I don't know if you can get a bottle of champagne while on Labadee. However you can get one from a bar or room ser:rolleyes:vice or your wine package while on board the ship, and take it to Labadee.

Now why didn't I think of that! All I need is an ice chest and viola, there is one in the cabana from what I've read..

Thanks, I owe you a drink!

Royal is not specifying what the house wines are. I think they want the flexibilty to serve whatever they want. It would be very simple (like Celebrity) to specify all wines by the glass up to some fixed value, but they are choosing not to do it that way.

Well that is just crazy. I am not taking a chance on a 9 day cruise that the ONE thing I love is crap. I can give up liquor but I want my "bubbly" and wine, so guess I will go with the wine package..

Anyhow for 5 days we will be in port off on excursions, so I would not even use the drink package til after 5pm! Labadee - can I get a bottle of champagne for the cabanna I was lucky to snag on Nellies - anyone know about that?

I think it is wiser for me to space my drinks out during the day when at sea and stick with wine, ...even though it looks like they even changed the Platinum wine to just average anyway. Don't understand their logic, but hey, I am not in the biz.

I am debating the premium package; however I don't know what the house wines are and I like wine more than alcoholic drinks; ie. I'd drink a mimosa, some champagne, maybe a couple gin and tonics; but mostly wine.

When buying the wine package and they bring the wine bottle to the table (so I dont have to keep waiting for someone to pour me a glass) inevitably someone eyes it ( I go with a group) and of course I have to be polite and offer a glass. Not a cheapskate, but I can't afford to spread the wine around you know! I liked the wine package because (last time) they had some decent wines on it.

Having said that, if I buy the premium ALCOHOL (not wine) package, what ARE the house wines; anyone know? I hear they are not good, but I don't know the names. Thought I'd buy a bottle or two and test them out before commitment.

A bottle on the WINE package is $ 27,29,30 depending on how many nights and which package, 5, 7, 10...So I could essentially go through 2 bottles a day if I have champagne and red (I will take some back to room for before dinner etc drinks) If I do that I might as well pay $55 for the premium package..

BUT I will go crazy if I am spending 9 nights with cheap red wine!!:mad:

Thanks for any info!!!
