noone Posted April 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2017 HAL Noordam in May to Alaska. How do I get bottles of alcohol in the room on embarkation day? We like to have our drinks in the room. Can I order them now to be in the room when we board? Ty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted April 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2017 You can pre-order them by calling Guest Services at 1-800-541-1576. If you go on HAL's site, you can see a selection of wines and spirits to choose from. You can also make special requests - sometimes they are able to accommodate your request. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If you call Ship Services at the above number, be certain to ask them to send you an e-mail confirming your order. You can order on line as well. Both of the above options require you to have your credit card handy as you pay for them right away. Take the e-mail confirmations with you just in case there is a problem. The bottles of alcohol will be in your cabin when you get on the ship. Sometimes we have had a lot of ship board credit so we wait until we are on the ship to order alcohol for the cabin. If you order on embarkation day, it will take a while for it to be delivered to your cabin. You just call room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankc98376 Posted April 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If you set the order up to deliver at sea you will avoid local taxes that can appear if you order on embarkation day. 99% of the time it is in the stateroom. If it's not there I bet the cabin steward could get it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not there I bet the cabin steward could get it for you We always pre-order a bottle of Crown from the HAL site under our booking. Yes, you are charged when you order but on all of our cruises we've pre-ordered it's been waiting for us when we first arrive at the cabin.:whiskey-glass::whiskey-glass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noone Posted April 28, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Ty everyone. I called and they are emailing the ship to see if they carry Carolans Irish cream and Royal Reserve Canadian rye whisky. If they do, I can purchase via email and I will request the at sea to avoid taxes. Thanks for that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted April 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We wait to order once on the ship. It's always there by dinnertime. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Belle Posted April 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If I pre-order the 5 bottle wine package can I have the 5 bottles delivered to my cabin on embarkation day after we are at sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of DaNile Posted April 28, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We normally pre-order but for next cruise we have so much OBC that we'll just wait until on board. Thanks for the reminder. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall being charged tax on my pre-oorder of a wine package and the bottle of Crown. When you pre-order the wine packages there's an option of having it delivered to your cabin or the dining room. I know this to be true because a couple of HAL cruises ago they mistakenly delivered it to the room and I had to call for someone to move it to the dining room.

Krazy Kruizers Posted April 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2017 It hasn't made any difference in our last few cruises whether we pre-ordered or ordered once on the ship -- we were not charged Florida's tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
