Tned123 Posted September 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Have booked a cruise for Jan 24. I'm interested in hearing from those who have used the new "More" beverage plan. I know its beer and wine at lunch and dinner. I'm interested to know if there are any house wines available by bottle or carafe ? are second pours by the glass freely offered? any difference in how it's served at terrace buffet? Thanks in advance for any consumer feedback about this. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be like the House Select beverage package that allows you to choose any wine/champagne by the glass on the menu so lots of choices. They pour from a bottle so no carafes onboard. You can have as many refills as you wish while dining. There is no difference in the glass of wines offered in Terrace, Waves or GDR. There are some different ones offered in the specialty restaurants. There are no discounts on purchasing full bottles of wine - you are better off to bring your own bottle of wine onboard and take with you to dining and pay the $25.00 corkage fee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiesan Posted September 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2023 With the current wine package, can you have your glass filled at dinner and then take it with you to drink later in your cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Package specified “with lunch and dinner only”. You always can have a bottle of wine in your cabin to drink without paying a corkage fee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw many leaving the GDR and Terrace Cafe with a glass of wine. Never saw at specialty restaurants. So I followed and joined the tradition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you decide not to follow it’s most likely no one on Oceania ships will stop you for this particular one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta like the rules state a limit of 6 bottles can be brought onboard and is strictly enforced?? And the guidelines on attire? And the rules on chair hogs at the pool? Not many on this site seem to understand the 6 bottle limit it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a limit as it states "may" not "will" be kept until debarkation.....as long as you abide by consuming the alcohol in your cabin then it is not a problem...let's not start that discussion again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, breaking any of the rules that you mentioned would never demonstrate the best behavior. Some of them would affect more than others the enjoyment of those around you on the ship. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Psoque Posted September 26, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I’m going to be onboard Riviera in November of this year. I wonder how are they going to tell apart who paid for “simply more” and who didn’t. Or are well all going to be dealt as though we are all “simply more?”. We did not opt into “simply more,” since the prices we already had were very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like O Life beverage package you will probably need to show your card If you do not have either deal then they will charge drinks to your account 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nparmelee Posted September 27, 2023 #13 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Our cruise starts 10/17, I'm sure we'll hear from someone in the first days of SM. We had OLife with standard beverage package, OBC and shorex and did NOT convert to SM. Will post our experiences as soon as we can. We plan on testing it at lunch that first day.... 🍷 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
