Paying the difference to access top shelf beverages.

[Xrayal]

I have the Premier package for my next sailing.  Can I pay the difference to access top shelf beverages?

 

For example, I think Caymus Cab Sav is $28/glass in vines.  The package is for drinks up $20.  Can I pay the $8 difference (plus gratuity) or do I have to pay the full price?

 

Does the premier package offer any discount on bottles of wine?

8 plus 18 percent.

And 25% discount on bottled wine.

Yes. For any alcoholic beverage in excess of the US$20 menu price you pay the difference plus 8%.

25% discount on bottles of wine.

You can carry on 1 x 750ml bottle of wine per adult at no charge for use in the cabin. A lot less expensive then purchasing on board.

Where are you boarding? Someone on this board could advise about stores near the port.

I've done it. Treated myself to a nice single malt and paid the difference. Enjoy!
