skiman1 Posted May 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Just wondering if bottles of alcohol (whiskey or rum) can be purchased on board for use in your cabin? I know Princess and HAL did have this option through room service about two years ago. My wife and I enjoy a few drinks in our room while getting ready for dinner. We don't want to try to smuggle alcohol on board and don't mind paying a little more for this option. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted May 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2009 You can pre-order liquor through the Celebrity website. If you go to your reservation at their website, then look down at the bottom of the page where it says "Shop Celebrity" and click on "Order Celebrity Gifts". Then go to "Gifts by Celebrity" Then "Shop Aboard" Then "Spirits, Cellars & More" Here is a link: http://www.celebritycruises.com/bonvoyage/category/viewCollection.do;jsessionid=0000-fwJIEmzFEa7d6cp6s33eB1:12hdbcveb?cat=SPIRIT&coll=LIQUORPKG It is more expensive, but if you'e willing to pay a bit more then it is worthwhile!

TomCruises Posted May 30, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Its a ripoff! And its not smuggling. Everybody likes to bring their own beverages.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addict Posted May 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2009 And you can buy pretty much any alcohol, except for Brandy. It's the only thing we drink and they would not sell us a bottle for comsumption in the stateroom under any circumstances. We could buy whisky, gin, rum, vodka, bourbon - but not brandy. And they would not allow us to bring a bottle onboard in ports - even though they could not supply us with what we wanted!!:( Princess and Hal will sell bottles of Brandy for comsumption in your stateroom but not Celebrity - I wonder why?

skiman1 Posted June 10, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for the info. Yes, they are a little expensive but I won't have to pack any of that stuff in my luggage for the airplane ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommadawn Posted June 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yummm, the Vodka package comes with six cans of soda and some nuts. :) :) :) This sounds like a good idea. I also like the idea of not having to pack it. :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottygirl1 Posted June 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2009 So do we have to pre-order wine via the "shop onboard" website or can we buy wine at this price while on the ship? Is there a wine shop on board or do you have to have a steward deliver the wine? What is the best price? Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatC Posted June 10, 2009 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2009 YOu are allowed to bring 2 bottles per cabin on board at embarkation. After that you can order in the dining room. I understand that new "packages" are being unveiled by the end of this year as to ordering of liquor, wine, soda, etc. We're sailing on Mercury next March and always order a liquor package. It's nice, as many have said, not to have to lug liquor, especially if you fly and board the same day. However, this time around we're going to wait and see about these new packages before doing anything definite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottygirl1 Posted June 11, 2009 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Can anyone tell me if you can order a bottle of wine as part of room service. I see on the CC breakfast menu there is a champagne option so presume that we could order a bottle of wine in the evening if we wanted to? I like a little wine pre-dinner while getting ready :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
