Wine Card

[seaterm]

Does anyone know the brand names of wines they use when you purchase a wine card, I'm interested in red wines. Will be on the Westerdam March 9th.

It's whatever the house wine is -- or should I say 'ship wine'? ;)

 

I don't remember the label, but it was the same wine we were gifted with by our TA.

 

It's not fabulous wine, but it's not bad wine either. I think I was most put out when I saw wines we can buy at our supermarket on the wine list for over $40 a bottle!

 

We had a wine card on our last cruise and will do it again on the next.

 

I especially liked being able to use it for a glass of sparkling wine before dinner, without having to consume a whole bottle!

 

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Really depends on the ship.

 

On one ship we had one brand of red wine - which was okay. But on our recent Ryndam cruise -- it was a much better red wine -- didn't have a bitter taste. I can never remember the names of the wines.

How much is the wine card and how does it work?

The 10-glass card is $41.40 ($36+15% service charge) and the 20-glass card is $77.63 ($67.50+15%). Each punch gets you one glass of "house" Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, White Zinfandel, or "Sparkling Wine".

For 2 people, we found it a great bargain to have a glass of wine at dinner each night.
