For a week I brought 30+.  

I have to agree, we were blessed with amazing weather for the first week, I hope you have similar weather for the return.  I just made it home from our week with you from Vancouver to Seward. Great trip.

Gotta say Velvet was amazing! See it if you haven't

Hmm, I don't think anyone is saying they aren't allowed to have it, they just have to pay extra, which isn't the same thing as disallowing it. If it's worth that much, why not drop the P+ and just pay as you go, or better yet, bring your own onboard, which is MUCH cheaper.

Ok, this the last time I am posting in this thread.  People aren't getting it.  1. It isn't about going cheaper 2. It is the bait and switch.  3. Getting a package before your sailing and finding out something you bought the package for is no longer offered and an alternative isn't offered.  4. If those that bought the package wanted to pay more we wouldn't have upgraded to the p+. We wanted what was listed to be included. Now they are not.

Agreed that is the most condescending and flat out stupid comment I have read on this forum.  Why would you 1. Spend the time to click on this thread and 2. Post about how you think it is a waste money essentially? When we want better booze because we don't want iced tea and want what was sold to us?  It is not us demanding something, it is the bait and switch.  

They kept pouring when asked, but no to the bottle. I can ask when I get a chance

Anybody got any more updates? Were you able to speak to a supervisor? We booked the premium plus package too and were looking forward to the champagne .....

Got a pretty solid Veuve is by the bottle only, I do have to say I like the pommery rose a lot and Veuve by the glass is available in Le Bistro.  Had two glasses with dinner lastnight

Just boarded the jewel as of may 1, Veuve is by the bottle only. Charge

Agreed. The rose is a good champagne, but there should be a non-rose alternative. 

Not really... The rose is is a rose. Moet or another champagne would be. I will survive. But still, my wife isn't happy.

Do you realize in the grand scheme of life how trivial this is?  It is hard to read this thread and not laugh at loud at the sense of entitlement.  

Glad people amuse you.  This is just how we feel. True it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things... But bait and switch or change of terms after we have bought in is annoying.

I don’t understand what some people feel calling customer service is going to get them.  It sounds like the ships will not have Veuve on board.  Not that they have it and just won’t give it to you.  Do you expert them to bring aboard a case just for you?  Don’t get me wrong, I love Veuve too, and we always upgrade our package, but also for the upgraded bourbons and gins.  

What I expect is to have an alternative

I wonder about how they put the tiers together.  Screwball ($25) is on the plus package and yet Johnnie Black and Chivas which cost more are on the regular.  I’m sure there are other examples but this one stuck out to me. 

I agree, kind of screwy

I could take or leave Veuve, but I would like to get a nicer champagne option in exchange.  It was a selling point. Just like macallan quest and enigma. If I have them say sorry we can't serve you that as we are saving it for tasting flights... I will get very upset and have a chat with the bev manager.  

I am just going to screen shot this from the app and point it out when I ask for veuve and what are they going to sub it with....

Agreed it is still worth it to me, but still annoyed by the Veuve being taken off without a real substitute.  

I am just surprised that they are pulling this after having Veuve so prominently placed and listed and that is why I bought it ahead of time.  Not offering a champagne as a premium offering is stupid.  A rose is not what I consider an alternative champagne.

Yes! 

Not to hijack this thread, but you said your dad smokes cigars right? What does he usually smoke?

Well I am hopeful.... My wife will be piiiiiiissssssed. You will be on the may 1 sailing also right?

Arrow, maybe try calling the number they gave me in the above post and see if they will honor the list that was there at the time of your purchase.

I am going to call tomorrow morning.... 

Are they offering Veuve with the premium plus package or is vueve even listed by the glass?

Fyi looks like Veuve got taken off the list of champagnes....I am pissed. Sailing Monday on the jewel 

Kinda angry about this...  I also upgraded for the higher end scotchs.  But for them to pull it just as I am about to go on my sailing on Monday.... Not happy 

Well crap, you are right the latest premium plus doesn't list vueve, even though it does in the app. I signed up for the package because it does have Veuve for my wife. Wth, calling tomorrow to see what can be done. This is dumb

Where did you read that?
