Yes, 25% discount WITH a package, but you will pay an additional 18% gratuity on that bottle. Not much savings.

I have never been charged a gratuity when buying bottles of wine in the MDR

Interesting... 

 

We were given the 25% discount in Vines on Ruby, and then charged an 18% gratuity because "it was not included in the Plus Package".  A whopping 7% off a $50 bottle... 😲

I have only ordered bottles in the MDR not Vines. In Vines I order a glass and pay the 18% only on any overage

For those that bring their own wine glasses on board,  how do you clean them?

I bring a glass brush & lint free towel for drying if sailing out of my home port.  But if not I rough it using washcloths. I use very hot water and no soap if it’s crystal. Sometimes they have to adjust the water temp up in the sink. But lately I have been bringing a good quality thin lipped non crystal glass that I can use dish soap to clean. A tiny bottle of dish soap is easy to put in with my toiletries
