rcprncss Posted March 9 #1 Share Posted March 9 I am new to HA. We are going to skip the Have It All package. I am looking at the wine packages and the cost of individual bottles. 1. Is the price pre-cruise the same as when you get on the ship? For example, 6 bottles Suite 2 costs $252.52 if my cruise planner. 2. Do you pay 18% gratituty on wine packages? It does not show this in my cruise planner. 3. Is there 18% gratituty for spirits that are pre-ordered? So, now looking at this, it seems there is a 18% charge on wine packages. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend waiting until you board to order. A) you can see what wines are really available and B) the wine stewards get credit for the purchase. 20 minutes ago, rcprncss said: 2.

Rare POA1 Posted March 10 #5 Share Posted March 10 I second the advice of @kazu The Beverage Steward who sells the package gets some sort of credit, so you're helping them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlaMariner Posted March 10 #6 Share Posted March 10 I third the advice of @kazu The MDR waiter who (at least in our case) will be doing most of the wine "heavy lifting".....thus it's good to give him the credit for the purchase....so I've heard on here and confirmed onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
