pebbles99 Posted January 14, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2020 We have got what we think is a current wine list with prices. Have checked their prices for a bottle of wine with local prices and Princess is much higher. I always thought prices were lower as they were duty free, am I missing something? Can you help with my confusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, are you comparing the price for a bottle of wine on Princess with that of a local restaurant or to what you would pay in the grocery store or wine shop? I think you will find that the prices you pay on Princess are quite comparable to what you would find in a restaurant. If you choose, you can take your own 750 ml bottles of wine onboard and pay the $15 corkage (on any bottles beyond your two bottle limit) and take them to the dining room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Packer fan says, not sure what you are comparing. BTW Niners are heading to the Super Bowl in a crushing defeat for the Pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers sure do have their work cut out for them ... all I can do is keep my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
