rkacruiser Posted December 3, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I am returning to Carnival for a Bahamas cruise aboard Carnival Liberty. I recall that there has been discussion concerning an advantage to having dinner at the Steakhouse that first night: a free bottle of wine or a bottle of wine at a reduced price. I don't recall which. Is my memory correct? And, if so, is such an amenity still available? If the amenity is still available, does the guest get to select the wine or is it a bottle of the House wine? Thank you for your information.

cairyn Posted December 3, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Wouldn't that hammer the Steakhouse? Would it be any of the additional cost restaurants, maybe? Following, because I'm curious now! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted December 3, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) I have not sailed on the Liberty. On the ships I have sailed a free bottle of red or white is offered, or your choice from the wine list at half price. The latter is a good deal. I haven't tried the free ones. Offer is good only in the steakhouse as far as I know. Edited December 3, 2016 by bury me at sea Added info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted December 3, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 3, 2016 We always eat in the Steakhouse on the first. The MDR is always a little chaotic. You get a bottle of white, or red for free on the first night. You can also purchase any wine on the menu for 1/2 price. The free wine is meh, so if you're a wine lover do the 1/2 price deal.

riclop Posted December 3, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Free bottle on the 1st night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebJ14 Posted December 3, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) On the Liberty this week the choice was a bottle of Santa Carolina Merlot or Santa Carolina Chardonnay for the freebie the first night. Or, you could order any bottle of wine off the wine list at a 50% discount. Edited December 3, 2016 by DebJ14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted December 3, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 3, 2016 It'll be too soon. Not to change the subject, sorry... I haven't done the steakhouse on first night, but luck-of-the-draw we have done it twice on elegant night and I can say they have the same "half off any bottle of wine" deal on those nights as well - plus if you order the surf n turf you get a REAL lobster tail instead of the toddler tails in MDR.

originalgeek Posted December 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2016 We just had it last night. 3 night to Nassau on Valor which will soon be replaced by Liberty. Food was awesome, wine was...free. :) We aren't connoisseurs..the red (merlot) was fine for us. We drank it all. And by "we" I mean she drank a couple sips and I had the rest. If she had cared at all I would have sprung for 50% off a Malbec but we saved the dough for other stuff. Having a great time on Valor!

p_mori7 Posted December 3, 2016 #15 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Past two cruises the Santa Carolina Merlot was the bottle offered. It is not an expensive wine (about $9 at Ontario LCBO stores) and it's actually a pretty nice little Merlot for the price. The 50% off on the regular bottles is also worth it.

cairyn Posted December 3, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 3, 2016 No other for cost restaurants on the Liberty. They do have the Chef's table though. On the Sunshine, there's Steakhouse, Chef's Table, Cucina de Capitano, and JiJi's Asian. Trying to pick appropriately.

BTromboneFrack Posted December 3, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 3, 2016 On the Conquest last year, we got a free bottle with dinner, then purchased a bottle of Dom Perignon at half price, brought it back to our room, and enjoyed it on our deck later in the week.

rkacruiser Posted December 3, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Many thanks for the replies! I am pleased to know that this amenity is still available. Knowing this answers the question as to where I will dine the first night. I appreciate BTromeboneFrack's sharing their experience of getting the free bottle and purchasing a bottle of quality wine using the discount to take with them. I will try that when I sail.

p_mori7 Posted December 4, 2016 #24 Share Posted December 4, 2016 From what has been posted previously on my thread, it is per table. Per couple actually. Some tables can accommodate 4-6 people or more depending on ship. Have seen tables of 4 with 2 bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules stated by the workers at the Steakhouse is one bottle per table. Granted, if you complain about it in most situations they will grant 1 bottle per couple but it will not be automatic and it may be denied depending on who yo are talking to.
