With a such a limited wine list, what is MSC policy for bringing wine on?

we were in a H5 on Prima in December. The bathroom has a blow dryer that is inside drawer attached and plugged in with a fairly decent length of cord to dry your hair. The plug situation was a little inconvenient for us as my husband brought his electric tooth brush and charger and electric shaver/charger. As I recall, only one plug at pretty high on the wall so needed long cord and it was the two prong type....so had to plug his three prong in at another outlet in the bedroom/living room.

Any experience for a 14 day cruise in OS? Does that mean 6 bottles?

thank you HB...that's is what I read here on CC but looks like it is a hit and miss. I'm hoping I will receive the letter. Sometimes the Butlers (and understandably so) are very busy that first day.

Thank you for your quick reply....enjoy your cruise!

With being in H5 owners suite, what was your options for liquor, bar set up, sodas, water etc. etc. with the length of your cruise? And also, how far in advance to your departure date were you contacted for your choices. Were they fulfilled upon your arrival?

I will be in a owners suite on the Prima, My question is if I don’t upgrade will I be able to have a vanilla latte coffee (Starbucks) delivered by the butler at no charge?

Thank you. It must have been a glitch this morning because I couldn't see any dates. Now I am.

I am not seeing any dates. Is there a reason?

I checked out the current wine offerings posted by CTCruiser001 and put a price next to the ones they offered on that particular cruise each by the glass and by the bottle. (with the premium plus package). Looks like the bottle that you should be able to order with a dinner range from $35 to $99 per bottle. i noticed that they no longer offer bottle Veuve Clicquot for dinner. I guess just keep filling up my glass! I hope this stands true for lunches?? Wine price by glass and bottle.pdf

With the Premium plus their website today (as I just upgraded for upcoming cruise) shows per glass and/or you can order bottles that are above the $15 as listed (based on inventory). We bring our favorite wines from home since we do not fly so have not tested them on it. Will be on the Breakaway Haven soon and although we bring only Reds I do like a glass of of white with lunch so going to try and order a bottle of Santa Margherita that I believe is above the $15.

We arrived around 9:15 (our appoint. was 9:30 to 10:00) and never heard any announcement but stood in the line where the "checkpoint" for documents etc. Once we saw someone there, (which was less than 5 minutes) we got in the line, and went through security in less than 5 minutes. We went straight to Haven check in and received our keys and escorted to waiting room. I believe we were on board around 1130 a.m. All done without any hiccups.

We were on the Breakaway in the Haven two weeks ago. We brought 4 bottles of wine and carried them in a hand held bag for wine (free at our local grocery store). We had early check in (9:30 am) and the bag went through security and there was no one that checked them in. Before they changed the rules there was an employee at a desk at Security that tagged each bottle for corking fees. We hand carried them to the Haven Restaurant and left them there. At meals they were opened, poured and stored if not completely empty. In our room there was a corkscrew. No charges at all!

I was on the Breakaway Haven last week. This is a picture of the Haven Plus side of the Haven Bar Menu. It shows the up charge if you do not have have upgraded drink package. We were told if you have the Plus, you're only charged for Johnnie Walker Blue Label Connoisseur Collection with a 40% discount. I believe they had everything in stock at the Haven Bar. Talked to a non-haven guest the first day of cruise and said he was disappointed that no bar on the ship had Crown Royal and was told out of stock. Sorry for picture sideways....don't know why

On the Breakaway now and just came from guest services inquiring to upgrade the drink package and we were too late. Only day one and day two for upgrading
