Have two upcoming cruises on X, joining dear friends taking their last cruises (health). They're Zenith, too, but in a SS the first leg, then PH on second. I want both cruises to be memorable and special....in a good way. Since she likes certain wines, I'll write. After these two cruises, I am voting with my $ (Oceania and Regent). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shiba_Lover Posted December 24, 2023 #52 Share Posted December 24, 2023 You all are probably upset for no reason. On my last cruise, they were out of all the wines, so since we couldn't actually get wine, no real worries over the cost, right🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're telling me it's $19 for a glass of Villa Maria savvy blanc now? I just bought a few bottles at £8.50 ($10.78) each. That's quite some mark up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check out post Live from the Summit- Xmas At Sea Dec 21-26 there are pictures of bar menu that clearly showVilla Maria Sauvignon Blanc for $15.

tonto524 Posted December 24, 2023 #56 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I was wrong about the Villa - it’s $15 now, up a “mere” $3 from earlier in the month. The Conundrum blends, however, DO now cost $19, per friends currently on the Equinox. Please let us know what happens when you’re on the Connie, as I sail in early February. Thanks.

39august Posted December 24, 2023 #57 Share Posted December 24, 2023 NC Fred- Apparently the list X sent you is out of date. Decoy and Conundrum are now $19 per several people currently on board different ships. However, if I were cruising soon and had this list, I would print it and take with, just to see what response I might get on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Fred Posted December 24, 2023 #58 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I have printed out the list as it is stated in the quote earlier. In addition I have the complete email dated Dec. 22nd on my phone. BTW, it mentions my specific cruise, Jan 12th. I will be well armed when I make my pitch. Last year, same type situation. The menu's and App had different prices. Our Sommelier, after pointing out the difference, only charged the the lower price for the entire cruise.

39august Posted December 24, 2023 #59 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Good for you! We won't board until Jan. 18. I hope you can post something about your experience before we leave on Jan. 17. We will give a good look at menus vs. app on our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, the website also still shows Decoy and Conundrum as included in the premium package! So not just a poor move overall, but false advertising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoyed it, and it is one of the reasons we upgraded to PBP during the Black Friday sale for our upcoming cruises. Disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
