new_to_cruising Posted January 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Does NCL off a wine package where we can purchase 4 or 6 bottles of wine at a reduced price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted January 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yes 4, 6, or 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted January 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yes, it is called the Viva Vino package. (If you search that name in previous posts, the list is posted on a few of them). When you get on board, go to the atrium where they have staff taking reservations for restaurants and also a table where you can see the wine selections for Viva Vino. You need to fill out which ones you want. They have good wine tasting seminars on sea days too, we did a couple at $15.pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Gilly Posted January 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is there a good saving as opposed to buying one bottle at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted January 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is there a good saving as opposed to buying one bottle at a time? Yes about 20% on most bottles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DBeach Posted January 12, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Here is the list from November Thank you very much for posting this info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted January 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is there a good saving as opposed to buying one bottle at a time? Yes. I usually get the middle package, which works out at $24 a bottle. Some of the bottles included sell for between $35 and $40 individually. It works out at nearly 40% off at the most.

rfkeith10 Posted January 13, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Can you purchase a package and have the wine delivered to your cabin? Thanks, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltingmoments Posted January 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Can you purchase a package and have the wine delivered to your cabin? Thanks, Ray Ray, you may have the bottles anywhere you like on the ship! :) I had one in the MDR.........one in the cabin........one in the Casino......:D But seriously, yes, you CAN have them delivered to your cabin, otherwise you get slips of paper detailing your purchases and you redeem the paper slips anywhere on board. Hope that helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Gilly Posted January 13, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Thank you for that information. I am a wine drinker so I think it will better for me than a drinks package. Edited January 13, 2014 by Grandma Gilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted January 16, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Very different Viva Vino list here on the Getaway. Sent from my iPhone - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIDDYwife Posted January 16, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Read somewhere on these boards that Getaway was rolling out the new and improved wine lists, partnering with with Mondavi or Beringer? Cannot recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cretia Posted January 16, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Read somewhere on these boards that Getaway was rolling out the new and improved wine lists, partnering with with Mondavi or Beringer? Cannot recall It is the Mondavi family. http://www.fodors.com/news/mondavi-family-develops-new-wine-list-for-norwegian-cruise-line-7347.html I've been anxiously awaiting news on this as I'm a huge wine fan, but find Mondavi to be limiting with my more eclectic tastes. I can't quite read the above posted list (but thank you for posting it) but now that I know there's something new out there, it's time to scour the internet for a different image.

katie5611 Posted January 16, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Very different Viva Vino list here on the Getaway. Sent from my iPhone - Jim Can you post a better image when you get a chance? Not sure if it's because I'm on my iPhone, but the quality is really bad and I can't read any of the wine names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchownj Posted January 16, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If you buy the package or any bottle of wine at dinner and you don't finish it will they mark it and hold it or do you take it with you and bring it where you dine the the next time? This will only be my 2nd time on NCL the other was a weekend cruise so this wasn't an issue. On other ships dining room is the same so I never think about it.

Daghis Posted January 16, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I'm a Royal Caribbean cruiser who's contemplating a cruise on Breakaway later this year. We traditionally get RCI's "Wine & Dine" package which lets us pre-purchase a certain number of bottles, but we don't pre-specify which bottles we want, and the bottles we choose each night are served in the main dining room or a specialty restaurant. From what I'm gathering from NCL's wine package, when I purchase the package, I must choose which wines I want at that time? Is that correct?

Here is the accepted procedure. You look at half bottle of wine left and you yell over to my table and I come get it. LOL! Actually, another alternative is to finish it off and take the glass(es) of wine with you. To another location or even your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we picked the level and told them what we wanted when we ordered at dinner or for our suite. I do not know if this has changed recently...be hard to pick ahead before you know your meal choices...at least for some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted January 16, 2014 #24 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's good to know. Thanks! I may have been confused by the form showing the wine selections for each level where it looks like there's a blank to fill out how many of each bottle you want.

Rare KeithJenner Posted January 16, 2014 #25 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've bought the package 4 times in the last couple of years and every time I had to select the wine I wanted when ordering. You are given slips that you exchange for the wine when you want it. People on here have reported being able to change the wine when get them though. I've never tried it myself.
