We have had this before, although they usually tip that stuff down the champagne fountain. With that activity curtailed, I guess they need to use it up. On par with pol acker. 😂

I recollect a half bottle of pol acker in cabin on QM2, must be the Cunard £1 chuck, the poms will drink anything, lol.

Yes, another from the bottom shelf.

 

We have had Korbel on Royal as well, and I think we even paid for it in the MDR once. It is Californian, but a short rung above the others mentioned.

Critic rating on wine-searcher of 83%France - The Duc de Valmer Blanc de Blanc Brut is a nice white-gold color with fine and persistent foam. Fruity, delicate, with some vinous nuances. A very good balance between vinosity and roundness. Good finish. A very pleasant wine. Pairs beautifully with devon & tomato sauce sandwiches. 😉

Classic! 🙂

It must be.  Experienced Cunard fellow CCers on the Barcelona-Fremantle thread (we're staying on to Sydney) are fervently hoping it won't be the offering.

Does Princess still have the $2 chuck Korbel bubbly, as used at the champagne fountain?

I haven't seen them do a champagne fountain since the restart.

 

We'll keep the Duc de Valmer until you're onboard, Les. You can help us taste it! I've got a nice shiraz to take the taste away if it's really bad. 🤣 Mic & Rosie could join us if they'd like to. We're in a suite for that cruise so plenty of space. D703.

Sounds like a plan, 

Previously,  they normally did the champagne waterfall on the 2nd formal night, as our cruise has 2, we may get to see it.

I believe I read somewhere that the Champagne Waterfall events are not being conducted at the moment. The Maitre~D will be having withdrawal symptoms, lol.

Good to hear, sounds like it may be a real task to find them, but we know that the RCMP will get them.

Thanks Mic.

The alerts have been coming all day. The latest says one suspect has been located deceased and the other is still at large but may be injured. We are sitting in the airport in Saskatoon waiting for our flight. This leg takes us to Calgary where we have 2 1/2 hour layover until our flight direct to Victoria. We expect to arrive at the airport just before midnight.

Thanks everyone, all is well and we are safe. The attacks were about 200 Kms away. The suspects are still at large sill but are suspected to be even farther away in Regina. 

Please keep safe

You'd be home by now, hopefully safe and well and resting after your trip.  Keep safe and well, both of you.
