Breakaway Wine Package....List of Wines?

[dongordon]

Has anyone recetly been on the Breakaway and has purchased the Wine Package.

If so, could you please let me know what wines (and prices) are available.

 

I am most interested in the white wines....particularly Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay.

I was going to bring a case of my own Pignot Grigio onboard, but if the wines are good and reasonable in price, I will just go with the wine package.

 

Thank you.

Don, here is a link to some new changes regarding wine on NCL. they are adding some new brands. Hope this link works because I've never tried doing this before. I know they now carry Ruffino Pinot Grigio in the wine package as well as De Aureo Spirito Sauvignon Blanc, Beringer Sparkling White Zinfandel. Many others as well.

There are 3 packages:

The Enthusiast

The Aficionado

The Connisseur

Robin....

I missed seeing the Wine Package List before it was removed.

But thank you anyway.

You're welcome, Don.

 

They basically went from $20's for the first package; $30's for the second Package and into the $40's for the third package. With 10 selections in each package.

 

What I think I will be doing on my summer Breakaway cruise ( I'm hoping it will still be an option by then) is get the 8 bottle package of the $30 Ruffino Pinot Grigio. It should give me a savings of $8 a bottle (roughly). Therefore, making it less expensive than paying the $30 corkage fee if I brought my own magnum sized bottles from home. Besides, I don't want to pay twice for my own bottles.

 

Hope I'm making sense!

 

Happy Cruising!

Yes Robin, that makes sense.

We had purchased a special carry on bag that holds a case of wine and were going to bring our Cabot Pinot Grigo and pay the $!5 corkage (for the 12 bottles) and then when we figured out the combined costs, it seemed better to go with the wine package.

 

I am just hoping their Pinot Grigio is as good as the Cabot. Is the Ruffino the one that is in the package and how does it compare with a very dry Pignot Grigio (like the Cabot)?

 

Thanks again and Happy Cruising!! :)

You're welcome don,

 

I have never tried the Ruffino Pinot G. So I can't say. At home I drink a Citra Pinot G. from Italy.

 

The Ruffino that is offered in the package sells for $8.99 in a wine store that I go to.

 

The second wine package that NCL offers has an Estancia Pinot G. but I've never tried that one either.

 

I am interested in your wine holder that carries a case of wine, tho!
