Am I the only one who doesn't like the house "champagne"? As far as I am aware the only venue you can buy a decent glass of champagne is Murano etc.

The bottle that they give you in a Suite, or I think also in Concierge class, is pretty good. It use to be a Perrier Jouet, but maybe it's been downgraded since.

Martini Bar

I think it's been downgraded.

Thanks Ham. I'll remember that.

I think it's been downgraded.

 

The free bottle they give you is a no name brand. Used to be good though.

Used to be right next to the Martini bar. A bar specializing in only champagne. Maybe it's gone the way of the dodo??

[jules57]

Gone unfortunately

The M Class ships had an area called the Champagne Bar, but when they were remodeled, the bar was removed to make way for other venues

I think Cellar Masters has champagne by the glass.

You can purchase the real stuff in other places. Certainly on our last cruise on Constellation there was a good choice in Cellar Masters. Most bars will collect any drinks that they do not hold from another location if you ask [although I guess that you would not be popular for expecting that at the Martini Bar when they are really busy!].

 

Our experience on Celebrity has always been that they will do their best to serve you with anything provided it is on board - unlike NCL where they actually refused to serve me Champagne at the Champagne Bar because they did not have a bottle already open!

We like to bring a good bottle of champagne as one of our two bottles you can bring on board. We really enjoy a glass with a light snack on our balcony in the afternoon.

While not Champagne, I find the Domaine Chandon Brut to be rather serviceable - certainly better than the house pour and available at nearly all if not all bars.

Thanks for all your tips.

MDR has some nice options, including some nice prosecco options. In Tuscan they were out of a nice prosecco by the glass so our wine steward brought a wonderful bottle over on the house.

 

They've definitely downgraded the champagne in CC and Suites. It is now a cheap sparkling wine that I definitely do not care for, but hey its free so we can't complain.

 

Next time we board, however, we will definitely bring a nice bottle with us to enjoy on the balcony.
