cluso Posted May 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi! We are headed down under on Celebrity in February 2009. :D Just checking to see what the cruise lines are charging for Aus and NZ bottles of wine on board for dinner, etc (not Duty Free shopping).:p Sante` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific Sandy Posted May 9, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi - We were on the Millenium last year. The only Aussie wine they had was a Rosemount Shiraz. I think it ran about $26.00 US. No NZ wines on the list, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaNC Posted May 9, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Remember that you can board with 2 bottles of wine (we did it in our carry-on and each took two bottles). There is a Wine Store about 2 blocks from the ship with a good selection. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mprcruiser Posted May 9, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Sheila, Is that wine store in Sydney or Auckland. We are on the Millineum in November, 2008 and board the ship in Auckland. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaNC Posted May 9, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Well, I was talking about Sydney, but....winos that we are -- there are several within a few blocks of the ship in Auckland as well. Just ask anyone in any store in the harbor area. We bought in a little grocery type store on a side street about 3 blocks from where you turn into the ship. And we passed several stores within a few minutes of the dock while walking around Auckland, if you don't mind carrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mprcruiser Posted May 10, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Thanks so much. No, we don't mind carrying if it means we can have some good New Zealand wine along with the good Australian wine later. Again thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluso Posted May 10, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yes, thanks for the info. ;) We would like to try some of the more local wines--not just the standard imports to the USA. Guess because of contractual requirements, there might not be very many local wines onboard and at a good price. Guess we will be humping some to the ship---off to the gym for some upper body work! :p Sante` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
