mr_bad_example Posted October 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2019 We are frequent Celebrity cruisers taking our first Azamara cruise in November. Azamara offers two wine bottle packages - one with a $50.00 per bottle limit and one with a $75.00 per bottle limit. If we wish to purchase a bottle of wine that costs more than the package limit, let's say a $100.00 bottle, do we simply pay the difference of $25.00 or $50.00 like we do on Celebrity?

BBMacLaird Posted October 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hmmm, this is a new question for me. Let me ask and I’ll come back when I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBMacLaird Posted October 23, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2019 It seems we do things differently than your other line. You cannot Buy Up from the package and pay the difference. The package you choose allows you to choose from a selection of wines. If you choose to buy a bottle outside of the selection of wines in your package, then it is considered a purchase outside of the package and would be full retail.

Cruising, wine, cigars, new friends, and helping those in need do that for me; so many things in this world today try to take away our happiness! I refuse to let that happen! Thank you for the warm welcome. Katherine and I look forward to our first 17 night Azamara adventure! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! Be very careful buying the wine packages. Wait until you are on your cruise and Ask to see the wine list selection which is very different and much less variety than the one they show on the website. We are not fans of the included wines for dinner and we were going to buy the up to $75 package but very few available between 50 and 75 with most of what we wanted was at $35, $55 or $80!! The wine list prices did not align well at all with the package pricing.We ended up just buying by the bottle each dinner (10) and saved money over the packages. It was the only complaint I documented in the survey at the end of an otherwise great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_bad_example Posted October 24, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Jimmycruiser, thank you for your response. We will wait until we are aboard to make any decisions, if we are unable to buy what we want in Lisbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they have sales on bin ends which can be very good value, ask the sommelier and you may get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to have any wine lists? Red wine that can be purchased by the bottle, with or without a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted November 1, 2019 #14 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Not sure a wine list would help because as I understand it you can’t guarantee any of the ships will have all the wines on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
