I recently paid $32 per person, which included the gratuity.
We don’t have the beverage package. If we did I might skip.
At that price I think it is worth it. We’ve done it before so we have an idea of what to expect. I don’t think I would spend much more.
As others have said it can be a bit of a zoo. You get to try several OK wines and talk to other passengers about wine and the wine stewards who sometimes know what they are talking about.
DO NOT expect expensive wines. Probably all below $15 - $20 at your local wine shop.
To put things into perspective, I have never spent over $100 for a bottle of wine (except ports), and maybe buy 5 bottles a year over $40. So I like wine and going to wineries for tasting but tend to buy in the $15 to $35 range at wine shops/wineries. I guess that translates to $60-$150 shipboard prices.
