Explorer of the Seas - What wine in Select package?

[k10]

Sailing on Explorer next month. Can anyone clarify what wines are available this year on the Select package? Trying to decide whether it is worth upgrading to a package.

 

Can anyone clarify that you can definitely pay the difference to more expensive wines on this package?

 

It has been suggested that pretty much all beers are included in the Select package with the exception of the Fosters Oil Can. Can anyone confirm this to be the case?

 

Thanks

I can confirm that you only pay the difference if you select a wine that is over the $8 limit of the Select package. I've read that the only beer that is excluded now is the Chimay Blue.

 

Here is the MDR wine list:

Thanks very much that is very useful. There is so much confusion around what value of wine is included. I believe it to be up to 9$ on a departure from Southampton and could originally only find a Shiraz within this price - I cannot drink Shiraz as I react badly to it :eek: However there does seem to be a reasonable selection of both white, red, rose and a sparkling.

 

Thanks again - if anyone who has sailed from Southampton recently could confirm? I'm trying to work out whether to go with the Select package or pay as you go.

Why don't you wait until after you board to make a decision. That way you can see exactly what is available in the Select package on your sailing.
