Thanks! We are considering this. Could someone provide a wine by the glass list as well? Trying to compare them to the premium list. Thanks!

Here's the thread you started earlier it has a link to the MDR list in it. Seems like you are changing your mind?

Thank you! I couldn't find it. Looks like the wine package would work much better for us than Cheers, since the wine selection is better. It does seem a bit ridiculous that a $20 bottle of wine is in their premium package though. It should be available by the glass.

Oh, and no I didn't change my mind. I still don't see anything by the glass we'd like.

We like Cruise the Vineyards. We typically buy it from our dining room waiter if we have traditional seating just in case he gets some kind of credit for selling it. So far the service has been prompt and they always have the wine listed available ( which was a problem on RCI for us many years ago).

 

I still have my question from before

So on a Seven day cruise can you buy both a 5 bottle and a 3 bottle package? In particular, a 5 bottle Deluxe and a 3 bottle Premium. We like wine:)

 

Thanks.

 

I hope you find a way to get the wine you enjoy. Maybe it will be the Premium package. Enjoy your upcoming cruise.

We love wine too! [emoji485] I found two bottles from the premium list at the grocery store last night and bought them both to try. Last night we had J. Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon. It wasn't too bad. Still seems odd that a bottle I picked up on sale for $15 (regular price $19.99) at the grocery store is considered premium. I also bought the Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve Merlot. It was $26.99. We will buy as many bottles of Caymus at the Steakhouse on the first night as they will allow for half price. Last time they let us each buy one, but I've heard some ships only let you purchase one per table, others no limit. Guess we shall see. No need to buy a package until we find out. We will also carry on two bottles.

 

And thank you! We've never had a bad cruise, so I'm sure we'll enjoy ourselves. [emoji16]

Does Cheers allow for 25% off the cost?

Off a bottle, yes, or are you asking if it's 25% off the package? That's a lot of alcohol...

I don't think you can buy a 5 bottle and 3 bottle packages. If I remember correctly, the 5 bottle is available on longer cruises and the 3 bottle on shorter cruises.

[happy cruzer]

Thanks, that's how I remembered it. But we will need :) more than the 5 bottles and our carryon wine.

Probably a really stupid question, but I've never been accused of being brilliant.

 

Can you get all bottles of the same wine from one of the packages, and have it available each night in the MDR until depleted?

Yes you sure can!!

[Bases5]

I do not see it on line on either the Carnival site or the TA site, so I would say no. I have also not heard anyone ordering it in advance.

You can order it in advance, However you must call Carnival, for the package.

I like to party.:*

 

So again, does anyone know if the Cheers 25% off works for the wine packages?

[bury me at sea]

Yes you sure can!!

 

Thank you Bases5. Cheers makes no sense for me but I really enjoy red wine with dinner. I have looked and looked on Carnival's website but have never been clear on the wine package. I appreciate your response.

 

Happy sailing.

Called the Funshops and they provided me with the pricing of their 2 packages:

 

• Basic - $131
• Premium - $193

I forgot to ask if that included gratuity and such or was it discounted at 25% as it sometimes is on the ship.

 

Regardless...

 

5 Bottles x 4 Glasses per Bottle = 20 Glasses of Wine 

 

Basic works out to $6.55 per Glass / 26.20 per Bottle

Premium works out to $9.65 per Glass / $38.60 per Bottle
