Wine pairing at farhenheit 555 questions...

[JBallz38]

Has anyone done the wine pairing at the steakhouse and did you feel it was worth the additional $18? Also, if I have cheers, will this be covered?

[coevan]

I doubt Cheers will cover it. As a self professed wino, I don't like sweet wines or ports, so paring is not my cup of wine.

I kind of figured it wasn’t covered under cheers😕 thank you for your reply!!

You might be better off foing the cruise the vineyards 0ackage and having the 

sommelier select from your choices.

I doubt Carnival employs Sommeliers. The only upscale wines are in the Steakhouse and our server brought our wine.

We live in CA and wine taste often. IMO, Carnival’s wine list is meh at best. You just might enjoy hitting a Total Wine at home (if you have one nearby) and buy two very nice bottles on their recommendations and bring them on board as your two free allowance. We do this and then fill in whatever we want/need while cruising and in port (drink, not bring aboard).

I'm from California too and very close to Napa/Sonoma.  Based on my experience with tastings and wine flights, the Carnival steakhouse pairing is not worth it.  Of course, this is all subjective but if I were you, I would order a glass (or two) of your choosing and go with that for your entire meal.

Okay, thanks for all of your replies! 😊 Since I already have cheers, I’ll likely just stick to ordering by glass.🍷

Love your self imposed nickname, I resemble that remark.  Carnival used to have Sommeliers in the Steakhouse, but that ended a good while back.

When they had a 3 piece band and we danced between courses. When the Steakhouse first opened we thought it was the best thing Carnival did.
