glojo Posted August 27 #1 Share Posted August 27 Hi I would like to know the latest Cunard Queens Grille policy regarding complimentary drinks please. Is it two bottles of wine per cruise or possibly be two per day. I am not a great wine drinker and much prefer a Guinness followed by a glass of rum 😑 Thanks very much John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted August 27 #2 Share Posted August 27 It's 2 of your choice from a selection of spirits or wine for in cabin consumption. If you don't drink wine, you can have rum. It may be 1 bottle for a short cruise. They are usually replaced once consumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Victoria2 Posted August 27 #4 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Thanks Host Hattie, I don't know if the In Suite selections are across the fleet or ship particular but I would add, we had no issue getting as much Peronni and Heinecken Zero as we wanted, replenished as and when so I would have thought Guinness wouldn't be a problem. The wine [ our gin lasted two weeks] was also replenished daily or when nearing half empty if that helps, glojo. edit so rum would also be replenished as and when.

glojo Posted August 28 Author #5 Share Posted August 28 Thank you both very much for the very informative replies. We are going on just a nineteen day cruise so a bottle of rum might last two or three hours. If however I want to enjoy this cruise and not be carried off in an alcoholic stupor, then just the one bottle will be more than adequate. I remember once when dining at the captain's table, I asked for a glass of Guinness, the other guests looked at me in total disbelief. Their eyes all looked like mini ping pong balls, the captain however looked at me with a big grin and said.... ,Finally, finally I can enjoy my favourite beer' 😊 The rest of the evening was a huge success, our table was the last to leave having taken a hint from the waiters who were all resetting the tables for breakfast but I confess this was pre covid .

Cunard still hasn’t corrected this egregious oversight…for those from Kentucky. On QE, they offered Jim Beam and not Jack and not as much gin selections. BTW, the bottles served in QG suites are not small sample-sized nor 500 ml bottles but full liters of booze. We took home the remaining Jim Beam and Campari.

I haven’t had to buy any gin for years, thanks to Cunard and my not drinking vast amounts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare s.s.France Posted August 28 #8 Share Posted August 28 I never had a problem requesting and getting something different than offered on the menu for the grills minibar. Like a different sort of Whisky for instance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e&mcruise Posted August 29 #9 Share Posted August 29 When in Australian waters they cheapen out with things like Baileys and replace it with Mollys (yuck!!) and are unwilling to exchange for something specifically requested (asked for limoncello or chambord) even in QG. Love being considered a 2nd class citizen when you are paying a few of thousand $$$ a day. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
