Wine list fleet wide or ship specific? Decent with package?

Forgive me but I confuse RCCL and NCL drink package.  I know I don't enjoy wines offered NCL package or RCCL D perk, so usually drink other stuff and bring some wine on RCCL.

 

But it's been awhile since I had an RCCL drink package (b/c carryon wine and DL non-wine options, normally enough alcohol for me).  I have the drink package coming up on Mariner and Navigator and I'm trying to decide how much to bother with bringing wine.  Multiple cabins but all have drink package so 2 bottles per cabin could be overkill.  

 

I think I noticed Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc at the 12 dollar limit on a menu and find that a drinkable white which I believe I'd have to pay extra for on NCL.  Are there decent reds an processco in the drink package? A link to latest RCCL wine lists by glass or vary by ship?

 

Any recomendations for any wines "worth it" to pay a couple more bucks for?  I'm not a wine expert, usually don't love house wines that sell for 4.95 but happy with a TW&M $14 recommendation and rarely remember names (Kim Crawford and exeception).  Thinks change so frequently I'm not sure how much can trust wine drink menus found from a search.

 

Anyone know if remodeled Mariner and Navigator had changes to drink plan offerings after refurb or if older menus still valid.

If you have the drink package simply set up your own wine tasting excursion- visit every bar and sample away till you find something to your

I am a wine concierge in the Napa Valley .

Rccl does carry Beringer Knights Valley Cab.  It is a very good wine.  You would have to see if it is available on either of the ships.
