Muckyduckway Posted April 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2023 We will be eligible for the Platinum dining vouchers on our next cruise. For the voucher that includes a bottle of wine, are there any wines that aren't already available by the glass on the standard drinks package?

In my experience, yes, there are wines that aren’t generally available by the glass. The selection does vary though, and the supply issues mean that there are sometimes replacements. We usually take the bottle unopened to drink on our balcony. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted April 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2023 @Muckyduckway There must be some, as we take a bottle of Muscato, to bring home, and drink other wines from the normal list while on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negn Posted April 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Your selections are limited. You choose from a special wine menu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muckyduckway Posted April 30, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Was hoping that would be the case. Although bringing it back to an inside isn't quite as appealing as to a balcony! Would there be a difference in availability in different restaurants or a general list per ship? I don't NEED to know this, just that looking forward to a cruise tends to trigger a load of pondering!

Examples: Since the restart, they have been tailoring their wine menus to what they have on hand. Supply chain issues have limited the wines onboard.

KDebreuil Posted June 5, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2023 When the wine steward brings the list, I usually ask them for a suggestion, or if there is a certain style, if I have one in mind. I've received bottles that are not on the list, and never been charged. I think they may have some discretionary leeway on this. I'm not trying to find a way to get a better deal, usually just looking to have something to enjoy with the meal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMateJRK Posted June 5, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Recently in Cagney's, the waiter brought that list and told us that there are only three on the list that aren't already free with the beverage package. So, we chose one of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkay1 Posted June 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I usually just get the Prosecco and bring it home to use in Aperol Spritz's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libtrek Posted June 6, 2023 #13 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Question. We have 2 dinners as part of package and 2 for platinum. I was told to use platinum benefit first for Moderno. Plan to use the other for Cagneys. Do we automatically get the wine with Moderno or can we wait for Cagneys? Le Bistro and Cucina are our other restaurants.

Make sure you bring your little coupon to your platinum dinner. It will be in your room when you first get on the boat. One of those will say it's dinner and bottle of wine, while the other doesn't. You'll understand when you see them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having forgotten it on my last cruise, I now plan to put them in my wallet when I first see them.😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
