Glasses of wine (and other beverages) over the $15 limit are charged the difference, plus 20% gratuity. So...a $20 glass of wine will cost you $6 ($5 overage + $1 Gratuity). With the Premium Plus Package, that $20 glass is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very likely if anyone says anything here by the time you're onboard it'll be a different selection at a higher price. I'm guessing Louis XIII Cognac is one of them. White gloves, served on a platter. One of the bartenders said if you finish the bottle you get to keep it. The empty bottle is probably worth a ton on ebay but you can always refill it (with something cheap) and keep it on a shelf at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if they were actually on the menu, or if you have to eye scan the bar to see the top notch stuff. They are on the menu and and at Proof the Whiskey Bar and all them are easy to see☺️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I see what they did. All the expensive wines they don't even have by the glass. Bottles only. Louis XIII according to this menu specifically says not included with any package. It's an "experience." Makes sense that even before the recent change it wasn't part of Premium Plus. The price is $80 .5 oz, $160 1 oz, $320 for 2 oz. It might be higher now. I don't even see any XO Cognacs. There's got to be more than what's here: https://profcruise.com/norwegian-bar-menus-2022/ Maybe it's the stuff in the "Connoisseur Collection."

singleflyer Posted April 18, 2023 #30 Share Posted April 18, 2023 With the Premium Plus, what bottles of wine can you get at dinner? Veuve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velma-Shaggy Posted January 18 #31 Share Posted January 18 On the topic of the Premium Plus package, my prior experience was that there was (1) bar on board where you could get glasses of wine after 5/5:30 when dinner started -- anyone know if this is same bar on every ship or if each has a different bar that offers wine? (As I recall, it was either Prime Meridian near 3 specialty restaurants on deck 8 or The Atrium on deck 6. ) This is a somewhat annoying feature of the PPB option: I can get liquor anywhere/anytime but I can't get a good glass of wine except at dinner! Thanks for any info you can offer -- I'm on the Escape in late February and will answer this for myself if no one has the answer earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the higher end wines are only stocked at the bars by the dining rooms but the Escape has a Cellars so you should be able to find some there also.

UKstages Posted January 18 #33 Share Posted January 18 the casino bar also typically carries higher end products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitlions Posted January 18 #34 Share Posted January 18 Do they still give 12oz cans of beer like domestic. I like the 16oz with the screw on cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arochon1 Posted January 19 #35 Share Posted January 19 I upgraded to free at sea plus for my cruise on the Gem. They had a large selection of Scotch at the Maltings whiskey bat, including Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Between that and the champagne and Starbucks and bottled water and canned sodas and fresh squeezed juices, I really felt that the Premium Plus was worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
