lljost Posted September 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Wondering if anyone who has been on the Crown this past summer can tell me if the Wine Package was offered. We are headed there next week for the transatlantic. My understanding is that if offered they only have the Gold Tier? Does anyone know the level of price per bottle and the current costs and number of bottles included? Thank you in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help is appreciated! I purchased the Gold package on the Royal in April which we purchased on our first of two 7-day B2B cruises. The Silver package was not available because nothing on the new wine list is under the $31 limit. I’ve read posts where passengers were told onboard they’re planning to change the package however haven’t read any post about that happening...yet. https://www.princess.com/downloads/pdf/ships-and-experience/food-and-dining/beverages/Wine-Menu.pdf I’m planning on the Gold package being available on our Fall month long cruise. Gold Package (wines up to $45 per bottle list price) plus 18% tip: 7 bottles -- $217 (average of $31 per bottle) 10 bottles -- $290 (average of $29 per bottle) 12 bottles -- $336 (average of $28 per bottle) Edited September 13, 2019 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrek Posted September 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2019 We will be on the Royal Princess for one week in November. Do you know if they have the gold wine package for one week cruises? Also does the 7 bottle price include the 18% fee or do they charge that on the bottle you select? That seems sort of strange but just wondering. Or, do they charge $217 plus 18% tax when you buy it? If the wine package is available for purchase for our cruise can you buy it in advance or do you buy it once on board. Do you tell the waiter you have the wine package and pick a bottle each night? Also if they bottle cost is above $45 can you pay the difference or do you have to buy it outside the package? So many questions but maybe someone knows the answers. Thank you, Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser113 Posted September 19, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2019 we were just on the Grand to Alaska...10 days. Purchased 7 day gold package. Bottles up to $45 included. You receive a punch card the size of a business card. The 18 % gratuity is charged at purchase. Any bottle over the $45 you only pay the additional charge. we bought several over the $45 limit. Bottles can only be purchased in the dining room. We bought champagne during one lunch. Interesting system. If the bottle is over $45 they charge you the full price when purchased....then the next day a $45 credit goes on bill. It worked out great for us. We enjoyed some new wines. Sure some one will correct me but believe the cruise needs to be 10 days or more to buy the card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
