Which package for wine with dinner.

[pjgavaghan]

Last year we cruised with Celebrity and were very pleased with our choice of the premium beverage package. The one thing we liked was the wine steward (can't spell the S word). Would come to

Our table each night and assist with our wine selection(s). Does RCCL offer anything like this with any of their beverage packages.

No, Royal got rid of the sommelier years ago. They do list suggested wine pairings in the menu now.

There are RCI wine lists floating around the internet. Mostly overpriced wine of large vineyards' moderate or entry-level offerings. RCI buys fleet wide not per ship, so individual ships have basically the same lists, give or take some bottles. There are still some good wines at all prices but as inflated as any over priced restaurants.

 

Cruises no longer cater to the gourmet with refined tastes

This is as accurate as when I received this information, I am sure there are variances from ship to ship, but for the most part should be available on most.
