Wine package on Sea Princess

[hazand]

Does anyone know if wine package is available on Aus. based ships. Sea Princess 14 nights. Thanks.

It is supposedly available on all cruises of 10 or more nights

It is not available on Australian based ships - Sun, Dawn and Sea. This is what Princess Say

 

The Wine Bottle program can be purchased onboard at the beverage tables set up on embarkation day where they're selling all the packages (Ultimate Soda Packages, Coffee Cards, etc) or from any waiter in the main dining rooms, Horizon Court, alternative restaurants and during events such as the Pub Lunch.(The bar staff is unable to sell this program) The program is offered on voyages that are 10 days or longer (with the exception of our ships based in Australia), however during our initial trial period we tried this concept on all itineraries and not just voyages 10 days or longer. There are odd occasions when the package has not been offered, such as when there is a logistical challenge and a beverage container is not delivered on time in a port.

Currently there are two different packages. (Prices are subject to change)

1.) Silver Tier (any bottle of wine up to and including $29 in retail value)

2.) Gold Tier (any bottle of wine up to and including $45 in retail value)

Silver Tier:

7 Pack - $161

10 Pack - $210

12 Pack - $240

Gold Tier:

7 Pack - $217

10 Pack - $290

12 Pack - $336

Thanks. Missed out again.

 

I heading off on her in October to Tassie and then to Brisbane, we are planning on taking our own wine with us.

 

On the Sun Princess last December the wine that we wanted for dinner was often "out of stock" in the MDR for the 2nd seating, it took about 3 tries to find one they had.

 

I am happy to pay corkage to have a wine that I like.
