Vine Bar at Caribbean Princess.

Welcome to The Vine Bar, Caribbean Princess' premiere European style wine bar. I really enjoyed my time  here: not only they serve amazing selection of all kinds of wine, but you also get a special appetizer accompanying your wine: a choice of sushi, ceviche,selection of  artisan cheese  and fruits, or truly delicious Italian meatballs. During the voyage, sommelier will host various themed wine tastings. I could attend only one - the "Old World Wines", and left very pleased with the presentation. Both sommeliers are very knowledgeable and friendly, helping you to find a right wine for your taste, and recommending some new selections.

Free Drinks on Caribbean Princess Cruise

When you are traveling single on the cruise it is more tempting to have that glass of wine at the bar - it feels like it is easier to socialize with a glass in the hand ( works the same for happy hours on the land, doesn't it?).  I noticed first day that some folks didn't know about tipping policy onboard - they would be trying to include bartender's tips in the bill, that already has 15% of gratuity added by default. Well, I found prices in Caribbean Princess cruise quite reasonable, especially comparing to Philadelphia downtown's bars.

What is nice, Caribbean Princess has "After 8 pm" specials, where for $2.99 you can get Pina Colada, Singapore Sling or Long Island Iced Tea - sweet, isn't?! Almost free! And talking about sweet: one of the best cocktails I tried on Caribbean Princess was Strawberry Shortcake - be careful, it is really addicting!

The same "After 8 pm" promotion includes home spirits for the same $2.99 - about 60% savings. Unfortunately, there was no special deals for wine. 

Remember, you always can get a free champagne on Art Auction and Champagne Waterfall.
