Yeah, I had read that about the "corkage fee"....jeeze. I know that I read somewhere (similar to elsewhere but not to be confused with any freakin' place but here ) that there is now a wine package for the 4-day cruise. I can be honest here and say that my husband and I have very unsophisticated taste...we're a few steps up from MD 20/20, but not much. We're concerned that our uneducated palates won't appreciate the finer wines, and maybe we should just bring a bottle or two of our tried and true favorites. We are planning on taking the wine tasting class, but if I am reading it right, that's only offered the last day at sea of the cruise. Seems it would make more sense and be a better marketing tool for their wines to do it at the beginning of the cruise, but what do I know?
In any case, nothing about this will make or break the cruise....I know we're going to have a blast, and we are very excited about our winter getaway!
