Wine only package?

[Sandypaws21]

We are going on our first cruise at the end of October on Rhapsody from Rome. When we were first researching it all, I'm pretty sure I saw on RC website that they offered a wine package where you could buy x number bottles. I can't seem to find this anywhere now - does anyone know if it has been taken off? We aren't really interested in any other drinks, but like a bottle of wine with our evening meal.

It's no longer available online but some ships have still been selling it onboard. Really all you can do is check once you embark. Also, I'm not sure if you knew this, but you can take 2x 750ml bottles of wine per cabin on with you when you embark.

They have also lowered some of the wine prices, so depending on what wine you like, it may be the same price as when you purchased a package.

Thanks for the replies. We'll just wait and see once we get there.

You can take as many bottles of wine onboard as you want. 2 per couple are free and then there is a corkage charge for the rest.

 

Buying wine in Italy before you board might be the best bargain.

You must be thinking of another cruise line. There are no corkage fees on Royal, and the limit is two bottles per stateroom, no matter how many guests in the stateroom.

Pre order bottles via gifts and gear!

Can you bring your 2 allowed bottles into the dining room? Thanks.

Yes, no corkage fee too.

Yes, no corkage fee too.

 

That's great - I drink old vine zinfandels and they are not easy to find on ships.

Excellent...thanks for the quick response.

Not sure if they have it anymore, but they used to have the Cline Zin, which I thought was old vine.

Just checking! You said all RCL ships so I guess that includes the Oasis. Celebrating a birthday on the 9/12 cruise and would love to take along a couple bottles of our favorite wine.

You should have no problem.

I just might take a couple of bottles with me in November and then check it out once I'm on the ship. Doing another RCI cruise in March, so it will be good to know. Thanks for the tip.

On a couple of recent cruises the MDR offered a 20% discount on two different bottles of wine each night. The selection changed so it wasn't the same bottles all cruise.
