gardn198 Posted January 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Sorry if this is a dumb question... I see that I can order wine/liquor/beer online ahead of time in the Fun Shop to have it waiting in my room. What happens if you run out mid-cruise? Can you order another bottle to have delivered? Or do you have to drink at the bar the rest of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted January 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2018 You may order bottles of liquor from room service and prices are similar to pre-cruise Fun Shop prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted January 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2018 They are always happy to take your money especially at those prices for booze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted January 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yes but there will be a 15% gratuity added and I've read that you must be in the cabin to accept delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted January 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yes but there will be a 15% gratuity added and I've read that you must be in the cabin to accept delivery. I was not charged a gratuity on a bottle of liquor I purchased last week on Dream so I tipped the room service person in cash upon delivery. They charged me $85 for Bacardi which is also what I paid in Fun Shop pre-cruise. For Fun Shop pre-cruise purchases, they always charge me my state sales tax. And yes, I did have to sign for it when they delivered it, which they don't do when you purchase pre-cruise from Fun Shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll just order extra through the Fun Shop instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwjax Posted January 9, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 9, 2018 15% is a lot to be added on an already double priced bottle of vodka. Maybe I'll just order extra through the Fun Shop instead. Unless it has changed....you can only order 2 bottles from the Fun Shops prior to sailing. You can order from room service during the cruise at the same prices. I don't recall ever seeing a 15% grat added to the bill when the RS waiter arrived. We always add a good tip for the waiter before he/she leaves.

winddawn Posted January 9, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Quite possible that I've misunderstood what I've read. And maybe you didn't misunderstand! We all read here on this board all the time how things can vary ship to ship. As with most things Carnival, YMMV. I think it is very possible a 15% gratuity could be charged.

ITeach2Cruise Posted January 9, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I don't want to hijack the OP's thread, but this got me thinking. Can you order other things through the funshops to be delivered once onboard? Sent from my SM-G930P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
