Ed Posted June 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2014 5 bottles $165. Is this per person or total for 5 bottles? Can you choose any 5 from their list of the 10 listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2014 5 bottles $165. Is this per person or total for 5 bottles? Can you choose any 5 from their list of the 10 listed? The $165 is the total for the 5 bottles. You can choose any 5 from their list. They can be 5 different bottles, all the same, or any combination.

Daghis Posted June 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Can you choose any 5 from their list of the 10 listed? As Bob said, you can choose your five bottles however you wish, but I was confused by the "10 listed" part. There are 2 sparkling, 9 white, and 10 red wines listed in their Wine & Dine package list. Perhaps you were only counting their red wines, but I wanted to make sure you knew the full selection available to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted June 13, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yes thank you was only counting the reds. From what I can tell from the list of reds most at retail where between $15 - $20 bottles of wine. Say even on the high side $20 x 5 is $100.00. There package is $165? Typically restaurant mark up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted June 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If you haven't seen this before, it may help as it compares the per-bottle pricing with the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshirt Posted June 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think the OP is asking why can they not purchase different size packages (5, 7 , 10 bottles) since the planner only shows the price for the 5 bottle package. The answer to that question is that once you click "Add to Cart", then you are presented with the different size packages and can select how many bottles you wish to purchase.

Actually, we have found Royal's mark-up to be less than a typical big city restaurant, especially for the higher end wines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted June 13, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi Daghis Thanks for the info. Where did you get the list price on the wines? I priced them all out on wine searchers and the reds came nowhere near those prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted June 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) The list price is Royal Caribbean's price if you buy those wines by the bottle a la carte onboard. They were taken from another Cruise Critic member's information that was collected from a cruise in 2013. They seemed to still reflect the current reality during my cruise this past March.

MichaelCMTX Posted June 18, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 18, 2014 So getting the 5 bottle package and ordering Moscato each time probably wasn't the best move :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 18, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 18, 2014 So getting the 5 bottle package and ordering Moscato each time probably wasn't the best move :o It's crazy that you have to have access to a spreadsheet to know what kind of deal you are getting. Years ago, the Wine Package was a good deal, you saved money on every bottle. Now you have to be careful because they raised the price and changed the selections.
