cruisin lady ca Posted July 21, 2017 #76 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Hey Guys! It's OP -- I have finished both versions! I'm so happy you guys have found it helpful! Thank you so much for these lists. I have saved them for future reference and will print copies to have on-board. As many posters mentioned previously, the wine lists are "subject to change" and "subject to availability". Regardless, I encourage folks to ask for the wine list when seated for dinner. If you don't ask, you don't get - and you will see only a very short list of wines printed on the dinner menu. My most recent experience with sommeliers in the MDR left a lot to be desired. With Select Dining, we asked to be seated in a different section each of the first four nights of our cruise because the wine experience was not good. The sommeliers were not very communicative and wine was poured without much discussion. We had the Premium Beverage Package and I was getting pretty frustrated. So, after dinner #3, we made up my mind to enter the MDR from the other entrance, ask for the wine list AND to be seated in a quieter section of the main dining room as the section near the front and the opening to the lower level was just too noisy for us. We were seated in the back of the MDR in a more private section. We finally found a location we really liked a lot - great waiter and assistant waiter, better sommelier (although still not up to the level of the sommelier who took great care of us on a prior cruise) and a complete list of wines for the classic and premium beverage packages. We had no problem getting the wines we chose in the MDR throughout the remainder of our cruise. Edited July 21, 2017 by cruisin' lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersaramoon Posted July 21, 2017 Author #77 Share Posted July 21, 2017 What a smart idea Cruisin' Lady! I don't know why I didn't think to ask for the wine list - strong work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfwescape Posted July 21, 2017 #78 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thank you so much! I was trying to find a list of drinks (rather than just the type of alcohol included) I would hope that a white russian (khalua, vodka and cream) would be included on the classic!

MsSoCalCruiser Posted August 3, 2017 #79 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! My friend and I both always order the same stuff all of the time because we don't know what else to order. We have been studying your list and want to try everything :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
