39august Posted April 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Just read in another thread that concierge class cabins get a bottle of bubbly upon embarkation. Do aqua cabins also get a bottle? I know everyone gets a glass upon boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 4cats4me Posted April 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yes, we got it in Aqua, too, and it tasted awful [emoji79] both times. I much prefer the $10 mini bottle that is in the mini fridge in the room Domaine Chandon [emoji846] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted April 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Aqua class staterooms certainly also receive the bottle of bubbly. We also don't think much of it, and generally, if you ask nicely, the Blu sommelier will give you a credit towards a nicer bottle of wine in turn for the unopened bottle of bubbly.

jelayne Posted April 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yes AQ gets the sparkling wine. Options if you don't like the taste is use it to make mimosa's for breakfast on the balcony. Add a bit od peach snapps makes a good pre-dinner drink. Some have been successful in getting the cabin steward to switch it for a bottle of red or white. Some have had success getting the sommelier to take it and give you credit toward the purchase of a bottle of wine. Credit amount is $28 last I heard.

Luvcrusn Posted April 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Anyone here ever traded it for a bottle of Prosecco? I remember reading some had done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downsmead Posted April 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The bottle was not in the cabin and we had to ask the steward about it, upon which we were told to just let him know when we wanted it. We actually got Prosecco rather than the usual fizz. I get the impression that unless you knew and asked, then they would not have given you a bottle. It may be with so many people with packages, that it is no longer considered necessary to provide it. It meant we didn't have to keep going down to the bar to refill our glasses 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted April 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yeah, we have always received a bottle in Aqua. The stuff tastes like $2 per bottle sparkling (calling it Champagne would be an insult to Champagne). Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2theship Posted April 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 20, 2017 We take it home and use it for mimosas during the holidays. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to trade it for Prosecco you might as well save yourself the hassle and use it for mimosas. Unless you drink Prosecco straight????

ChucktownSteve Posted April 21, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 21, 2017 On our last three Aqua/Concierge sailings I found a deserving crew member and gave it to them. I told them they could keep it to themselves or share it with friends. They appreciated the extra tip. I had the premium package anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
