NanoGirl21 Posted October 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2022 We will be going to the steakhouse on the first night on Mardi Gras. Anyone know which bottles of wines are complementary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted October 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2022 There is a choice of white or red. They don’t mention the specific brand or type, just white or red. They also offer 50% off a bottle of any wine on their menu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe817 Posted October 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2022 On our Dream cruise this past Sept., we ate in the steakhouse on the 3rd night, and we were offered a free bottle of wine. After talking to our waiter we decided on the red, as both of us ordered the filet. And it was really, really good. But we aren't wine drinkers, but this wine paired perfectly.

nwcruiselover Posted October 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I’m a non drinker, so the wine isn’t important to me, but friends I have dined with have ordered the free red and white, and they said the wine was good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Dog Posted October 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Enjoyed the free wine last month on Liberty. We are not "Wine Spectator" types, so we found it enjoyable. However, if you are an aficionado, 50% off anything on the wine list is a fantastic deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted October 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 29, 2022 If they have an open bottle of the free wine, ask for a taste first. If you don't like it, opt for a bottle of better wine at 50% off. We did the free wine once, tried it a second time and paid 50% off for Kendall Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon, and never tried the free wine again. But different palates, who knows? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) I have ordered more than one bottle at 50% off when having first night dinner at the Steakhouse (5 on one cruise) and they will store them and bring them out when requested, like at MDR or JiJi's, etc. Doesn't hurt to ask if you can order more than one bottle which is a better deal than Cruising the Vineyards.😊 Edited October 29, 2022 by ninjacat123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65Mommy Posted October 29, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 29, 2022 We have found Carnival is more of a "beer" experience and less of wine enthusiasts, but it has been a few years since we have tried Carinval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theckenlady Posted October 29, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The free wine is $5 or less at any store on land. Don't go just for the free wine, its awful! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafem Posted October 30, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 30, 2022 We were given the free wine and the option of purchasing as many bottles as we wanted at 50%. So we did. Many many bottles! Utilized for the entire cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ColeThornton Posted October 30, 2022 #13 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The brand of red wine is something named "Ripple". It may be French, I'm not sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pronounced "ree-play" like "fra-gee-lay" ala Christmas Story movie.🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
