Ok I just stumbled across this post. We are going in July. We drink a fair amount on vacation. One class of wine is definitely not enough.Do we have the option to bring on bottles of wine like we do on other cruise lines.

No you are not supposed to bring any alcohol on but it is easy to smuggle it on.  We bought wine in various ports and put it in plastic flasks or water bottles just to avoid the weight and disposal of the glass bottles.  If you have never been on the Mandalay you will probably love it!   My husband enjoyed it much more than I did because he had never been.  Years ago they were stellar, not so much anymore.  Mashup the bartender is great as always!

Can someone tell me about the bar on board the windjammer mandalay? We do not like rum and one glass of wine isn't enough. Do they overcharge for wine?

Wine is 5 punches on the doubloon, or $5 per glass.  The Chardonnay is very acceptable, the red wine not so much.  They pour one glass each at dinner -it is not unlimited. We just got off the ship yesterday.   Buying a glass at the bar gives you a larger pour than at dinner.  I did many weeks (12 or more) when it was WJ Barefoot; it is not what it used to be.  Our passenger count was only 23, in high season.  Hope this helps.
