Wine Package...

[plynn]

Leaving the 27th on the Elation. Does anyone know if they still have a Wine Package you can purchase?

Go to "In room gifts and shopping" and then to the wine and champagne section when you open up the website.

they do not show on the internet, however just call and you can order over the phone or when you get on the ship. So yes they still have them, we just purchaed one ourselves.

We bought the wine package on our last cruise. It's called Cruise the Vineyards and they have a few different packages. You can purchase it when you board the ship at the atrium bar.

We purchased the wine package at the first dinner. Yes, it is kinda pricey, but the convenience is really worth it. Plus they'll have your bottles waiting for you before you get to the table. :)

Planning ahead for a 7 day cure over Christmas. Hubby doesn't "partake” to I'm the only one drinking alcohol. With the new Cheers rates ($49.95pp/day + 15%= over $800 for a couple sharing a room) the Cheers package doesn't seem worth it. Thinking about doing the Cruise the Vineyards instead. I remember there were 3 different tiers. What was the mid level rate for the 7 day cruise? I think that included 5 bottles of wine. Any other thoughts? Suggestions?

Here is a link to a page with the wine package options. States it was updated in August 2014.

 

Well - never mind - do a Google search for Carnival Wine Package and it should pop up. :)

I'm glad this is still an option. RCI is discontinuing their wine packages, forcing their cruisers to buy their version of a "Cheers" package if you want drinks with dinner. You can still buy wine by the bottle each night, but at an inflated price (which is really too bad since most of the wine choices are overpriced as it is - $30 onbd for a bottle you buy for $10 out in town. :-(

The prices for the wine packages are ridiculous. I know the ship has to make a profit, but the prices are so over inflated. No wonder people sneak liquor on board!

Does anyone know if it cheaper to order through the fun shops before boarding?

"Cruise The Vineyards Program"

 

By using this program you can save up to 25% off the individual bottle prices onboard.

 

 

If you order by calling Carnival Bon Voyage / The Fun Shops , purchase onboard through the gift shop, or purchase onboard through your waiter in the Main Dining Room you will be charged a 15% gratuity charge (in ALL cases). Prices represented below already include this charge. Any way you order you will not have to select the actual wines in your package till you are ready to drink each one.

 

How the program works:

 

When ordering you select your wine package size and type: 3 or 5 & Basic, Deluxe, or Premium.

You then will receive wine coupons. If you purchase by calling Bon Voyage your coupons will be left in your cabin. If you purchase through the gift shop or Main Dining Room your coupons will be given to you at that time.

The number of coupons you receive depends on the package size you select (ex. 5 wine package = 5 coupons).

You don't actually select the specific wines until you are ready to drink them.

You can use your wine coupons at any onboard bar which serves wine or in the Main Dining Room.

Once you have given the bartender or waiter your wine coupon and wine choice, the bottle is then brought to you.

If you order in the Main Dining Room and do not finish the bottle you will have 3 options: you can either take the bottle with you, have it delivered to your room or they will re-cork it and save it for your next visit to the Main Dining Room.

If you are not a really big drinker you can carry on 2 bottles of wine with no charges as long as you open them in your cabin. You can take your glass with you and no questions asked.
