Belfast Castle Posted October 23, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2007 anyone tell me a bit about this - and canbring any wine not consumed at dinner to my stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzLA Posted October 23, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, you can bring any wine not consumed where ever you want. We would bring ours into the shows after dinner, or to our room. But might I recommend that the wine list on the ship is much more extensive with a better selection than the pre-order list. Wait till you get on the ship. You will have a much better selection.

tomko2 Posted October 23, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The wine package is good value; you have the option of leaving your unfinished wine in the dining room for the next evening (your waiter will ensure it is placed in ice bucket near your table (white) or on the table (red) or you can take the unfinished bottle back to your cabin. The choices on all three tiers are reasonable; best to book onboard when you embark. If you have any unfinished bottles (:eek: ) at the end of the cruise; you ask for them to be brought to you unopened during the last dinner and just take them home with you. Champagne is one of the wine selections so you might think of bringing a re-corker so you could take it to your room and enjoy mimosa's in the morning.....

Majesty Fan Posted October 23, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2007 We did the wine package on our cruise to Hawaii. We did the Diamond package for the 5 bottles. It worked out well and the wines were very good most nights we finished the bottle. yes you can take it to the cabin. Lexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacationer17 Posted October 23, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Is there a way to keep the wine/champagne chilled til morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocorobabe Posted October 23, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yes. Ask your cabin attendant to get you an ice bucket. We always get a balcony and those rooms have a refrigerator I do not know if the ocean view or interior rooms have one, but it should hold in the ice bucket Mocorobabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted October 23, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The wine packages are very good values, but the trade-off is that your selection is very limited. When you first board the ship you will see the wine stewards usually set-up right outside the lunch buffet area with a list of the various wine packages. You can take your time, review the selections vs the complete wine list and make your decision. You can even wait until dinner to buy the package (its available at the table from your waiter). When we are on longer RCI cruises (10 days or longer) we will often buy the package for 7 days and use the wine list for the other nights. Its the best of both worlds.
