Rare shof515 Posted September 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2018 yes, it is new. They recently added it a last year or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have cruised NCL x10 and have never gotten one before? Yes. the sparkling wine for all latitude members (i.e., anyone who is on their second cruise and beyond) started in Feb 2017.

rtkenmore Posted September 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Don't get too excited, it's the cheap stuff they give away constantly as prizes at all the events and games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted September 7, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2018 We, well I, drink it 50:50 with apple juice; makes it almost drinkable!!! At least they no longer refer to it as "Champagne"!! VBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted September 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Mix the sparkling bubbly with Orange Juice and get a SUN BREAK - served by a late airline April 1987 (Western Airlines - "the only way to fly" "the champagne airline") !

newmexicoNita Posted September 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I was just looking at the reward tiers and am wondering?? I am gold and shows I get a bottle of wine. Is this new? I have cruised NCL x10 and have never gotten one before? It is relatively new in the past couple of years but it is sparkling wine so not as exciting as a bottle or red or white. What we have started doing is, taking it to the M&H if you are going to attend and sharing it. The staff will be glad to open the bottle for you, We then make mimosas. It is a fun way to get to know others and what else are we going to do with a bottle of bubbly we can not take home with us? As for people mentioning it is cheap wine: of course it is, I would not expect anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyW12 Posted September 8, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I tried to give mine to the room steward and was told NCL employees could not accept it. However, the ladies in the spa, who are not NCL employees, were happy to take it off my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore referring to the Latitudes Rewards Chart LINK below: Every stateroom with a member of Latitudes status gets a bottle of bubbly vino (or clown seltzer water) one per stateroom - not per person. https://www.ncl.com/latitudes-rewards-program You are free to use drink consume give it away in anyway you wish. I wonder though what the crew does with all the left over free stuff left by the cruise customer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneb1973 Posted September 8, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I gave my bottle of free wine away to a friend (as I'm a non-drinker). He was happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4774Papa Posted September 8, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Yes. the sparkling wine for all latitude members (i.e., anyone who is on their second cruise and beyond) started in Feb 2017.

casofilia Posted September 8, 2018 #17 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Can we turn in the sparking wine for a bottle of non-sparkling wine? Not any more, you used to be able to but we have not been able to for about a year. Probably since they started giving a bottle to all Latitude guests.

Thanks, I do mainly Royal cruises so I know what I am due on those cruises. last year I did 2 NCL cruises and didn't get the sparking wine. When I sail on the Star in Feb. I will be asking about it.

bluehawks47 Posted September 9, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 9, 2018 "Every stateroom with a member of Latitudes status gets a bottle of bubbly vino (or clown seltzer water) one per stateroom - not per person." We were on our third NCL cruise last March for a 4 night out of Port Canaveral and we were told that we only get a bottle of wine if it is a 7 night cruise or longer, so I guess it's not every stateroom with a Latitude status.

Small print, and at the bottom of the list of benefits... Note: Onboard Discounts (including the pre-booking of shore excursions) are available on all sailings. All other benefits are available on sailings 5 days or longer. (I enlarged for easier viewing!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the correction amplification. My point was that the bottle of bubbly is only per cabin and not per person - 4 persons in a cabin do not get 4 bottles - ONLY 1 bottle. Your point - cruises must be 7 days or more to qualify ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggTexasGal Posted September 9, 2018 #23 Share Posted September 9, 2018 My apologies. I was only trying to highlight this for others who may not realize further terms/conditions/rules are in "small print" on NCL (usually further down the page). It was meant to inform, not offend, anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted September 10, 2018 #24 Share Posted September 10, 2018 On a 20 day cruise I could manage 4 bottles as long as I was able to source enough apple juice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
