Steakhouse first night

[wanderlust0713]

Do you have to ask for the free wine or do they automatically offer it?

[Pyxie]

They should offer it, but certainly doesn't hurt to ask if they don't.

Anyone know if you book the steakhouse for the first night online, if you still get the complimentary bottle of wine? Or only if you book onboard?

[SpainAlien]

Is it still the first or second night?

Ask for it, they should inform you but in case they don’t.

What's the menu or is it the same on every ship? What do you get to choose from? I am guessing it's not unlimited appetizers and soups or salads like in the main dining room. We will be on Glory in June.

Here's the steakhouse menu: 

In my experience they only allow you to get one from each section. It is not unlimited.

You can get 2 starters but only one entree.

They never seem to tell you that you are able to choose two Starters but you can!

The free bottle of wine has never been what we like. They do offer a 50% off the wine list. We were able to buy a discounted bottle of wine for another night in the steakhouse. Worked great.

Maybe I just had bad luck but on a recent cruise I had terrible service the first night in the steak house. My dinner companions wanted to go that first night for that bottle of wine. I couldn't help but to think to myself, we all have cheers, why is a bottle of cheap wine weighing in on this decision of what night to eat in the steak house?

Don't get me wrong, I love a good meal in the steakhouse and usually get one. Again not sure if it being the first night played into that bad experience recently but I do know the value of the free bottle should not play into your decision of when to go.

There are 5 of us (at least) eating at the steak house on the first night of our Celebration cruise. Do we share one bottle of wine between us?  Thanks 😊

Suggestion: just ask when you get there.

Last year as my cruise approached, all time slots on the first night were booked. All I kept thinking, it must be so crowded and busy in the steak house. We're choosing the second night personally.

That doesn’t tell me what the ‘official’ policy is.  The answer would be at the whim of the person answering.  My feeling is that one bottle would be shared between two people, since the tables are set up for ‘couples’.  So if a solo ate a table alone , would she/he get 1/2 a bottle? I ate with 5 or 6 others at one time, and the server shared one bottle between all of us..thereby not really even getting 1/2 glass.   
I was hoping someone who had a consistent experience at  first night Steakhouse  reservations could tell me their expectations. 😊
