Gregor4500 Posted July 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2015 So i just booked the Breakaway and it includes the Dinning Package. We are also Platinum. Do we still get our 2 bottles of wine from the Platinum dinners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aturnee Posted July 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yes just make sure to take the certificate and give to the restaurant reception desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksurf Posted July 13, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The coupons for the complimentary dinners and wine will be in your packet in your suite. Take the coupons with you to dinner and they will give you the wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor4500 Posted July 14, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks for the quick reply's. We also have unlimited beverage so I'm hoping I can bring those bottles back to the room and just order by the glass at the restaurant. We usually pay the corkage for a few bottles to have in the room. It just seems crazy to bring wine on board if we have the UBP. But we do like a glass on the balcony on occasion. You would think if you have UBP they would wave the corkage fee. It would save them more then a few bottles of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in a suite, the restaurant will arrange for your butler to bring it back for you. The UBP gives you a 20% discount on bottles of wine you buy on board, which is about the same as the gratuity charge (18%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are excited about the UBP but do like to have a glass of wine in our cabin and didn't want to always go to a bar and carry two drinks back. So, we are going to bring the complimentary bottles back to the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpecorari Posted July 14, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 14, 2015 You don't have to leave the restaurant and bring your wine back to the room yourself, if you don't want to. We, many times go straight to the show after dinner and ask them to send the wine, a cork screw and two wine glasses to the room if we're not in a suite and they always do. If in a suite we simply ask them to send the wine to the room. Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumpnchase Posted July 14, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have a question. If I prepurchase the UDP online and we are 2 platinum cruisers would I buy the 5 day UDP? We Eat in the specialty restaurants every night. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, since you have two dinners in specialty restaurants "covered" with your Platinum status, you would only need a dining package for 5 days to have specialty restaurant dinners every night on a 7 day cruise.

I have heard, although I have not done, but you can also exchange your bottle of bubbly for a bottle of wine. I would much prefer the wine, so I may try to do that next cruise. We usually bring at least one of the bottles home with us. Just make sure you tell them when you order in the restaurant that you want to take the bottle with you. Otherwise they will open it and serve it to you in restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
