Beverages on SeaDream

Hi,

Longtime lurker and first time poster here ... thinking of making the jump from Seabourn to SeaDream and wondering if you can advise me on the beverage selection on board?

Is it similar to Seabourn?

Champagne? Spirits? (brands?)

Sorry if this has been asked previously, I cannot locate that thread.

Thanks, CB

Although I've not sailed Seabourn, I suspect the choices on SD are similar. They do have some liquors that are an upcharge, but not many. I was always happy with the scotch choices (including single malts), although for Glenlivit and Glenfiddich, one is an upcharge and the other isn't (I can never remember which). I think some have complained that certain vodkas are an upcharge as well. They do have champagne (generally Jacquet?)

I've always been perfectly happy with the choices, but there are those who will say the wine choices could be better (although the premium list is quite good), so your mileage may vary. Others can give you more detail, I'm sure.

Thanks for the great response! Much appreciated :)

4, 6 & 12.

So sorry "cruising boy".....please let HH know your favourite tipple/s and HH will check (currently onboard).

Ho-Hum, Can you see if they serve Dalwhinnie Scotch. We are thinking of booking one of the April Seadream II sailings and my husband would be so happy if they have his scotch onboard.

Thanks so much,

Hi Andreakull,

The good news is they have 15 yo Dalwhinnie.

The bad news is it cost $10 a pour.

Well it is a premium brand and great taste if you dont mind HH saying.

Thanks Ho Hum.

Can you advise what the standard champagne served across the yacht is? I assume this is part of the 'included' beverages ...

They charged for Grey Goose (back early last Summer) - which I found disappointing.

Thanks Ho Hum.

The House Champagne is "JACQUART" of Reims.

Comprising of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier.

It has some extra bottle age above and beyond the usual 3 years and so is drinking very well with no caustic apple notes.

It is a low price champagne but currently "punching well above it's weight".

Yes it is a free pouring drink but best to ask for champagne as they will proffer a sparkling wine.

HH,

One of my new favorite drink is Calvados! Any on board?

More specifically, ( Roger Groult 8 years or better )?

My Dad who is a vet, remembers this drink well... 😉

HH shares your disappointment but we will stand together and "brave it out".

Allow HH to buy you a GG should we ever meet dear friend.

There is calvados. I don't recall the brand but I would bet it is "fine" rather than "extra."

Happy to be corrected if those on board find out more.

Fpebbles,

Thanks! Great to know! Not super fussy...since I am new to Calvados and only know a couple of brands. I am sure what ever Seadream has will be yummy! 🍸

Thank you! I know this one well! Never had it while sitting at the TOY bar!

@stines: Don't believe anything!

Before gcmv booked the cruise on SD II, ho-hum lured gcmv onboard with the promise to buy a nice Riesling for him, but ... (this sentence to be finished by ho-hum) :D

...but there was not a Riesling worthy of his high standing or that of frau gcmv's either !!'

Haha

Perfect answer, ho-hum - that's the point, gcmv wanted to hear. :)

And now - back to topic: @cruising boy - you see, the white wine selection could be much better onboard SD ... ;)
