WickedRed Posted September 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Yeah. I've heard some say it's not bad. However I think it definitely need a mixer like orange juice or cranberry juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted September 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) If it hasn't changed, it is Duc De Valmer Brut. It makes great mimosas. Don't think I'd drink it straight though. Locally, it sells for $5.99 a bottle. Edited September 17, 2019 by roger001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted September 17, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Few people have claimed anything positive. I think NCL would do FAR better getting rid of it. 😀. I always leave it. All that’s involved- ordering, shipping, loading, storing, lists generated, Pick up/delivery. And the cost of the product. !!!!! use the time and money elsewhere.

MNcruisingcouple Posted September 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2019 We've shared ours with people who haven't had the beverage package. But, on our last two cruises, we just left it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, on our last two cruises, we just left it. I've done that when cruising solo; once you open it you can't reseal it even if you actually tolerated it. You meet a nice couple, they take back to their balcony and make the best of it. Opening up a bottle of that wine in the room is better than none by a long shot. Though its main asset may be that it gives us something to harmlessly gripe about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casofilia Posted September 17, 2019 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Get glasses from your steward. Get a glass of apple juice at breakfast, cool in the fridge all day. Apple juice and sparkling 50.50 for drink at dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmecruise1962 Posted September 18, 2019 #15 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I wondered how many times the bottles are "recycled" when they are left behind! I looked at my bottle and thought "How many times were you left behind?" Then I opened it and it exploded (warm) all over everything...and I wished I had left it too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippeedee Posted September 18, 2019 #16 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The honeymooners on their first cruise were happy to receive it when I handed the bottle over the balcony rail. I hope they felt the same way later! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should scrap the current program and instead give Platinum and above a nice bottle of wine in their room instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halberd7 Posted September 18, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) We tried mixing it with orange juice.... the OJ was better on its own. Edited September 18, 2019 by halberd7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmexicoNita Posted September 18, 2019 #20 Share Posted September 18, 2019 we usually take it to M&G and share it, mixed with fruit juice. It is a fun way to use the bottle ON its own it isn't as bad as some say, but as expected it isn't first rate either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmecruise1962 Posted September 18, 2019 #21 Share Posted September 18, 2019 We opened it warm to add it to glasses with OJ and ice. How do you get it cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janabanana1701 Posted September 18, 2019 #22 Share Posted September 18, 2019 My just turned drinking age son thought it was great, though I agree with the above posters - its much better cold and with OJ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
