2009 Wine List

[oduphd]

I was just wondering if anyone has a current (2009) wine list for the HAL ships they would be willing to post. I found one from early last year but I am assuming that the list is not the same from year to year. I'm just trying to decide whether or not wine we like are on the list or if I need to bring some wine on board.

Appears to be a 3x markup...am I correct that their is also an automatic "service charge" in addition to the price?

Thank you middle-aged mom and nowornever. I really appreciate your help. I can't wait for our cruise to Alaska -- only 34 days to go! :)

Wow, it's so nice to see regional wines on HAL. We've long mentioned that in our comments. And a real surprise to see so many Uurguayan wine. Nice surprise.

 

Thanks for the info. It'll be interesting to see what they have available on our upcoming Rotterdam cruise.
