Wine Discount

[PACrew]

Does Celebrity have a wine discount like RCCL? Meaning, if you buy wine on-board for dinner for a 7 night cruise, its at a discounted price. Usually you buy right when you get on the ship. RCCL has a program that is reasonable and Im hoping X has the same??????

Not yet. They have a much better wine list than RCCL though. You can also bring bottles on board and pay a corkage fee of $15. We did this on our Hawaii cruise and it worked out great.

Corkage has been raised to $25 and you're only allowed to bring 2 bottles per cabin.

I was planning on taking about six bottles. Sounds like they are cutting off their nose to spite their face. We bring our own or we'll drink water or iced tea at dinner. I can't taste the difference between a $50 bottle or a $5 bottle purchased at the supermarket.

Is there a online list of wines X offers.

 

Thanks in Advance.

We just returned from the Galaxy and we had a wonderful time choosing wine with dinner. There are some gems on the list. We had a Foley Paso Robles Pinot Noir for about $50. It was so good I looked for it when I returned - a newer vintage was $33 - not a bad restaurant mark-up!

JRMEL,

On my cruise (14 nights to Hawai'i aboard GTS Infinity on 22 October 2006), there were some very nice wines that were less expensive than the present corkage fee. Jaques du Boeuf Beaujolais Villages was $23 per bottle, for esample.

$25 cockage plus the 2 bottles only allowance is the beginning of NO BOOZE or WINE allowed to be brought on period. Add to this the increase in the bar set up and we are pretty much stuck. We either don't drink or pay whatever the ship feels like charging for drinks. As for wine, I am happy for those who like the wine list, I, for one, can't tell much difference between wines: some I love, some not, but the cost has little to do with it. Well, I don't like Carlo Rossi or Peter Villa, other than that I would rather have a couple of bottles of $5 or $10 wine than one of $50.00. NMnita
