Liquor from Bon Voyage?

[blondeonboard]

So I have been reading the posts regarding ordering liquor from Bon Voyage and still have a few questions I was hoping to get an answer for. :confused: Like how many bottles of liquor can you order? Will they deliver it to the Carnival Valor? When should I order? Has anyone ever ordered liquor and not gotten it? The soda I bring onboard to mix with the liquor, do I have to pack that in my carry on or can it be in my checked bag? Thank you in advance for any help! :p

I dont think there is a limit. I ordered 3 bottles last cruise. You have to order at least 2 weeks in advance. I had no trouble getting mine- when I went to my stateroom when I got on the ship there it was! I think its just Texas they have to wait until that night at sea to deliver it.

 

I would do it again in a heartbeat. I didnt have to worry about smuggling and could just relax.

 

Soda has to be in your carry on.

You do not have to order 2 weeks in advance, at least I didn't. I ordered today and will be departing Miami this Saturday! They asked me if I wanted it in our room when we arrived and I said yes please!

Most of these are answered in the many discussions and thus should show up in a search, but I'll give it a go

 

(1) Haven't heard of a limit, but I suspect if you tried to order 100 bottles you might encounter one. Two or three seems to be no problem.

 

(2) Call Bon Voyage and ask, they should be able to tell you that one

 

(3) Before your cruise would be best. Ideally at least a week, but it's not unheard of for people to order three days before and be successful.

 

(4) Carnival FAQ (on carnival.com) and as discussed here, new rule clarification claims a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages (12) can be brought via your carry-on luggage. Of course you also should be able to pick additional cokes or juices at any of the ports as well.

oops: (3.5) Someone posted about not getting theirs -- turned out it was delivered to the wrong stateroom. Straightened out in a day. Smart to carry a receipt with you.

Anyone have a price list for what is sold by the BV dept ?

 

(I know I can call the BV dept but you guys are so smart and have all the answers right here !)

Has anyone tried to bring on additional non-alcoholic beverages at ports?

[Crusin Karen]

Don't they sell buckets of beer for "reduced prices?"

[TigerStar]

Can the alcohol from BV also be purchased in the duty free shops on ship?

[Crusin Karen]

Alcohol purchased on the ship is held until the last night and then delivered to your cabin.

[1PCcruiser]

Order from room service when you get there. Will deliver to your room in a bucket of ice with 2 glasses. 1 liter of Bacardi=$40. Same price as Bon Voyage. Don't know about limit.

[village cruiser]

We orderes a bottle of Skye vodka from Bon Voyage 3 weeks out. $40 & was delivered the first night. Ran out a few days later, called room service & got another bottle delivered to the room for $45.

We take 2 cases of non alcoholic drinks, diet something or other! And we get the booze from bon voyage

[mattmed]

What size bottles are the BV prices for?

 

I'd hope 1.75 liter but my gut is saying no....
