Purchasing Bottles of Liquour & Taking it Onboard (spank me!)

[gsb]

Smuggling liquor on board a ship sure sounds like something a teenager would do. Rum Runners, putting liquor in water and wine bottles....sounds childish to me.

 

Sounds like fun to me. And it's always been foolproof!;)

It's not a list of no problems on me. It's a list of people need to look in the mirror, before they put down someone for wanted to bring a bottle. If 2 bottles of wine can come on, and a person can abuse that in one sitting, it might not be the hard stuff but its still alcohol. Celebrity is more for the older type clientele , most know how to control their liqueur. We are not a bunch on teenagers or 20's year olds.

 

As we know it is against Celebrities policy, will you get thrown off. Not, unless you act like a arrogant fool. Be prepare to pay a price by losing your alcohol if your caught with a rumrunner.

 

Btw I don't break the rules with the other half, that's one rule I have always been good at. :) Speeding yes, coming back to work late from lunch, yes. :)

 

 

1 liter equal 16. 6 shots times.. So your bar setup is $6 per drink. No tip.

 

Generally a shot is 1.5 oz., so a liter would be 22 drinks.

Somehow the word fool fits right in.;)

Isn't impolite to call someone a fool.:confused::rolleyes:;):p

Maybe, but he used the word. Being foolish is using bad judgment. I would say smuggling booze comes under that category.

But there is a difference between calling someone a fool and being foolish, most of us have probably been foolish sometime in our lives or at lease I hope so.;):p. Of course, perhaps there a a few out there who are perfect therefore they've never been foolish, but what dull lives they have lived.:p

You haven't drank with my other half.. He oiled say we are both wrong. :)

 

Sorry i was figuring 750ml bottle, not a liter. And mistyped

Stick and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. Nah nah.

That's ones own opinion. But calling someone a name because you do not agree with them is also wrong.

 

I don't consider it foolish just smart.. Foolish is a woman wearing a white see through dress with dark panties and bra. :D

"1 liter equal 16.6 shots times" .... Is your quote.

 

I was just saying that 1 liter generally equals 22 drinks, unless you're doing a free pour. :)

It's fuzzy math after 3 shots. :eek:

I didn't call anyone a name. You are the one who said it was foolproof and I said the word fool somehow fit in. Just check out the dictionary.

I didn't say it.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but you seem to use innuendos ... not to the special folks....childish.. And fool....

Too true :)

 

How did you like the Reflection?

Ugh, OP sorry your question has turned into a sparring match.:cool:

 

The brief answer to your question is that a bar set up in your cabin isn't cheap. Do the math and see if it doesn't make sense to buy a drink or two at a bar and bring them back to your cabin.

If the bottle X provides is a liter, then a price of less than five dollars a drink, with no tip, seems like a fair price. No lugging them back from the bar, either.:)

[WestLakeGirl]

Just because some other cruise line charges less for their bottles doesn't make it right to bring your bottle on the ship with you

It's okay if you're a mega poster and live your life on here.:cool:

It's a great ship in my opinion, the only thing that I don't like are the alcoves, they take up space.

 

To the op, it's really up to you if you want a bar setup. I have never done a bar setup as I have done a drink package. I have used runrunners in the past to have a drink in my room. I never drank a whole bottles worth. It was a convience to me to have a little something of my own flavor of vodka. I only drank it in my room, and not around the ship. I always had a decent bar bill also. Weigh out your option and enjoy your cruise.

On another thread I pointed out that it depends on the departure/restocking port as to the size of the bar set-up bottle...

 

The last few times (Barcelona, San Juan, Vancouver) it's been 40 oz (1.14 litre) bottles in our set ups.

FWIW, on a recent Princess a 375ML bottle of Absolut was $18 plus gratuity to room service at 15%, no mixers or salty nuts. While X is more or not comparable, everything extra on X seems to be somewhat more, from restaurant upcharges to Cafe. However the S class ships are gorgeous.

So $54 for a liter plus tip, more resonable then Celebrity. Its true the upcharges have gone up recently, which I didn't enjoy along with others on this board, but thats a different story.
