saphir Posted March 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hi, What do you mean open bar? Drinks included? Even alcohol (wine, beer, cocktail)? Is it mostly the old people we find on board? There's live music? thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gogo65 Posted March 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Open bar means alcohol included. So yes, beer, wine, cocktails. however you can upgrade and buy more expensive wines, spirits etc. in regards to age, I suppose it depends on how old you are? If you’re 20, then yes most people will be older. it also depends on where you’re going, we went to Antarctica and the average age was probably 50, with most between 40 and 70. in regards to music, there was a few musicians around the ship, a small band played most nights.

PBfromDC Posted April 1, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Cool Cruise is correct. Alcohol - spirits, wine, champagne are included and the brands offered were quite nice. There are up brands available for purchase. On our Le Boreal trans-Atlantic last year I would estimate the average age to be in the mid-50's, perhaps a little older. It was an active and lively mix of passengers 2/3 French, 1/3 Americans, Germans and other nationalities mixed in. We had three sets of musicians - a woman who played classical piano (most often in the Observation Lounge before and after dinner), two young couples that would alternate in the main lounge (a singer and keyboard or piano player). They helped to create festive evenings. Very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasr Posted April 5, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Worth noting that it also includes your mini-bar in the cabin. Depending on the cruise type, there may be special events with higher quality champagnes and wines. There is also always a 'cocktail of the day' to try!

worldtraveller99 Posted August 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2019 We are thinking about a Tauck cruise on Le Soleal. What kind of brands of wine and champagne are included please - would hate to need to pay for alcohol if the included ones are good quality. Or are they inexpensive entry level wines only? Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 81Zoomie Posted November 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I will start by saying wine is subjective. We found the champagne to be quite good. We were not fans of the included Red and white wines. There were a few choices that were rotated throughout the cruise. The red wine was a big disappointment, especially for a French line. We sailed from Argentina, so we expected some great wines from Argentina as well. That was not the case. We ended up buying a bottle for dinner on several occasions. We loved our cruise and the Le Soleal. The cocktails were great! Our recommendation would be to sample the wine at lunch and then adjust if necessary at dinner.

worldtraveller99 Posted November 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thank you for your help - as you say we need to taste it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrienH Posted November 25, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Their house Champagne is Henri Abelé and on Captain's night, and other special occasions, they serve Veuve Clicquot. Upgrade for a larger selection of wines is, I believe, 20 € per day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
