I typically only drink red, however my daughter likes rose and we are splitting the package. I have found when it's hot out a chilled rose is nice too. Need to find a nice white wine for the summer, not too oaky or heavy.
We are on the 10 night in July. They did have a bubbly one like a prosecco but we didn't want that for dinner. I believe that's the one.
Thanks, I think we will stick to the standard, bummer they can't offer one in each.
I'm about 50/50 in agreement with many of your posts (and that's not a bad thing, we all have opinions). But I have to agree with you whole heartedly on this one; especially a very good Pinot Noir. Only problem I have is I like red and my wife likes white.

They could have been a concierge guest too.
Rose is not white zin. Rose is made from a variety of grapes including Grenache, Pinot nous, cab franc. It can be made with Zinfandel but rarely - and it is not the white zin that more aligns with the moscato of today.
Eh, it's pink. LOL.
The main issue I have with getting wine by the glass is the variability of the pours. I think that I get a short pour at least half the time. Some of the bartenders are stretching the 750 ml bottle to get 6 pours (125 ml or ~4+ oz) rather than the “standard” 5 pours (150 ml or ~5 oz). Since the price per glass is frequently about 1/4th the price of the bottle, there’s already an extra premium in the wine-by-the-bottle pricing even when they get 5 glasses per bottle. No need to stretch it even more. I’ve been buying wine by the bottle (either as part of the wine package or as a single bottle), drinking half, and having the assistant server bring the bottle to the next MDR the following night where I finish it. Most red wines (my preference) seem to hold up well for two nights. Drinking half of a bottle provides two generous (~6+ oz or 187.5 ml) pours at a price that approximates the price of two much smaller pours when purchased by the glass.
I’m so with you! My daughter and I split the package last summer; she picked half white and I picked half red. Her’s came to the table in a chiller and we averaged a bottle each every 2+ mdr sittings. It was definitely more economical than per glass. Just deciding how many each for 10 nights in July! Plus since I preorder, that’s paid for before cruise. Maybe a sparkling for mimosas needs to be added. Cheers!
