Wine Package PRicing?

[theotherchad]

Where can we get a price listing on the various wine packages for our next RCCL cruise. We leave on May 7 on the Rhapsody. We bought the top level 7 bottle package last time (Sept 30, 2005), but we can't remember the price. Perhaps it has something to do with our having drank that package. ;) Anyway, if anyone has a link or a memory of what the various packages are and their prices, it would be much appreciated. We're trying to budget this cruise out properly. I know that they have packages based on the quality and selection of wines available and also then on the number of bottles, from 3 or 4 up to a 10 bottle packages.

Again, thanks in advance for any info you can give us! :cool:

You have to pay the 15% gratuity on top of the price of any package, as with all drinks. Selections are available in the Main dining room, specialty restaurants and Windjammer. Selections are subject to availability and the line reserves the right to substitute a similar wine for one on the list if it becomes unavailable. Package is valid only on the voyage purchased and you may take home any unconsumed bottles.

Wow, this is great info. Thanks! I saw mention of a "wine package" in another thread and was about to start a thread asking about it, but here it is!

 

Definitely a must-do for those of us who plan to order a bottle of wine with every sit-down dinner.

 

Thanks!

The other cool thing is you can open more than one at once and have them cork it for the next meal. My partner loves white, I love red. We open one of each at a time and they re-cork them and bring them back next meal.
