Sailaway John Posted May 7, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi all, cruising in 2 weeks on Pacific Dawn and would like to hear any recommendations and prices re the wine list that is on the ship. We like to have a bottle with dinner each night and possibly have a bottle in the cabin for when we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushtail Posted May 7, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi John, We bought a bottle of Seahorse Chardonnay each evening for $18.00. It was ok. I had never heard of it before and checked out the label. It is bottled in Wollongong which broke my Hunter Valley heart. :eek: :p Phil bought a bottle of Donelli Lambrusco for about the same price.

On the Pacific Sun this year (Feb/Mar and April/May) Seahorse Chardonnay and Seahorse Shiraz were $20. There will be particular wines recommended on the menu, but you an select anything from the full wine list. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megagirl Posted May 7, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Yeah, we have the Seahorse Bay Chardonnay and Shiraz too. Also what you don't finish at dinner one night, they will keep for you for the next night. Perhaps that won't happen very often for you. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Wish I was going along.

Brushtail Posted May 7, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2008 He liked it Gail. I am not keen on red wine and will only drink it if the white is all gone. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to have a bottle with dinner each night and possibly have a bottle in the cabin for when we need it. We were on the Pacific Sun last year & went to a wine tasting. This cost us $9.50 each but we were then able to pre purchase wine at $5 off per bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to share a couple between Phil and me:p Cheers Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Devils Posted May 8, 2008 #11 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi there, The wine prices were fair, Mr Devil isn't really a wine drinker, so I'd often get a glass or two, they come in small and large, starting around $6-ish to 8-ish, depending on what you have, if you're going to have more than 3 between you, best to go for a bottle. You can recork and take back to your room or have the next night, they'll label it and look after it. We did develop a bit of a taste for the old Asti Riccadonna, even Mr D indulged, but obviously you can't recork that. I think it was around $32/$33? I did go to the wine tasting, and even if you're not into that, it was very entertaining, more of a floorshow, and you get to see the wine waiters break out their personalities, absolutely hilarious. The bonus is you can buy wines a bit cheaper. Some stocked up a little. You also get a few nibblies to go with it, interesting, and worth the $9.90 to attend. The Devils.
