Drazil65 Posted December 24, 2023 #26 Share Posted December 24, 2023 It popped up on my cruise manager about 2 or 3 weeks (less than month) before sail date. We have consistently purchased this package throughout the years but this was first time we can remember having an offer specially regarding this package. Typically we get a general reminder about the package at some point (I believe the reminders come as emails mostly). We dont always purchase ahead and will wait until boarding but this offer caught our eye. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted December 24, 2023 #27 Share Posted December 24, 2023 That's nice to get 15% off! If you purchased the package with an AARP Carnival gift card that would add an additional 10% off. Every bit helps🤑 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted December 24, 2023 #28 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Obviously the program has changed since we last used it, but that’s fine. Is it still allowed to take an unfinished bottle from dinner to your room, or do they have to store it for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One you get the "vouchers' you can turn them in for a bottle of wine at any bar to take back to your cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. John from PG County Posted December 29, 2023 #31 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I’ve purchased Cruise the Vineyard my last four cruises and you can buy it in advance or on the ship. The wines in the cheaper package aren’t very good but it makes the MDR experience much nicer. My wife and I are on the Sunrise out of Miami on Jan. 8, 2024 and since its our anniversary we wanted everyone at the table to enjoy the champagne on or day.

Whatever you do, avoid the GIFFT (Kathie Lee Gifford) Pinot Grigio in the basic packages. I've tried to order it three times since the restart from COVID (last time two months ago) and each time they tried to serve me 2019 or 2020 vintage that had been sitting around and baking since before the COVID shutdown, The first time I tried it, it was spoiled and I sent the bottle back; the next two times I sent it back (without opening it) or told the server not to bother bringing it out because it was still the 2019 or 2020 swill. I think it used to be in the deluxe package but presumably they dropped it to the basic package to get rid of it. But I for one am not taking it off their hands, so my go-to white has become the Sauvignon Blanc in the basic package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted December 30, 2023 #33 Share Posted December 30, 2023 My mom and I noticed "old wine" from the premium package when we cruised on MG in October 2021. We tried a number of varietals and they were all skunky. Very disappointed in Carnival trying to serve wine that had been sitting onboard for a year and a half that had turned.

dmori Posted January 8 #36 Share Posted January 8 Anyone know? I would like to pre-purchase a 4 pack of beer/cider for each myself and husband for our stateroom. Will this cruise the vineyard package still be available to us to purchase onboard if we have already each purchased a liquor product for in our room? Thanks!

Drazil65 Posted January 8 #37 Share Posted January 8 DH always gets 2 4-pks of beer for cabin fridge and that has never stopped us from purchasing the wine package once onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
