The sample wine menus for each restaurant are listed on the Oceania site- the basic wines listed for the GDR and Terrace are the same for every restaurant, but each specialty restaurant has a few of their own in addition to the basic. Click on each restaurant and see the sample food menus and wine menus in the lower right side.

Hi Arema

So helpful Arema. Many thanks. Thats information that Oceania here could not come up with. On board I suppose the list is priced. :)

Hi Flatbush - thanks for the update. You've cleared that there will be "better" wines in the restaurant, at a price of course, :-) . But it's a great help to know its possible you can buy before you go onboard and pay the corkage. I need make sure I pickup a ship in places where wine is easy to buy, like your place and mone. Thanks again

I found your post very helpful and interesting - many thanks but I would love to ask another question please. For the first time I hear there are wine lists in all the restaurants. Woud you comment please on the standard? Is the $40 entry equivalent to those in the 7 botttle package and is the $100 bottle a much higher standard. Sorry that's 2 questions.:):)

The "7 wines package" you mention is a wine by the bottle package that is offered on the day of boarding and only that day- you are given a list of red and white wines that you must select not more and not less than 7 bottles to be used during the cruise- price per bottle is around $48, including gratuity. These wines are different than the "by the glass" wine package that is offered in a choice of 2 packages. The 7 bottle package is also different from the wine by the bottle menu that is offered in each of the restaurants with prices ranging from about $40 to over $100, plus gratuity.

I'd rather bring my own wine on board and pay the $25 corkage fee than buy the 7 bottle package of wines that generally retail for less than $12 in US stores.

 

I see from another thread that you stated that you are looking at sailing on Marina out of Southampton- I certainly would bring my own wine on board since you have local sources for good wines. We did that cruise in 2015 (12 days then) and brought 6 bottles of wine on board at Southampton and replenished at a number of other ports. We sailed again in July 2017 from Southampton to Norway - brought our own wine on board again.

On Oceania, you can bring as many wine bottles as you wish onboard. No limit, just pay $25 corkage if you wish to drink at dinner or in bar, they will hold your bottles for you. Otherwise, it is free to bring onboard, and drink in Suite/Cabin. As far as the $ pkg, please as above, come over to the O board, and search on wine pkg, there are many posts listing the bottle selection already on the forum.

Many thanks Cruseforme - I was told by Oceania I was limited to 3 bottles to take on board. But if no limit that would be great as the $25 corkage is way better than $47.50 for a $10 wine.

I'd really appreciate it if any experience cruisers could update me on Oceanias wines. The wine package offered at $47.50 a bottle include a lot of $10 on shore wines that I would be unlikely to buy to go with an upmrket dinner. I am not sure if these same wines are the "house wines" either. Is there a better list of wines, certainly at a higher price, that I can buy by the bottle on board in the general restaurants? Thanks anyone. :)
