DoggyDaddy Posted August 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Is there any way to purchase a bottle of booze from NCL prior to boarding? On our cruises with Holland America, I have purchased a liter bottle of Beefeaters Gin along with cans of Tonic for less than $40. I would like to do the same for upcoming Canada trip but cannot find it on the NCL site (looked in the Bon voyage area). Can anyone help?

jame_g Posted August 23, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yes, you can call reservations/customer service and request a bottle of liquor to be delivered to your stateroom. The price is not cheap, I think they start at about $80/liter and go up from there. But it's cheaper than individual drinks. They also add a $3 service fee, which doesn't really make sense to me. It now includes some mixers and garnishes, but I haven't cruised since they started doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindrid Posted August 23, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Correct. The prices have just gone up to the $80 mentioned - The prices used to be in the range of $40-$60 - looks like rumrunners to me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted August 24, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2012 There are 33 "shots" per bottle. If you figure $8 per drink on the ship, your talking about $264 worth of drinks. If you pour doubles your still talking about 16 drinks, about $2.50 per drink for the booze. Not too expensive to me. Whatever you do, have fun. If they find your rum runners, you lose them and the booze that's in them.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk218 Posted August 24, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Actually, more like 22 shots. 20 years in the bar business taught me that. Not if we are talking about ounces in a liter . ( One liter of liquid is equal to 33.81 fluid ounces. ) I do like your heavy hand though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted August 24, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2012 One shot= 1oz, shot and half=1.5 oz, etc. Bars choice on how they want to pour. Mine always poured doubles, but we charged an appropriate price.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
