swanlady2000 Posted November 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi, Does anyone have the current wine package prices in dollars including the gratuity added if possible? I want to book the 7 bottles for our cruise on the Mariner in 3 weeks and as I'm from the UK the prices for pre-booking are in pounds. With the current exchange rate, I'm trying to work out if it would be cheaper waiting and paying for it in dollars when we are on board Uk Prices are as follows (inc gratuity) gold - £114.47 - works out at £16.35 a bottle Plat - £125.34 - works out at £17.90 a bottle Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madelyn Posted November 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I just purchased the 7 bottle (platinum package) for $198. That is including the 15% gratuity. That comes out to $28.29 a bottle, with gratuity. A bottle of wine onboard the ship is more than that, without the gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes £17.67 a bottle using 1.6 as the rate vs £17.90 If the rate gets stronger then definitely worth waiting till on board. Also bigger savings if you buy more bottles ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanlady2000 Posted November 10, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks for all the prices. It seems the UK prices have been hiked up recently as my cruise enhancements show they are more expensive (in UK pounds) then what Albert has provided. Gold 7 is £99.54 not £94.80. Decided to wait till I am onboard to book the package I want in Dollars as seems will be a slightly better deal. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
