cltcruisers123 Posted January 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Anyone happen to know if Veuve Clicquot is available by the glass on the Apex? Also, if so is it included in the premium drink package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Queenie Posted January 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I sure hope so because I planned on ordering! I know I just read a recent thread were someone had posted they had ordered by the glass, may have been in a specialty restaurant and we’re not charged the difference. Either way I’m in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted January 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) I checked the wine lists on the app for our upcoming cruise on the Reflection and could not find a by the glass option. You may want to check th app for your sailing and see if it is listed by the glass. Edited January 18, 2022 by jelayne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mari10 Posted January 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I drank it every night on the Apex while on the October TA, however there is a $5.00 per glass up charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly they served it by the glass most every night on the Magic Carpet Bar by the Pool. I remember a friend ordering it and was something like an up charge of $5 or $6.00. Don't recall. They had bottles of it in big glass pails all over the Magic Carpet. Maybe it was just a promotional.

Rare Stockjock Posted January 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Can't speak to Veuve Clicquot, but I was planning on buying Caymus on my recent NYE cruise on Summit & they apparently didn't have it anywhere due to "supply chain issues". So could well be that not everything that is expected to be available will be available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted January 18, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yes, buy a bottle, let them pour it in the glass… It was on the drinks & more, no? Which is gone. I have also seen the buckets of it at the Sunset Bar.l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted January 18, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yes, it’s available, but not on the premium package. There is definitely an upcharge. The premium package used to be Montaudon, but has now changed to Cattier. It was very good. I actually like it better than the Montaudon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed is that when I ordered the premium Champagne, they were serving me Prosecco. I'm not sure I ever got a glass of the premium Champagne and I did have the premium package.

Was thinking of bringing a bottle for the room as I’m sure if they had it on the ship it would be more expensive than what I can find it for locally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently the champagnes on the premium are either Cattier ( quite good) replaced Montaudon or Chandon. When we were on the Edge Cattier was not available in Luminae, Martini bar, Club or Retreat Lounge but DH found a small supply at another bar. They had about 6 bottles and set them aside for us, we enjoyed it the remainder of the cruise. For those wondering there were no $ up front it was a nice offer from a couple of bartenders and on the last night we rewarded them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh that’s not bad. $13 up-charge off premium package limit of $15. May be the way to go if heavy pours 😆. Can get bottle at local grocery store for $88, 10% less if I buy half case and I get about 2.5 glasses out of bottle usually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second night they brought the bottle and left it on our table. Pours were good but not that good!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple years ago a half bottle of caymus came out during Xmas for $54 canadian which i purchased. In all honestly not that crazy about it, much better cabs available at better price points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcs5390 Posted February 4, 2022 #16 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I have cruises on Silhouette and Millennium coming up. Does anyone know what champagnes are served there recently? Are any included in the premium package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted February 4, 2022 #17 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Love the Bubbly! And nothing quite like a nice Champagne. I do enjoy Prosecco but when i saw the bottles of Veuve available on the Apex Magic Carpet, jumped on it. Upcharge or not. That was in Nov ‘21. A number of years ago, I did a Napa wine tour and we did a side run to the Frank’s Family winery, a small place Not in one of the ‘Italian Villas’ that are so common there. They had a great wine marked as ‘Champagne’ and I asked them how they could do that. The old guy told me, ‘To Heck (different word) with those French, this is Champagne!”. I agreed and bought a number of them. Great stuff. Looked recently and they advertise ‘Bubbly’ now. Me thinks they got nailed. Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent at that price point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted February 4, 2022 #19 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Did that also. Loved Franks. May have have to go online and try them again! I realize there are so many great wines and don’t really have to do that, but Frank Family vineyards was so different. Loved it. Do Not tell my sister I’m thinking of shopping a Napa winery….she lives in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, and sent me a t-shirt with” If you Love Wine Come to Sonoma If you need Car Parts, go to Napa den Edited February 4, 2022 by Denny01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
