? Complete 2014 Princess Wine List?

[RetiredNTraveling]

Can someone point me in the direction to find a Complete Listing of Wines available on Princess for 2015 & 2015? I have heard that they no longer carry one of my wife's favorite, Chateau St Michele Riesling. :confused:

Here's a link to a PDF file that I created after sailing on the Royal Princess last October that Largin put into a post:

This was just the MDR wine list and other locations had additional options.

This is also one of my favorite wines, and one I have enjoyed on Princess for many years. I'm sailing in less than 2 weeks, so I will know for sure then, but I was on board for a BVE and checked the wine list while I was there. I'm sad to say it is gone.

[onefine89]

Wow.........now that's a list!:eek:

 

Thanks for coming up with the question...... and for the answer "cruiserdru"

 

Will make use of it in October on the Crown Princess.

Thanks for posting this list! Anyone know a good place to purchase a nice bottle of wine to take on board in San Francisco? Our hotel is within walking distance of the pier.

You are probably staying near Fisherman's Wharf. There are 3 stores you can buy wine in the area, all 3 are on Bay St - Safeway is between Powell and Mason, Trader Joes's is on corner of Mason and Bay, and Cost Plus's World Market is between Mason and Taylor. Best selection is Safeway, best prices is at Trader Joe's. There is a store with a smaller selection and higher prices near the Pier 35. It is a couple blocks from the pier on Sansome St.

 

Highly recommend the Robert Hall Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah at Trader Joe's. Some box wines are available at Safeway. On the ship, try the Decero Malbec or Estancia Meritage for reds and the Chamisal Stainless Steel Chardonnay for white. Try the Chateauneuf du Pape or Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc-Viognier, you can't go wrong with either.

Thank you both for these most informative lists!

This will be my first time on Princess. Will the wait staff keep ones open bottle of wine and have it on the table for one the next night or do I have to take the bottle back to my cabin?

On RCCL they cork an keep the bottle for me.

Thanks,

Cheryl

They will store your open bottle of wine for another night even if you're dining at a different location. If you tell them where you had it on the first night they can get it for you. For example if you didn't finish the bottle at a specialty restaurant & the next day ate in the main dining room they'll be able to get it for you.

Thanks Astro Flyer!!

[Astro Flyer]

Thanks Astro Flyer!!

You're welcome! My experience has been that wine is less expensive than RCCL & hopefully you'll have the same experience. :) I found that I needed to get the RCCL wine package to lower the prices to the same as Princess' per bottle cost.

 

Like RCCL, Princess allows 1 bottle per person/cruise to be brought onboard but Princess' corkage fee is only $15 vs. RCCL's $25. RCCL said that additional bottles are not allowed but Princess allows unlimited bottles of wine subject to a $15/bottle fee when bringing it onboard. Those bottles may be consumed anywhere onboard including in restaurants & can be stored for another day. If you want to bring wine from a port to take home Princess will store it until the night before disembarkation.

 

The Princess wine policy is one of the things I enjoy & if you're on a 10+ day cruise a wine package may be available.

We're just doing a short 5 night cruise. I usually save my good bottle from home to sip on the balcony. The person I'm traveling with is equal to my diamond, so as far as I understand, we get to go to a lounge for free wine. As long as it's not "La Terrible" as on RCCL, I'll drink their wine! On RCCL, I also carry my glass of wine or Cosmo into the MDR is that allowed?

Thanks for all your help!

The only free wine I know of on Princess is a free wine tasting for Elite members of the Captain's Circle and at the captain's cocktail party, which is usually held the second formal night. You can carry your glass from one venue to another--from a bar to the dining room. What you're not supposed to do is drink the wine from the bottle each adult is allowed to carry on in public spaces. That wine is supposed to be enjoyed in your cabin.

I thought Princess had an exclusive lounge for members of a certain Level like RCCL and X do. We go in every evening from 5-8 for cocktails, wine and hors d'oeuvres. No charge.

They have a nightly event for elite, platinum & suite passengers from 5:00 to 7:00. Each night has different hors d'oeuvres and there are $6 drink specials (6 types of drinks). It can get very crowded & on cruises like our Royal Princess TA not many didn't qualify with well over half of the passengers eligible. ;)

Yes & it's good to have options when deciding what cruise is best for each of us. Princess elite members get the following which works for me & can be exchanged (booze for beer, all soda, water, 2 coffee cards or one bottle of wine)

 

"Elite members will get a one-time complimentary mini-bar set-up (1 per Elite stateroom) which consists of two (2) miniature bottles each of Cognac, Gin, Vodka and Scotch Whisky, two (2) 12 ounce cans of beer, two (2) 12 ounce cans/bottles of tonic water, two (2) 12 ounce cans of Coca Cola, two (2) 12 ounce cans of Sprite, two (2) 0.5 liter bottles of water, two (2) 11 ounce bottles of Perrier".

Good to be traveling with an elite member!!!!

 

One of my jobs is to book our hotel and parking for the pre cruise.

Any suggestions for park and snooze in FLL?

 

Thanks,

I've stayed at the Crown Plaza & Courtyard by Marriott but didn't drive to the port. Others have highly recommended either Hyatt Place or Embassy Suites on 17th. Both are an easy walk to Publix or Total Wine and about a 10-15 minute walk if you want to drag bags to the ship. ;) If you embark on a Sunday I've read that alcohol sales are prohibited until noon.

Thanks, we leave on a Saturday and I'll just bring a nice bottle of wine from home!

Usually the first formal night, there is also the Captain's Welcome Party in the atrium (different than the Captain's Circle Party which is second formal night and usually in Vista Lounge, you will get an invite if you have been on Princess before) with the champagne waterfall, open to everyone.....plenty of free drinks continually brought around for about 45 minutes starting about 7:15 (check the Patter).
