Wine Package Prices?

[rsschneck]

I checked another sight to find out about the wine selections with the wine packages. Does anyone have more current information as far as the cost of the wine packages? Types of wines available to choose from? Is it a good value?

We are going on the 14 day Repo. cruise and I am sure we can drink 7 bottles in 14 days.

The list that I used before our cruise came from either castawaycayclub.com or disneycruiserinfo.com. It was pretty accurate for us. We cruised in Nov '04. We did the 7 night premium wine package for $249 and it worked out fine. We had four adults in our group. We liked the: Fairy Tale Cuvee, sparkling white, the Caymus Conundrum, and the Greg Norman Shiraz. I cant remember if we liked the King Estate Pino, but that was also a wine that we had.

We also bought a piece of wine carrying luggage that holds 6 bottles . You can check it at the airline or wherever, just like a piece of luggage so you don't have to lug it like a carryon. It has worked great for the 5 years we've been using it. It was nice to order the cheese tray before dinner and sit on the veranda and have a glass of wine. Then you could actually carry one glass to dinner with you in a plastic "drink of the day" glass. We didn't think of it, but I don't think it would be a problem.

Let me know if you have a specific wine you want me to check from our list of choices from our cruise.

Good luck!

Sounds handy. Could you provide some details about this luggage? Manufacturer? Is it hard-sided? Wheels? Where is it available? Thanks.

We bought it from a catalogue, IWA (International Wine Accessories). They have a website, iwawine.com

Here's the description of the 6 bottle wine luggage: "Our insulated wine trolleys are the perfect companion for the traveling wine lover. Both the 6 and 12 bottle come with padded compartment dividers, rubber wheels and balancing feet at the base so the bags are steady at rest. Telescoping handles make traveling easy as both bags fit most overhead compartments. Made of black canvas with a polyester lining and PVC backing. 6 bottle- $79.95"

We have always checked our piece like luggage at the airport and bottles have transported without a hitch for the years we have used it.

Good luck whatever you decide.
