Swabb3 Posted November 4, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks for the info. Something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted November 4, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Just this morning, I was going over the wine list at rccl.com and have an order form filled out for wine. I haven't sent it in as of now. Although some of our choices aren't on your list, we could adjust. It seems as though there is the value of one free bottle of wine with this package. We would definitely wait for this :) Edit: Where are my manners? I should have said thank you for posting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted November 4, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks for posting. We are trying to decide if we should buy a package. I know the wines aren't great and that we can no longer bring wine onboard. Happy KS, My understanding is that you can only order the wine package on day 1 onboard. That's what has been posted previously. Some people asked about getting more than one package (for a group) and the posters said that they had to be ordered the first day. I don't know from my own experience though. Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted November 4, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks for this. I never order the wine package because I'm just not in the mood to think about it when I board (too many other fun things to think about :p ). I'll have time now to review the list and figure out if it makes sense and which one to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted November 5, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Thanks Katie :) To the OP: I've printed off a copy of what you have posted, we'll go over my selections (from RCI gifts list) and the ones offered here on your list before we make our decision. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumbaamd Posted November 5, 2006 #7 Share Posted November 5, 2006 We received our documents for our 11/19 Grandeur cruise 2 weeks ago. In the doc's was this: "Coming Soon - order your 'Wine & Dine' package on-line, before you leave home!" When is "soon"? Don't know, but keep it in mind.

LRene Posted November 5, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Two questions on the Wine & Dine Package: 1. Where do you order on the first day? 2. Is there a way to get access to a bottle/s to have in your cabin? Room service? At any of the bars? Can you order extra at dinner and ask them not to open them and then take them to the cabin?

laxdef10 Posted November 5, 2006 #9 Share Posted November 5, 2006 You can order Wine off the wine list on rcl's website and they will put it in your room, they actually have better selection than the wine packages. I think room service can bring wine too. only question i have is that TA is giving us wine, will that be in the room or dinning room? if its put in the room can we take it to the dinning room? i prefer dinning room over room.

BuyReallyLow Posted November 6, 2006 #10 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Two questions on the Wine & Dine Package: 1. Where do you order on the first day? There are booths available just outside the dining room before dinner the first night. There is also normally another table with the items for sale - near the Prominade (depends on ship) and various other locations. 2. Is there a way to get access to a bottle/s to have in your cabin? Room service? At any of the bars? Can you order extra at dinner and ask them not to open them and then take them to the cabin? We have never had them delivered to the cabin. We have had them in the bars and specialty restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypo Posted November 21, 2006 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2006 We have had wine delivered to the cabin from our TA, pre-cruise. On our last cruise, April 2006 on the Rhapsody, we received a special incentive package of 6 bottles of wine and 1 bottle of champagne from our TA. When we opened the door to our cabin all 7 bottles of wine were sitting on the desk, each in its own ice bucket and about a half dozen wine glasses and a corkscrew. The wine we received was LaTerre brand and was essentially the "house"wine, the Chardonnay was drinkable. We took it to the dining room, and they tried to charge us a corkage fee, I protested, since it was their wine, purchased from Royal Caribbean. The head waiter got involved and said I was correct and there was no corkage fee. Also, we were allowed to exchange unopened bottles for a better wine of our choice, we just had to pay the difference in price. We usually got a Gewurztrameiner. If you have any wine remaining in the bottle at the end of dinner, they will offer to hold it for you till the next evening, or, you can just ask for the cork and take it back to your cabin.

isujim Posted November 21, 2006 #14 Share Posted November 21, 2006 A month ago when we got our documents on our Radiance PC cruise there was a note that said "coming soon" you will be able to order your wine package through the RC website prior to your sailing. I don't know when they are going to implement this or if they have........but it was quite clear that in the near future you will be able to order the wine and dine package of your choice prior to sailing.

CaptData Posted November 21, 2006 #15 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I was just on Freedom and received wine from TA (7 Bottles). One of my group brought it to the Table from the room. You must tell them that it is from their Wine Cellar so you do not pay the $12.00 corkage fee. However, someone else just phoned housekeeping and had them take their to the Dining Room and told them it was RCCL wine. No one in the group paid corkage. I would talk to your TA and tell them you want it delivered to the Dining Room. Then if you want one bottle for the room just ask for it in the Dining Room not to be opened and take it back to your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epaul3 Posted December 17, 2006 #16 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Does anyone know if there is a different wine package for a 4 night cruise? Or do you just have to order the five bottles and save some? Thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestchesterCruiseFan Posted December 17, 2006 #18 Share Posted December 17, 2006 If you purchase a wine and dine package and decide to eat in Portofino or Chops one or two evenings, does the package "follow" you to the alternative restaurants and if not, are you credited for the night or nights you don't use it?

Nanatravel Posted December 17, 2006 #19 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Yes you can order a bottle of wine when dining in Chops or Portofino's when you have purchased the Wine Package. Your Sign & Sail card will have a sticker on it. Your waiter can place the order at the alternative restaurant. However, I do not recommend that you wait for an "open" bottle to be brought from the dining room to the alternative restaurant. It can take "forever".

You can take a bottle from the dining room back to your cabin...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted December 17, 2006 #22 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Just thinking (I do that on a Sunday afternoon), if the wine package is ordered, does your waiter get the tip? I assume the package price is plus tip and would hope that my waiter would receive the tip. Don't suppose anyone knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitaxi Posted December 18, 2006 #24 Share Posted December 18, 2006 is that new??

Bon Voyage It's never taken long for us to get an open bottle to the specialty restaurants. Make sure your D/R waiter knows you won't be in there that evening, otherwise it will be in the dining room waiting for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
