Is complimentary wine by the glass served in Luminae?

[C-sea]

I don't have a drink package but will be in a suite. At meals will I have an option for complimentary wine/beer?

No, there are no complimentary drinks outside of Michael’sClub/Retreat.

It may look to you as if complimentary glasses of wine are being served, but that is because so many folks in Suites have a beverage package.

You could stop in Michael's for a pre-dinner drink and take a glass of wine from Michael's with you into Luminae. We saw more than a few people doing this on our cruise.

We observed this as well on our recent cruise. We were on a resident rate, so no included beverage package. I wasn’t entirely comfortable carrying glasses of wine from the Retreat into Luminae on a nightly basis, but certainly don’t fault others who do. We would buy bottles of red wine, thanks to the 20% Elite+ discount which made their mark up a little more tolerable. In doing so, on some nights I would bring a glass of white from the Retreat to enjoy with my starter course, and then drink a glass of red with the entree from our purchased bottle. Worked well for us as I enjoyed the nice service and suggestions from the Luminae Sommelier.

Remember you can also board with two nice bottles and then just pay corkage in the restaurant ($25?).
