Sbladybug Posted October 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Is it possible to drink a selection from your wine package at sail away? I was just about to order a bottle of champagne from "gifts & gear" to be delivered to our room but I noticed the champagne is a selection available on our wine package. I might just increase our wine package from 7 to 10 if we can use a bottle at the sail away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried wine package before dinner lst night. I'd play it safe. They will be busy boarding. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchick Posted October 12, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think that the wines on the package are only available when the dining room is open, except for a limited number sold in the Windjammer. I don't know if your champagne is on that list. I would order from Gifts & Gear for your sailaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCLRULES Posted October 12, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I usually call the F&B Mgr once we board. He then will make sure we are able to get what we need whenever we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 12, 2010 #6 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I don't think you can order one bottle to your cabin and the rest to the dining room. And if you order the wine pkg. to your cabin and take a bottle to any dining venue, you will be charged a $15 corkage fee. Not fair, but that is how RCI does it. I also suggest you order one bottle of champagne for sail away and buy the wine package separately. Now, conversley, you can order the wine pkg. to the dining room and after dining, take a bottle back to your cabin, or the remainder of any already opened bottle.

I know that you can't get wine package wines delivered to your cabin on Radiance. Gifts and Gear, yes, and they are supposed to charge you corkage (I thought it was $12) if you order it for the cabin and then bring it to the dining room. An utterly insane policy.

Sbladybug Posted October 12, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Appreciate the advice! I will just plan to order from gifts and gear so we can ensure that we have that celebratory sail away toast! Not worth saving a few $$ to be running around the ship trying to get access to our wine package that first day. Thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynncarol Posted October 12, 2010 #9 Share Posted October 12, 2010 During our Sept. cruise we tried to get a bottle from our wine package for a sail-away toast. No dice! You have to pick up the bottle at the dining room and we were in late seating. Since we prefer our wine prior to dinner, our waiter opened a bottle at each evening meal and we took it back to our room for the next night's cocktail hour. Sort of a hassle and not sure if we would purchase a wine package again for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted October 12, 2010 #10 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I was just browsing through the offers to see if a spa package/massage was available. I went through every option looking for the spa reservations, but it's too early (I think). You can choose and option of having Dom, Korbel or some other brand delivered to your room in one package, and then have another package delivered to the dining room. Me myself, i would have everything delivered to the room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted October 12, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2010 You can definitely get a bottle from the Wine & Dine package for sailaway - we always get a bottle of champagne from our package and take it on deck. We always have late seating but either go along to the dining room early and introduce ourselves and ask for a bottle from the package or just get one from the Windjammer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
