How HAL Could Turn Things Around

[JimmyVWine]

Those are the places I frequent. Why should the cruise lines subsidize your taste at the expense of others?

 

You seem to keep circling back to this. I don't want anyone to subsidize me. If HAL wants to sell me a $5 bottle for $25, then it wants to reach into my pocket for $20 of profit. I am perfectly willing to give them that same $20 bill in exchange for me drinking my own bottle. $20=$20. No one is subsidizing anything. This really isn't a novel or complex idea.

Wrong. Cruise lines need to make money. You want your own wine? Pay for it.

 

What part do you not get about THEY DO NOT CARRY IT? Lmao

 

They do not have it, so how do i pay for it?

[JimmyVWine]

They shouldn't, just charge a corkage

 

You want your own wine? Pay for it.

 

That's what "charge a corkage" means.:confused:

Right, whoever said we werent willing to pay!? Ill gladly pay if they carried what i want but they do not. :(

There's a reason they don't and yeah, I know what pay for it means. $50 my friends. And thank you for hijacking this thread. Yellow tail? Really?

Is this the sangria you are speaking about?

You know he was kidding when he said Yellowtail, right?

Oh quint? Yes. http://Www.quintllc.com

Its made from some goood stuff, and better than any ive tasted, from scratch or otherwise.

Its the choice of upscale restaurants in southern ca for sangria base, and they add fresh fruit.

No. And you haven't addressed why you're willing to give up a good cruise for a cheap bottle of wine.

$24 for a HALF bottle is not cheap? Where did you get cheap? $32 for a bottle of sparkling is moderate. Not cheap.

Princess is a good cruise as well, just different.

 

I have no loyalty to lines, i find ships i prefer. HAL is losing a 3 star mariner, because they went from one extreme to the other.

 

If HAL would special order, i would stay with them, but they will not. Not less than one case.

Half bottles are overpriced. Never bought one. I prefer Rhones and burgundies.

Port wines only come in half bottles silly.

Show me a whole bottle and heck, i might be in trouble :)

[mariner]

No, they don't.

[lovetocruise2020]

No, they don't.

 

Show me some port that does not come in a half. And i mean dessert, fortified wine, not tawny port...

Almost all dessert wines come in half ( slender bottles)

[mariner]

I have 2 racks in my cellar. No, Im not going to post a picture.

It is most likely not a dessert wine.

[mariner]

It's Port.

Sandeman ports are not half bottles.

[lovetocruise2020]

It's Port.

 

Not every port is a dessert wine, like the ones im referring to above.

Most ice wines and dessert wines you will find in a half slender bottle.

[lovetocruise2020]

Sandeman ports are not half bottles.

 

Sandemans is a tawny port, and most tawny ports will be in large bottles,

[mariner]

Most dessert wines etc come in full bottles. They come in half bottles because they're cheaper. I don't buy cases of half bottles. Talk about mark-up girl.

[sail7seas]

I quoted you..........

In my post.

 

You said: "Port wines only come in half bottles silly".

Quady does not even come in full bottles.

 

Wow, looks like they are finally doing full bottles, im shocked. Decandencia is only half bottles.

 

I think you will find most tawny ports are full bottles, dessert and ice wine mostly half.

 

Most likely depends on what the winery is doing.

[mariner]

Get over you Quady. Not impressing me.

Id like to get back on topic
