Julie commented that the wines available in the plus package was very limited. I'm happy we didn't pay $40 pp per day for the plus package. We don't need the internet (no longer free for Elite level pax), so we are way ahead at $15 per bottle corkage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should haved asked to see the full wines by the glass menu. They are trying to fob off that limited selection for the packages implying they are "special" for that package but they must have wines by the glass available for people that don't have packages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your Plus Package you should be able to order wine that I can buy by the glass (without the package) if it is under the price limit of the package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did manage to see the wine listing (apologies no photos here) - they did have a fair selection of wines however most of them are sold by bottle only. I bet they intentionally limit the choice of wine by glass so they can make some extra money knowing a lot of people have plus package and would like to buy inclusive wines.

I agree, the plus package isn't geared for wine drinkers, which somehow seems a bit unfair, Pretty much the same arrangement for drinks packages on other ships too. With plus, you can get pretty much any beer, any run off the mill cocktail, and most spirits neat or with soft drink. Wine seems so heavily restricted in comparison.

Same with lugging bottles of wine on and paying corkage. Just buy it or go without. Edited June 28, 2022 by NSWP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily a matter of too expensive, it's quite often just a matter of a ridiculous price for low quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les is right.... ridiculous price.... I remember one cruise we felt like a port to go with a wee bit of chocolate... as one does.... the only port on board was $25 per glass ( rather small glass at that ) the next cruise relabeled a couple of bottles muscat as Shiraz to take on board in carry on..... they didn"t even check..... wondering if you can still take 2 bottles of wine onboard at the start for free ??? Having said that we carried a 2 bottles of NZ wines on at most port on last NZ cruise, put they through the scanner and nobody said anything..... thngs could have changed now Don with Coffee in the lounge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for two in a cabin it is 2 bottles. Some cruise lines, i.e. P&O Straya do not permit byo. I like your handiwork Don, I hope the cruise lines don't pick up on it. eeeek. Yep, I have done cruises where you could bring on anything, i.e. P&O UK Arcadia, Sydney to Southampton in 2012, brought on grog every port. As you said things have changed now, the cruise line bean counters see all the revenue they are losing by permitting byo.
