelves - DON'T STORE BOTTLES THERE! Last time on board we had a bit of 'rockan'roll one day and thought nothing of it. Back in the cabin getting ready for dinner, DH opened the cupboard - out flew the bottles - both cracked and necks broken :eek: spilling a fair quantity before we caught them. Ah well! what can you do? Just at that moment our Steward arrived - took in the scene at a glance and was back in minutes with yards of cheese cloth and 2 containers. Yes, we strained what was salvaged - guess we each lost about 4 drinks.

 

Did we tip him - you bet we did!!!!!!!:D

Thanks for the tip. We will be careful with all of the goodies :rolleyes:.
