I think a 5th of what you like can go for about 50 bucks.... or is it the bigger size JP? They have more than the Capt available... they pretty much have the majors covered.. vodka, whiskey, rum, ect.

I paid a little over $60 for a fifth of Captain. They got you by the stones on the ship, but oh did I love it.

I ordered a bottle of Captain Morgan for my room. When i boarded it was waiting in the cabin. I brought a flask, and used it to add to my coke. It helped having the bottle, but I still spent $500 on beer and other drinks. Believe me, liquor will not be in short supply.

Last year I ordered through carnivals concierge service about 2 weeks before the cruise. Probably have to do the same thing thru Norwegian this year. Call them up, tell them what you want, and they will probably ask for a credit card. Keep in mind the bottle will be way over priced than what you can buy it for in a store, but it might just help save a few bucks in the long run. Once the drinking starts, it's hard to budget anyhow, and the cruise lines make it so easy to charge back to your room. Your gonna have one of the best times of your life- I sure did.

Hi Matt, you can find beer, hard liquor, and daily drink specials at the bars on the ship. It depends on how much you are planning on drinking, if you drink a lot (all day, everyday) plan on having at least an extra $2,000. I know someone who had a $2500 tab. If you can maintain yourself to drink only at night, but you still go heavy, plan an extra $1000.... you can drink the free lemonade and ice tea during the day. If you are on a budget like myself, learn a way to bring your favorite on the boat without getting caught, and still have an extra $500 (for 2 people) in case they find it..lol You are allowed a bottle of wine, 6 pack of soda and water on you carry-on onto the ship; there's a cork fee if you pop it in the dining room or at a bar from what I understand. I think you can pre-order one bottle of your favorite hard liquor as a boarding room gift.. but not sure how.. never have done it.
