Change in wine list

[MarkusToe]

Just on Getaway, there is a signifikant change in the wine list, plus package.

Not botteled wine included anymore.

Only one champagner by the glass.

Do not taste.....

 

This time waste of money....

What are the changes? Do you have any photos of any new wine list? 

[MarkusToe]

The most important change: by the glass only. Everything

I'll do pictures today, maybe someone has a picture of the old one....

Search for the new NCL drink packages flyer PDF.  Yes, many changes.

Are you saying when you go to dinner, they won’t let you keep the bottle after ordering a wine on P+? We found they were reluctant to do this in some restaurants and more willing in others.  
 

Thank you for posting it when you have time.

The flyer currently on the website still shows by the bottle available at dinner.

Looks like Veuve has been replaced with a generic, or at least obscure champagne... The other "premium plus" wines are also a significant downgrade considering the cost of P+ vs the regular package.

Thanks for highlighting the change. Looking at the new flyer it simply states Haton Champagne, but I see your picture shows a Rose Champagne. Can you confirm if regular Haton champagne is an option or is it Rose only?

[Seas2mountains]

The wines we typically drink with P+ are : 

Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio

Decoy Cab - favorite ***

Duckhorn Merlot

Leonardo Davinci Brunello 

Silverado 

Doglioti Barolo

 

All are still on the P+ wine list. Some have not changed since we started getting P+ a few years ago. We also like the Norwegian ‘66 Prosecco and Gin.  
 

When we were on Prima in June, they did not have all of the typical P+ wines due to supply issues getting the wines to Southampton and Amsterdam. 
 

We have learned which bars carry the P+ wines. Sometimes the bar servers will get the wine from the bars that carry it and will keep it stocked for us for the cruise as we do tip them.

So disappointing. We genuinely drink Veuve at home, so we’re bummed to see they removed it on our previous cruise and replaced with Pommery Rose, which is not a like for like replacement. I had hoped that for our upcoming October cruise they had seen sense and at least offered a regular Champagne and not a rose, which is a completely different product, but looks like that is sadly not the case.

And, to be honest, taste like the cheapest crab you may find at the Discounters....and the worse ones....

Sales price for that stuff in Germany is about 30 US (tax included)

The biggest problem for any of the wine and liquor lists is that there are a lot of times that NCL claims to be unable to get various wines and liquors 

[stefmaia]

The only way that NCL is going to improve the selection is if people stop paying for the rubbish they are offering now. What used to be a good buy, is not anymore.

Found the xo at 2 inside Bars on request today. To be very honest,: if you have the Chance to try this one, you will never ask for XO..
