Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted May 26 #1 Share Posted May 26 I know it says "on request bottle of Sparkling wine" in Aqua. I'm solo, so sparkling isn't a great use to me beyond a couple of drinks as it'll go flat. Do you know if you can request to change it for a red or a white? I'm not super picky about it - I know most people here don't like anything X has wine-wise except Decoy (which I know is not what they'd provide for the on request - and that's fine), so I'm not asking for opinions of what they provide. I'm just asking if it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted May 26 #2 Share Posted May 26 Yes ask your butler or room attendant for white or red wine. It is normally not a problem to switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Posted May 27 #5 Share Posted May 27 (edited) I took to BLU one of the nights for dinner. The sommelier exchanged it for a Riesling. The sommelier also mentioned he would give a credit for a more expensive wine. Edited May 27 by Banjo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we were able to do so on the Equinox 2X and Reflection. Thanks. I'm on Beyond, so... 😞 If my stateroom attendant says no, I'll try what @Banjo did. And if they say no, I'll have one or 2 glasses and politely take the rest to Guest Services to show what is wasted (unless they want someone passed out drunk from drinking a whole bottle to prevent it going flat) when they aren't flexible. Kidding. Kind of. I'd probably try first taking it unopened to Guest Services and explaining that I am solo and it would be flat before I was able to finish it.

I have found that if we get an experienced room attendant, there has not been a. problem. Lately, we have had new, inexperienced staff and I guess they are following the letter of the law. I bring home the bubbly and serve it as part of mimosas for guests. Actually, it is not bad when served that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurab23 Posted May 27 #11 Share Posted May 27 We left our wine in the cooler. We didn't even want to bother taking it home. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
