Wine Package - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

I have looked high and low on HAL's website but do not see if they offer a wine package like RCCL does. I know I can buy a bottle of wine as a welcome gift but if they offer a wine package I would prefer to either buy that or put enough on board credit on my friend's account to buy it when they get on. Any one know if they offer the wine package and what the prices might be? Thanks.

I'm sure Yonnie will know!

She is not online right now, but should be back in a couple of hours.

I know Royal Caribbean offers several packages with 5, 7 and more bottles in 3 different quality levels. Have not sailed HAL in a few years, but when I did they did not offer a package like RCI.

okay I am going to ask that same question on the Celebrity boards too because I have friends going out on that too next month.

Pretty pricey Bon Voyage gifts!

Yonnie, do you know if they offer the same thing to be purchased onboard, and if so, is the price the same?

Krazy Kruizers · 08-24-2009, 01:40 PM

Yes -- they offer the same packages on board all the ships -- and the same prices -- no discounts.

Char · 08-24-2009, 01:46 PM

Thanks!

Krazy Kruizers · 08-24-2009, 07:39 PM

HAL no longer gives discounts if you attend their wine samplings.

And at one time if you ordered between a certain each day HAL would give you 10% off the cost of a bottle of wine -- gone!!

I find that its a lot cheaper to buy your wine before you board. I also buy a bottle on board to drink each night at supper time. in the dining room .
my better half doesn't drink so a bottle usually last me for the week .
I am partial to California wine.
