Another wine question

[scdreamer]

We are planning on bringing a wine-check bag with twelve various vintage bottles in it for our upcoming 23-day cruise. Some we will probably have in our cabin, but most we plan to have at dinner. We will choose which bottles to bring to our dining venues and pay the corkage fee.

 

When we board, will Oceania just bring the bag to our cabin, and then we bring a bottle to the dining venue ahead of when we want to drink it? We are in a PH, so would we have the butler do that, or is it our responsibility? Most of the wines are whites, so they would need to be chilled prior to opening.

 

I know they will save the unfinished bottle for us, just not sure how it works bringing the wine on board, and then getting it to the table.

Oceania is fine with the wine going your stateroom or to their cellar directly.

The option is yours.

Your Butler will handle getting the bottles to the appropriate dining room.

Enjoy!

The refrigerators in the state rooms can handle 5 bottles standing upright when the one shelf is removed...PH refer should be at least as large.

Let your Butler handle it - he/she will take good are of you and your wine.

Yup, the butlers are great. They know what to do all the time. Have faith in them. :):):)
