karska Posted December 20, 2013 #53 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Lyn and Mura. Do you book concierge or better? We're doing concierge. Hope we won't be sorry we didn't go larger, but cruise is port intensive. BTW I'd clink glasses with you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted December 21, 2013 #57 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) And we are usually in PH ... but on this cruise (5/22/13) we'll be in a VS. NOT our usual digs!

Book the cabin want to wind up and you won't be disappointed and you'll enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karska Posted December 21, 2013 #60 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Lyn, Where are you coming from? I can guarantee that on our Nov 20-Dec 8 cruise on Marina there were no problems with bringing liquor on board. I've never heard of liquor being confiscated ... if it was, there had to be abuse. (Like being drunk too often!) The policy as stated has always been the policy (or so I believe). Nothing has changed. O still reserves the right to confiscate. It's not like NCL where I did have to smuggle on my vodka ... I've never done so before, but I was challenged! You guys aren't big drinkers anyway, as I recall. (Or you could book a top suite and have more than you would ever need! :eek:) Mura Was confiscated on Princess. Fortunately not us. Nice to hear Oceania and lux lines more liberal.

Mura Posted December 21, 2013 #61 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Two answers ... As to confiscated liquor, you really shouldn't have to worry on O. I've heard that people bring on a CASE of wine without a problem. (No, I never tried to do that.) Karska, you might get an upsell (as has been said) but probably NOT an upgrade. The only time we had an upgrade (and it was significant) was when we were urged to change cruises. But we took an upsell to an OS from a PH on Regatta in Nov '05 and it was well worth the price. Especially since I blew out my knee the day before we boarded and was using a wheel chair or crutches on the cruise. I could not have gotten around an ordinary cabin in that wheelchair whereas I could in the OS. But, of course, I had no idea I would really NEED that OS when we took the upsell! That doesn't mean you should take any upsell that is offered because you might blow out your knee ... it just worked out well for us at the time! And totally spoiled us for future cruises!

Rare ronrick1943 Posted December 22, 2013 #64 Share Posted December 22, 2013 We use to bring wine on the ship for the cabin and restaurants (corkage), but with the drink packages-why? It's a very good value and none of hassle. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPR Posted December 23, 2013 #65 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Don't agree unless you have multiple cocktails each day and/or like the mediocre selection of wines by the glass. Prefer to buy bottles of discounted better wines at the beginning of the cruise and each order a single cocktail per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKS Posted December 23, 2013 #66 Share Posted December 23, 2013 The drink package doesn't make sense for us either. DH may have a drink with lunch, one before dinner and wine with dinner, but I don't have more than two drinks a day, at most. With drinks averaging about $10-11 apiece, that is not enough for either of us to use either package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katmat Posted December 27, 2013 #67 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Where does one buy liquor prior to embarkation near the Port of Miami for both wine & spirits? We'll be flying in the day before & will be staying close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some publix stores have a free standing liquor store adjacent to the supermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
