Forresters

Thank you so much for undertaking such important research - hoping there will be a few bottles of Montaudon left for us in January!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share. If you get chance please will you check if real French champagne is being served by the glass in any bars as part of the premium package and if so what make? We sail on Infinity in January.

We sail on the 2 January from Barcelona and excited to be back on Infinity. Have booked Aqua class and premium drinks. Small thing but wondering what champagne or sparkling wine is being served by the glass - other ships mention Montaudon and Chandon as premier selection - hoping imminent dry dock won’t mean less choice

We have just booked the classic to premium upgrade at £6.91 a day for two cruises next year - told it can’t be combined with our elite plus discount but no worries as it’s a great deal 😊

Came off Silhouette yesterday and those who enjoy champagne will be sorely disappointed with what’s available. Chandon is available almost everywhere at 16 dollars a glass. We had the premium package and occasionally managed to get a glass of Haslinger in the sunset bar, craft social and Blu but more often Montaudon at these bars which is not to my taste. No champagne to be seen at lunchtime anywhere……or in the theatre and very hit and miss in all other bars. I raised concerns day 3 with guest services as we felt poor not premium quality being offered. No premium rose wine only classic and very narrow range of both white and red. Cellarmaster intervened and said if I asked for French champagne and itvwas not forthcoming to ask the bar staff to phone him and he would get a bottle delivered. Okay in theory but felt awful making bar staff do extra work when they are so stretched….also took away enjoyment and made me feel like a diva despite paying fir premium so mainly drank Chandon to avoid any difficulty. Feeling short changed and not in a rush to sail celebrity soon - we are Elite Plus and saddened by this and other cutbacks on quality.

Thanks for all comments - much appreciated - won’t mind if it’s monopole as decent enough but not montaudon which is def not to my taste…...on sale in Aldi for £13 a bottle - never come across haslinger but willing to give it a go…..I only drink fizz so it’s important to my cruise experience - thanks for the tip of ordering French champagne as opposed to simply asking for sparkling…..hoping this leaves less to chance 🥂

Hi. Please can anyone currently on Silhouette tell me if proper French champagne is being served as part of the premium drinks package? If not what’s sparkling glasses of wine are on offer? We start our cruise next Tuesday and so so hoping to enjoy some decent fizz 🥂🥂 many thanks for your help.

We love Azamara and have just booked a last minute cruise on Onward for GTY balcony and already been allocated 6009 - please can anyone kindly advise the pros and cons? Only experienced deck 7 and 8 before when choosing our own cabins. Many thanks 😊

Seabourn kindly agreed to giving us a first time cruise credit 250 dollars and emailed a lovely welcome - thank you Margaret for referring us. Chris

Very kind of you Marjbem. Thank you. I have just emailed you with our cruise details. Good wishes chris

We are sailing on Quest 17 May 2023 from Venice and it’s our first time on Seabourn. We had booked a similar itinerary but it got cancelled due to coronavirus pandemic. We were given a loyalty number by Seabourn when we booked this cruise but as we have never sailed wonder if we are eligible for the referral scheme? Also wondering if anyone has experience of cabin 507 - not our preference but all that was left. Wondering about anchor noise in particular - thank you 😊 Chris
