BBUK Posted September 19, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Does anyone have a website link which shows the drinks prices and wine list for Celebrity or Mercury? Do they charge a corkage for own wine?:mad: Any other advice on whether you can buy on board at duty free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dileep Posted September 19, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2005 On the M-Class ships most drinks were $5.75 and the daily specials were $4.95 and they did charge $15 corkage for wine brought into the restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingChick Posted September 19, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2005 No they are in regular martini glasses. I don't know where you live, but when we go out for dinner and drinks, martinis cost anywhere from $8.00 - $13.00. Anne Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char Posted September 19, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Boy, that $8.95 had better be with a fancy glass to take home with me. :D The Maritni's in the Martini Bar have 4 oz. of liquor in them, so they are larger than your regular Martini. For $13.95 you can have the Martini and the fancy glass! Some folks have posted web sites with some of the menus. Here are a few--they are all pdf. Here is the wine menu Celebrity wine menu Here is the Martini Bar menu Martini_Bar.pdf on dinosaurboard.com Here is the Bar menu Bar_List.pdf on dinosaurboard.com Arubalisa was posting, too! I believe these lists are a little newer than the one from the Galaxy above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcourt Posted September 19, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2005 On our last two Princess cruises (Nov. 04 & April 05) we only were paying $4.95 but if we wanted the fancy glass to take home then it was $8.95. Ouch, I guess I will be limited to just one a day...... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teajak Posted September 19, 2005 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Boy, that $8.95 had better be with a fancy glass to take home with me. :DDon't count on it. I hadn't finished mine before going in to dinner and they wouldn' let me take it in their fancy glass. The waiter poured it into a plain water glass. At that price I wasn't going to leave a drop of it.--teajak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price I wasn't going to leave a drop of it.--teajak This is the first time I have ever heard of someone not being able to take their unfinished drink into dinner in the "original" glass it was served in. I had no problem taking my Martini into dinner! In fact, the Maitre'd took it to our table for me as we entered the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urkidn Posted September 19, 2005 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2005 We were on Century last Dec and every day from 5:30pm - 8:30 pm there was a 2 for 1 ($8.95) Martini special in the Martini Bar. These were 2 oz drinks and they made whatever you wanted and included the premium brands such as Grey Goose vodka if you asked. Yummy! There were also other 2 for 1 specials going on at the same time (late afternoon - early evening) such as 2 for 1 draft beer ($3.95) in the Images Bar and 2 for 1 ($5.50) drinks in the Hemisphere lounge. The drink specials will be listed on the back of the "Celebrity Today" flyer that they leave in your room every evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 19, 2005 #12 Share Posted September 19, 2005 4.95 for a Martini? I don't ever recall seeing that price. 8.95 and worth it too. They make some fantastic drinks:) Char, I have always been able to take my drink into the dining room as well. Maybe they meant they wanted to keep the glass (permanently). Now, I have not heard of that one~not the Martini glasses anyway. But I have never heard of the bartender preventing people from taking their drink with them to dinner.

teajak Posted September 19, 2005 #13 Share Posted September 19, 2005 It was a first for me. Yes it was a fancy martini glass, a large one with a pretty blue stem. He was very nice about it, I have always taken a drink with me to the dining room so I started out with it and the waiter followed me and said you can't take that with you. I questioned him and told him I had done it before, he said it is the glass you can't take, I will put it in another one for you. This was on the Horizon in the Martini bar last Dec.

Cruise Junky Posted September 19, 2005 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2005 4.95 for a Martini? I don't ever recall seeing that price. She's right on the Princess Martini prices. They're a steal. I think that why we find Celebrity's so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbetty2001 Posted September 20, 2005 #15 Share Posted September 20, 2005 For drink prices go to the Celebrity web site and check the FAQ section they have the drink prices posted there and you can print them. They do not show the "Martini Bar" prices though. All drink prices DO NOT include the 15% tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem I ever had with this (and did it plenty on two Summit cruises) was walking down the stairs in the center of the dining room without spilling my glass! Especially challenging when it's the second Martini! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick in Falls Church Posted September 21, 2005 #22 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yep, there is a 15% gratuity--and keep in mind, that's where the pay comes from for the bartender. Bad (small) crowd, not much pay. Talking to the bartenders on the Century--they do much better on a Caribbean cruise than on a European. The bartenders are also rotated around, so your favorite at the Martini bar this trip will likely be somewhere else next trip. Interesting side note-- vodka martinis are $8.95, and as mentioned, are 4 oz. Gin martinis, on the other hand, are 55 cents less--except when they have the special, and you get charged $8.95. Go figure. One of the folks with us also got their martini put into another glass when he was off to dinner. But one did get out of the bar without being caught (hope the waiter didn't get docked).

Tuna Posted September 21, 2005 #24 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I did notice that if you order a martini outside the martini bar, the glass is smaller and they charge you a buck or two less. Anyone else notice that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
