Does NCL include any Champagne in their beverage packages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted December 9, 2018 #27 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Not when we last traveled with NCL in 2016, just Prosecco. This was the by the glass wine list. It might have changed since then. I could not find a recent list on the NCL website. If someone has one, please post! I’ll be on the Star in 2 weeks, so I’ll report back.

Rare cml4958 Posted December 9, 2018 #28 Share Posted December 9, 2018 @HBCcruiser I believe some venues have ipads for menus so that may be why you're not seeing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and the link to the Wine List on the NCL website is not working. Perhaps they are revising it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zitsky Posted December 9, 2018 Author #30 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We are having brunch so I opened a bottle of Lucien Albrecht Cremant d'Alsace. Not Champagne but nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is actually 4 pages long (it includes the by the bottle list). Here is the red by the glass list. I usually prefer a full-bodied cabernet. The North South blend was rather good and fit under the UBP pricing limits. This list is no longer on the NCL website, which leads me to think that they might be changing it. I will be on the NCL Star December 21st so I will post the list if available. Edited December 11, 2018 by HBCcruiser spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price for Veuve Clicquot is 2-3x the retail price. I didn't know Dom was an option. Maybe you're referring to another cruise line? I am talking about NCL, There is always 3 of us that would buy bottled. Two of us would buy a bottle of Dom at our local liquor store for apprx. $169-$179 and the 3rd would wait until we boarded and she would go buy her own bottle and would get it for $175-$185 so now instead of us adding weight to our suitcases and bringing it all the way from Vegas we just buy it on the ship. (If you wait until you are at sea you save even more obviously because of not paying tax but that doesn't work for the sail away of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetnspicy Posted December 12, 2018 #37 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Now I really want a nice bottle of champagne for sail away!! I only bring a carry on suit case though so I would have to check it or try to find somewhere close to the pier in San Pedro to buy a bottle the night before.

If you find a place in San Pedro, let me know. We are flying in the night before and our hotel is in San Pedro. Thinking of finding a place there too.

Map show the location to be 2.3 miles from the cruise port (World Cruise Center Berth SP-92 San Pedro, CA 90731) Hope this info is helpful!

I have tried Dom and VC. I'm happy with VC. I think Dom is overrated. If you like VC and wanted to go a step up, their La Grande Dame is usually fabulous.

If you are flying into LAX there is a Costco on the way to San Pedro off the 405 in Hawthorne that carries good champagne, Veuve and Dom, at good prices. You would need to chill it before hand though. I like my bubbly cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to check and see how close to the hotel we are staying at. Maybe I can get one on our way to the ship as our flight is getting in later than planned and not sure we will make it to Target before they close.
