wine packages for UK passengers

[lynnek]

Has anyone booked a cruise through a UK TA and ordered the wine packages online?? My TA advised that you can only book these packages 30 days or less to sailing through them. Can anyone advise?

Wine packages can be booked about 90 days out. However they have introduced some new wines to the packages and there seems to be a bit of a delivery/supply problem with some ships and itineraries - Dubai and the Chinese ones spring to mind, where people have not been able to preorder at all and have had to wait until they board to see what wines they had in stock.

I think once you pay your final balance, you can oder extras such as wine and excursions online

No, you can book the wine packages and excursions any time, this is not dependent on final balance being paid at 57 days out.

I have already booked all my speciality restaurants for my cruise in September.

Can I ask you did you book these yourself online or by phone directly or TA?
