gmbhardy Posted March 29 #1 Share Posted March 29 We’ve primarily sailed on the Joy and Bliss with the Plus package. I don’t know that much about the whiskey and wine selections, but I’ve been pretty happy with the inventory of the things I drink - Chopin Vodka, Zacapa Rum, Inniskillin Icewine, Chimay Beer and Pommery Champagne. For some strange reason, almost every cruise I have been on in the last while, runs out of Baileys. On our last cruise in February, (Joy transatlantic after dry dock) we actually had four brands of champagne. After they ran out of Pommery they offered La Cool, followed by Moët Chandon and then Veuve, so it was all good. We were allowed to take half empty bottles with us at the restaurants but I noticed in the terms and conditions, it now states wine by the bottle must be consumed in the restaurant. Just wondering what other cruisers are experiencing with the package and enforcement of the policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllHandsAstern Posted March 30 #2 Share Posted March 30 There were/are 7 people in my group so having half a bottle to take hasn't been an option 🤪. On cruises past if we didn't finish a bottle they basically cork it, stick your name on it and hold it in the back. I will say that upgrading to P+ for us has been really good value for us. We did free-at-sea plus so between the drinks and the wifi it's been great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS! Just got off the Pearl and they had plenty of both. I like a 50/50 mix of Amarula and Mr. Black Cold Brew liquor. So much for my dry Saturday now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllHandsAstern Posted March 30 #5 Share Posted March 30 I haven't seen Mr black on this sailing, probably for the best cause I'll get it as a night cap then wonder why I'm so awake! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had "ultra" drink privileges in the casino, so i was taste testing a bunch of stuff. the bartender recommended it. it's from south africa, i believe. comes in a very distinctive bottle with a tassel around the neck. they sell it in the duty free shop onboard, too, although it's usually two or three dollars more than it would be at an airport duty free. if using OBC, i don't care much and have walked off the ship with a bottle on all subsequent cruises.
