New Sommelier Suite / Wine Packages with adjusted prices

[Alphen]

Found an updated Sommelier Suite listing of the wine packages. Do not know if wines have been changed, but prices have changed in some cases, not all.

Looks like the selection on Cellar 1 is the same as we just had but the price has increased by $9 for the 8 bottle package ($219 to $228) and $5 for the 4 and 6 bottle packages. 
 

Since the price has been the same for several years the 4-5%  increase is actually less than I expected it to be. 
 

Cellar 2 and 3 prices seem to have not increased and in some cases actually decreased slightly.

Prices for us are still quite the deal.....especially with the 50% Mariner Discount.....

 

Package one is $14.25 a bottle (8 bottle package) + 18% tip on $28.50 = $19.38 a bottle......That's less than $5 a glass (4 pours to the bottle).......(somebody double-check my math)

 

Enjoy the journey....and the onboard wine prices!

Agreed. The mariner’s discount makes it the best deal at sea.

Is there a discount for buying a Sommelier Suite wine package pre-cruise? 

I'd rather buy one onboard where I could find out for sure which wines are included, but only being a two star Mariner, I don't expect to get a discount onboard.

There is no discount pre-cruise. Many if not most wait to buy onboard for (1) your reason, as wines are not guaranteed to be available, (2) to buy with OBC, including discounted OBC such as from AARP, and (3) the bartender or bar server or MDR steward will get some credit for selling the package. Here is a very recent Sommelier Suite listing:
