Specialty Liquors?

WeCool · #1 (**permalink**) May 19th, 2009, 09:31 PM

I was wondering if the Carnival Sensation has any specialty liquor on board?

Some that I can' get in the states?

Or do they just carry a basic American bar stock?

Also ordering booze through the concierge (I believe it is) to be placed in my suite, is that a good idea?

If so what type of liquor would you suggest be the best bang for my buck?

Thanks for the help Seasoned Cruisers!

Ordering liquor for cabin can only be done pre cruise through bon voyage department and very expensive.

Just sneak on - lots of threads about sneaking alcohol on. Just put it in checked luggage and you shouldn't have any issues.

I usually order a couple of bottles for my cabin. Yes it's more expensive but as long as they offer it I'll take advantage. At least I know it will be there. Better than the SLIM chance of getting caught and going without.

As far as stuff onboard you can't get in the states, the only one that comes to mind is Sheridan's coffee liquor. It's dark and white and mixes when you pour it. They'll have sample opportunities once or twice during the cruise.
