Wine Question

[Cruisen Elf]

I am new to Princess, so am unsure of their procedures. If you purchase a bottle of wine, do you have to drink it where you purchased it (for example in the dining room or bar), or are you permitted to take the bottle to your cabin for consumption? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

You can take the bottle and bring it back to your room for consumption.

Or they will store the opened bottle for you in the DR to use the next night.

Or the partial bottle

That should be opened bottle. You can have the server keep the bottle and it will be on the table the next night if you have fixed dining time. If you have anytime dining, the server will label the bottle with your cabin number. When you want it, tell whichever server you have that there is a bottle for you and he will retrieve it.

No problem taking it back to the cabin. The key is glassware. There will be glasses in the cabin. If you pour a glass and take it to dinner and don't bring the glass back, the cabin stewards no longer will replace the glass. You'll have to get glasses from Room Service or stop at a bar and ask for a clean glass. It's a pain but its not the steward's fault. A few years ago, management instituted a new policy and won't let them replace the glass. Stupid but oh well.

On our last cruise we had several bottles of wine in our cabin. Our steward did replace the wine glasses a couple of times without being asked.

I usually let the room Stewart know right away I want ice in my room and four wine glasses and presto it happens.

[Colo Cruiser]

Yes Stewart!

When calling room service to exchange our minibar items we also request wine glasses.

You can bring it to your cabin.

The room steward will provide glasses as needed each day if you want them. I suppose when he sees them missing after the initial request he assumes that you've finished the wine & no longer need them. We only bring 1 glass each to the DR each evening so we just keep requesting additional.

Thanks everyone! It's good to know we can take wine back to our cabin whether it's opened or unopened. And I like wineforhealth's saying about feeling better after a little wine! Don't we all?
