terrymtex01 Posted May 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2017 We are traveling as a family with two staterooms, each stateroom will be Platinum Plus. My question is concerning the bottle of wine you are given with the dinner perk. Are you able to take any leftover wine back to your stateroom.

ColinIllinois Posted May 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Sure, you can take it anywhere you want or have them store the remainder for you if you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycarla Posted May 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Brings up a good situation. If we are on the UBP - we get unlimited wine by the glass. We also get a bottle for dinner. So, why not just do the by the glass at dinner and take the bottle back to the stateroom for drinks there? Or as one poster did - take the bottle home. Personally, we never have any portion of a bottle that needs to be stored (we finish it), or bottles to take home (we finish that too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted May 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2017 We order the bottle and tell the waiter not to open it. Then take it back with us. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that this is what many (most?) people do, and what they have been doing for years with the Platinum wine, even since the UBP came onto the scene.

Rare KeithJenner Posted May 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Yes, it is exactly what we always do. Then we have a bottle to drink back at the room for a sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted May 27, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2017 We asked for our selected bottle of wine to be unopened @ specialty & taken it back to the stateroom with us - when sailing from homeport. We find great use for it - great to marinate stew and red meat, etc. at the home "gallery". Earlier this month, we had 2 bottles of "sparkling" wine and took it to MDR for dinner, they exchanged 2 chilled bottles & open it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted May 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2017 We are traveling as a family with two staterooms, each stateroom will be Platinum Plus. My question is concerning the bottle of wine you are given with the dinner perk. Are you able to take any leftover wine back to your stateroom. you can take it back or have it saved for another meal, but who has extra wine after a nice dinner? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda the Book Lover Posted May 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2017 It's yours to do Whatever .I have brought a number of bottles home ( sealed ). You know I never thought of just taking it back to the stateroom unopened. We usually drink it and the UBP LOL I like the idea and will do it this trip coming up.

terrymtex01 Posted May 28, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thank you all for your replies. We are taking Doug's parents on this cruise as it will be their 50th wedding anniversary so we both booked separate rooms through CAS, but we will be in one and Doug's parents in the other. Although I cook with wine often, neither Doug nor I drink it. I'm a gin person and Doug whisky. So we have never paid attention to how the complimentary bottles of wine worked. We have always given them to people in the restaurant, etc. But his parents both enjoy wine so we were checking out the options. Haven't been on CC in a while, we have taken several land trips recently that were on our bucket list. GaryCarla and NewMexicoNita, great to read your replies old friends. I have missed you.

nadeki Posted May 28, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Great to see you back on these boards. Loyal posters are missed. Funny how we do notice. I think of you when I buy milk that is past the expiration date of my cruise. I believe you are the one that did the happy dance for this. My greatest find is organic milk has a much later expiration date so the happiness kicks in weeks sooner. Welcome back to the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't-use-real-name Posted May 28, 2017 #18 Share Posted May 28, 2017 There is a "special free wine list". Not going to find any of the expensive wines there. Wine list - probably the CHEAP end of the Viva Vino program: The Enthusiast 4 Bottles - $88 ___ Beringer, Sparkling White Zinfandel – California ___ Lindemans, Bin 90 Moscato – Australia ___ Ruffino, Pinot Grigio – Delle Venezie, Italy ___ De Aureo Spirito, Sauvignon Blanc – Langeudoc, France ___ Woodbridge by Robert Mandavi, White Zinfandel – California _#_ Alice White, Chardonnay – Southeastern Australia ___ Colores Del Sol, Malbec – Mandoza, Argentina ___ Ravenswood, “Zen of Zin” Zinfandel – California ___ Errazuriz, “Estate” Merlot – Colchagua Valley, Chile ___ Black Opal, Shiraz/Cabernet – Southern Australia # Alice White always a favorite of mine Not quite 2 buck chuck stuff (Wal*Mart lable) but palatable otherwise ! No you are not going to get a rare imported $250 bottle from the south of France vintage when a Pope was born ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted May 29, 2017 #20 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Here's our recent Viva Vino list, the free list is in a nice binder. Birdtravels embarked on the Breakaway today, maybe he can get that exclusive list from specialty. via Nexus 5X on Nougat 7.1.2 using Tapatalk, VPN secured.
