onelifetolive2 Posted October 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2007 for wine? I am the only wine drinker and trying to figure out if it would be cheaper for me to buy a glass with dinner each night or buy a bottle and just have them store it for the next night, etc. We will be on a 5 nighter and figure a bottle will get me about 5 small glasses. I don't drink otherwise so not really an issue... just trying to see what is the most economical way! Also, if anyone knows, how many strawberrys do you get when you buy the champagine and strawberry combo for the first night? How much extra is the corking fee? Trying to see if I want to buy the combo or buy the strawberrys seprate from the bottle. I know, I am silly... but trying to think like DH and get the bang out of the buck... otherwise I really don't care! I just get what I like and look at the price later...lol Thanks everyone!

AdMaven Posted October 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2007 DH had a glass of wine at dinner and it was $6.33 but I don't know if that included an additional tip. Of course I don't even remember what wine it was--I think it was a Cabernet Sauvignon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted October 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2007 My daughter got wine each evening and they were about 7 or 8$ depending on what she ordered and that included a 15 % tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onelifetolive2 Posted October 15, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Thank you! Looks like it will be cheaper to buy a whole bottle. Does anyone know about the strawberrys and champaign? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmcrzer Posted October 15, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The difference in glass vs. bottle price really depends on the wine itself. Also, if you plan to only drink one glass a night and you buy a bottle, the first night's glass is going to taste way better than the last night's glass. I prefer to order wines by the glass if it is just one for a night. We bought a bottle and had half at Chops and half in the dining room the next night. I definitely could tell a taste difference since the wine had been opened. For me, I would rather pay the extra dollar or so each day for a fresh glass of wine. I know there is know guarantee how long that particular bottle has been open, but I didn't have a problem with it on my cruise last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcronier Posted October 15, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Definately cheaper to buy a bottle of wine. We do this everytime, because both my husband and I enjoy wine with our dinner meal. As far as the strawberries question - we had strawberries and the such in our room on the last cruise - it was very good, and there seemed to be plenty for my husband and I. Hope that helps. tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted October 15, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 15, 2007 It is cheaper to buy the bottle and have them pour you a glass every night. Strawberries are either 4 or 8 depending on what your order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
