Purchasing Bottles of Liquor On board

[TRAVELINGMAN2]

Do you have to order the bar setup from Celebrity, before the cruise, to have a bottle of liquor in your cabin or can you order just a bottle from one of the bars? We really don't need the soda and the nuts. Does anyone know what the cost is?

Celebrity lists available liquors on their website along with prices if you wish to pre-order. Expect to pay on the order of $80 - $100 per bottle.

 

I would also like to know if it is necessary to purchase in advance or if you can simply order during your cruise?

The advantage of purchasing before you are onboard is that you do NOT pay the service charge [15%] that you will pay on the ship. The price is the same [other than the service charge] in both situations [but I cannot remember if you get the sodas if you purchase on board].

Thanks! That's good information!

Thanks Sue. In that case we'll buy it before we go.

Wow that much for a bottle? No wonder Rum Runners are so popular.

Celebrity also has a Classic and Premium drink package that you can buy or get it when booking the reservation as long as it is available. The drink package does not get you bottles for your room. You can also bring 2 bottles of wine or champagne on board in your carry on luggage.

Not sure if you already knew this, but I thought I would post it.

It would be nice if we could bring a 375ml bottle, but then again anything I would want to bring on board probably doesn't come in that size.

I remember when it was sold duty free at the pier before boarding and was permitted to be brought aboard in any quantity. Haven't things changed!

Depending on the port you cruise out from 80 bucks is not that bad for a 1 liter liquor bottle with mixers and snacks.

 

For most USA ports this is very high, however for many foreign ports it's not.
