Champagne in Suites

[WahooNKS]

Can anyone tell me what kind of champagne Oceania provides in suites upon embarkation? If it's a decent one, I won't bother bringing our own on board.

I don't recall the exact labels plus I suspect they aren't necessarily always the same. I also believe it depends on what level of suite you are in. A PH will have a different bottle than an Owner's Suite.

 

If it is important to you, I'd bring my own. We aren't particularly champagne drinkers so we've always been satisfied, even when in a PH.

We have always been in a PH and have enjoyed whatever they gave us. Not Crystal or Dom but pretty good. Always drink it as we unpack. I guess a toast for our upcoming trip. Seems to be good luck for us. We thank O for it. :):):)

We were on the Regatta very recently, in December 2016, in a Penthouse cabin. The champagne was Jacquart from France. I do not have any more information as this is all I could see from a photo I took shortly after arriving in our cabin. The champagne was very nice.

We had the same in Concierge

Yes - and the named suites (OS, VS and OC) get Veuve Clicquot I believe.

Just off the Marina. We received a bottle of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut with our Vista Suite. Tasty!

Darn now I have to book a top suite :D

Perrier is my favourite

SWMbI prefers Toad Hollow Risqué - it's rather sweet and makes a good mimosa. My taste tends to run to most things brut. But regardless it's not worth hauling it in luggage to the ship...

 

Last cruise our butler brought us four bottles of Jacquart (gratis!) during a b2b and we 'forced' ourselves to drink three of them. Life is just one trial after another sometimes.

Thanks for the tips and info. I'm not a champagne snob, so I'm sure whatever they offer will be just fine! :)

Among its wine-by-glass choices, O has Shramsburg Mirabelle. This is a little gem among low/mid-priced California sparklers. However, the word has gotten out and the ships often run out of it. Maybe if what you get as a perk is forgettable, you can trade for the Mirabelle.

Sorry you had to go thru that and drink that much. We would have helped out if we had known. Next time.

Looking forward to trying Mirabelle. Thanx for the recommendation.

Now the secret is out...that is one of the best values in the by the glass listing!

We will be in a concierge cabin on our next cruise, is it possible to switch the bottle of champagne to a bottle of white wine?

You can switch to red or white wine - no problem [emoji485]

We personally preferred the Montaudon.

I think they disallowed that option last year but you can always ask

It was back last summer. Guess too many complaints per our TA.

That's good to know, Ed. I was still going by the announced change in policy where you could NOT switch. I heard announcement #1 but not #2.

Are you saying you can now swap it for wine??

We were on Regatta in April 2016 & Marina 2015 no swapping then

I am talking about A level cabins

I am sure the top suites can do anything with the included wine/spirits

We have traded the champagne for red wine when in Concierge Class (A) cabins.

 

Cheers,

[neepawa]

It was on Regatta to Alaska in 2014.

We were in a penthouse last year and were not permitted to swap.
