Bill'sBride Posted September 17, 2017 #101 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I am told by Viking you can use your OBC for the Silver Spirits as long as you buy the package once you board, but not if you buy it in advance.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums[/quote'] Right. And same goes for using it to buy shorex. The advance purchase system is not set up to allow you to use it to check out, and putting it in your shopping cart will not hold a shorex for you to purchase once on board.

Dauntless Posted September 17, 2017 #103 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have been under the impression you cannot use OBC to purchase the Silver Bev. Pkg. Anyone have the "real story" about that? No experience but I think the thing with OBC is you can not use it before you get on board. Since there is no advantage to purchasing it early, why no wait? Like someone mentioned, you can sample the premium wines, like a test drive before you buy the car. The real answer though is probably to ask Tellus@vikingcruises.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted September 17, 2017 #104 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Understand re using OBC in advance. Celebrity recently changed this though which was fantastic. Including purchasing excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventureGal79 Posted October 10, 2017 #108 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Did I just hear that Riesling might be one of the included wines for those of us who didn’t get the Silver Spirits package?

sadawson1 Posted January 1, 2018 #109 Share Posted January 1, 2018 So if you make a purchase over the per item allotment do you just say the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hqarang Posted January 3, 2018 #110 Share Posted January 3, 2018 There has been a lot of discussion about wines in the SS package, but not much else. I have reviewed the bar menu provided a few posts back and do not see anything about premium spirits. We prefer Bourbon (premium) but the only bourbon on the menu is Jim Beam - which is definitely not premium. Yet, when I look at the River cruises bar menu they actually have premium spirits in a different section of the menu and do include some premium bourbons. Does anyone know anything about what kind of "spirits" are considered premium....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know anything about what kind of "spirits" are considered premium....... I have a similar question. Premium spirits, specifically single malt scotch, questions are seemingly never answered. The sample menu that only has Glenfiddich and Aberlour 10 do not offer much help. Where is a good answer to what’s offered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceLovesSailing Posted March 9, 2018 #112 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hqarang In January 2018 on the Sun they had Jack Daniels and Maker’s Mark. I believe there were others but I’m not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This clears the wine 🍷 confusion. Many wines simply not offered by the glass and therefore, not on the SSBP. It’s not the quality, or price, but whether they are offered by the glass. Quite a selection if you just buy your wine by the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Clay Clayton Posted March 10, 2018 #125 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Well six reds vs seven whites....none are spectacular though the wine steward suggest the 667 Pinot Noir as being the best match with the Manfredi’s steak (I had initially ordered the malbec) and boy was he right.
