It's a good Washington state grown and produced wine. I've had some crap from the Loyalty Ambassador so they do have sub par bottles, but never for the amenity. I'm taking Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio and Todd is taking Robert Mondavi Rum Barrel Merlot, our faves. Dug this out… you’re correct, not bad…not bad at all. 🥰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought cases! I think it was 2012. yummy. But we happily consume a Walmart wine Liberty Creek and think its a good solid table wine. Really cheap!

I think it was 2012. yummy. I've never had it before. I had a little chuckle when I went in to get a bottle of wine and was looking through the bottles and this popped out. I was like hmmmm... this is what BecciBoo was talking about! ☺️ So, I thought I'd give it a try. It is truly pretty good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the system will not have time to update I know we have to go to the LA onboard Oasis to have our status updated. Would the LA also have access to any of the D+ Amenities right there to give us one when I'm having him/her make the change or are we just out of luck this first cruise? You have not because you ask not........ASK! I can't say here the number of requests we have made that were honored by RCCL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted September 9 #82 Share Posted September 9 (edited) The best I've ever tasted, we had by the glass on Liberty of the Seas, Caymus Cab, We had a BOBO so we ordered it, it was $60 a glass so 2 for that price, our friend Douglas ran all over the ship looking for chocolate to go with it and brought some to us...I couldn't believe how good it was since I didn't believe in those overpriced snob wines, but dang it was good... haven't had it since YUM These days, we don't drink a ton of wine, but our favorite is still the Mondavi Rum barrel merlot, you gotta try that. No bite. Edited September 9 by BecciBoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they will update everything for you. We have never had any issues with changing our amenities or status during the cruise that it was earned for the next one.

jjtt Posted September 10 #85 Share Posted September 10 BecciBoo... my all time favorite wine is also Robert Mondavi but the Bourbon Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon. I never liked red wine, only drank white. Then one day a friend said to try this red wine and the rest is history. Now everyone knows I'm a Robert girl. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted September 10 #86 Share Posted September 10 19 hours ago, BND said: We get the Pino Grigio (3 bottles for 6+ day cruises). I miss the days of being able to select it online. It's a pain to call and change so we keep it the same. A couple of years ago I called and changed it but since DH is the primary (first listed) his didn't change so they didn't use my changes. We had the LA fix it for us, but come one, it would be so much easier to just do it ourselves. We only get the one bottle on six days....did that change? Seven plus days...we get the 3 bottles.

I made a mistake. It is 7 and up. We haven't done 6 days, just 5 and 7+up and I thought I read it was 6+. On a 7 day cruise, getting 3 bottles, we usually end up bringing one off the ship which works great when we stay somewhere afterwards. I just don't need any of the other items they have for gifts. We already have beach towels, coozies and don't need some of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, actually Todd prefers it but since I just love the rum barrel, we get it mostly. I drink Grigios or Chardonnays predominantly along with a good Prosecco with which I make my Mimosas.

So, the same as BOGO for 2 glasses, but you don't have to get them at the same time. 50% off any glass of wine, beer or soda (2 coupons per sailing)1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8 night is like 7 nights...full &7+ night amenities....but the 6 night they treat like a mini cruise. A lot of things missing. Coincidence? Hmmm.....

We're actually doing 6,8,6 b2b2b on AD in Mar/Apr. But for 20 nights we'll get 5 bottles of wine. I think that might be enough with our 6 vouchers/day lol (first cruises as P). I do think it's weird they default to one instead of say 2 for 6 nights. But, for our upcoming b2b 7 night cruises on Wonder, we'll get 6 bottles so the math is a bit strange.

They drop to just one bottle from the 3 if you have a six night...missing the mark by the one night. Since we are on for the full 14 nights total, as we would for two 7 night cruise....I still think it's something RCI loves to do...finding more ways for cut backs when they do 6/8s. 😉 Of course no upper tier, and no Pinnie lunch either for those six night legs as I seem to remember. Been awhile since we did one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been awhile since we did one. I understand your point, but there's also the miss on the other end of the scale. I do 14 night TAs and I only get the amenities once, whereas if it was treated as a 7+7, I'd get them twice. You actually get more on 6/8 than I do on 14. But, I'm not going to complain about free stuff. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted September 12 #96 Share Posted September 12 One amenity for fewer than 7 nights, but still just 3 amenities for more than 7. We've had a 17 night cruise and just 3 amenities. I guess those on the world cruise segments had the same issue. With that said, with all the other C&A beverages, we never seem to run out.
