CruiseKeeper Posted March 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I must have been cruising too much lately and not paying attention. I stumbled upon vodka, gin, rum and scotch being able to be purchased along with mixers on Royals website for stateroom delivery. When did this start? Also I'm wondering why it's not available for delivery on all their ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you can drink onboard or get it when you get off. Sent from my E5823 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my E5823 using Forums mobile app Thanks, I see Texas appears to be the exception as the only state that delivery occurs after the cruise ends. Now that's odd, and I though we had odd liquor laws in PA. Years ago we used to purchase liquor onboard and bring back to our cabin after paying something like $9 for that privilege.

I got the room decorated for DW on Jewel 2 years ago and we got a bottle of cheap plonk. We done the same for sister in law on Indy this year and the Web site has been totally overhauled.

Actually, I think out of Texas, the liquor is delivered to your stateroom after embarkment.. where the other cruises it will be in your stateroom when you arrive. It am pretty sure it has to do with the Texas liquor tax laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't make much sense to buy an overpriced bottle and mixers to be handed to you as you debark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to refer to my liquor cabinet here at home to compare sizes. (Did I mention I'm from PA; I'm lousy with metrics.) That 375 ml bottle is small! In the good old days, we purchased a liter bottle for the cabin with that $9 privilege charge. Anyway, I'm glad they brought this service back.
