Latitudes free wine?

[tjt87]

If you have a specialty meal booked can you take it there, perhaps have them chill it?

[dexddd]

When did they start this? We didn't get any last summer.

 

When they changed the program this year and added new levels - around Feb.

You can.

 

But if I was going to take a bottle of wine to have with dinner I'd want it to taste better than that one does.

I wish NCL would let us fill out a simple 'preference' on line. You would think that could be a simple box to check in our online profile. Give us the choice of extra water....or for me more chocolate strawberries:D

 

More chocolate covered strawberries would be awesome! Alas. Maybe they'll update the program at some point in the future.

Since neither I or my cabin mate drink alcohol this is a gift that will be given away to someone before we leave our sailing...not worth carrying home to give to a neighbor.

February this year

 

For Platinum members the perk has been in place for at least a couple years. We were Platinum in 2015 and on the Jewel had the free wine which at the time was a cheap champagne. We used it to make Mimosas.

We did the same thing last year in April on the Jade and again in November.

 

When NCL changed tier requirements and perks this past February they added the free wine to some of the lower tiers. So it is no longer just a Platinum perk.

I don't drink. I'd rather have a box of chocolate.

[Tiggertastic]

We didn't get ours or our vouchers so we went to the desk and they gave them to us, it was a cheap fizzy one but a day later they also sent a bottle of Chardonnay. We gave them both away.

It has been a platinum perk more than 10 years. I've been platinum since the early 2000's.

 

I always leave the bottle behind in the cabin. But, the cabin steward should be able to move it out of the room upon request.

We were platinum on our 2010 cruise on the Star but I couldn't remember if we got the wine or not.

It's usually there before you are.

 

Is it chilled? I've had this before and couldn't use it for a day or so later because it wasn't cold. Would be nice to have it cold when we got to the room so we could drink it right away with the strawberries during the sail away!! :cool:

This would be wonderful.

It used to be but since they expanded it to other levels it seems they no longer do that. At least on our June 2017 we just found it warm, sitting on the table.

Sounds a pain in the butt gift that half the cruisers dont like or want! What with emptying the mini bar now an extra bottle of Bucks Fizz type stuff, they really should ask past or frequent cruisers to fill out a suggestion questionnaire. I realise most cabins have to have the same stuff provided but.....

 

It's like the towel animals, lovely the first time, slightly irritating the second by the end of the cruise, you feel like stringing the whole towel supply together and swinging off the balcony into the sea! [emoji35]

 

On a polite note, Latitudes Rewards start at which level? It's our second NCL cruise so unsure as we all collect Latitudes don't we?

 

Apologies if anyone is upset by my looking a gift horse in the mouth. We did actually go and watch them doing a demo of these towel buddies. I hope you enjoy looking at what they made [emoji51]🤦🏼*♀️

You can exchange the wine for a non-alcoholic sparkling cider.

Is that still true? My understanding is that since they added the free wine to other Latutude levels they will no longer trade it for anything, not another wine, not water, or anything else.

Thanks for that. So from your second cruise you get this free wine? I think we've got 22 points?
