We did both years ago when it was part of the grand romance package and loved it. The strawberries and champagne made sail away extra special. (If you have a balcony it is great to enjoy there). We liked the cheese and wine because we had late dining and we were always starved by then. It was a nice treat in between. (We had the canapes one night and did not care for them at all).

We took a cruise for our 5th anniversary and ordered champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to be waiting in our room. It was a perfect start to the vacation.

That doesn't look like the Main Dining Room menu - looks more like one of the pool bar menus? I've never had trouble finding Riesling - it's all I drink for wine.

It is from the standard bar menu. I had never seen a copy of the MDR wine list. I was unaware that it existed. I'm happy to hear there or more choices.

If you are checking luggage, you can put your wine in your checked luggage.  Another option to to stop at a local liquor store before you board.  We have done both!  LOL 

I was afraid of the bottle breaking in my luggage, but that is an idea. Thank you. I'm glad to hear it has worked for others before.

The MDR has it's own list of wines at dinner. My wife likes sweet white wines and has either a Moscato or Reisling with dinner nearly every night (I'm not sure which)

That is fantastic! I didn't know they had a separate wine list for the MDR. Thank you for sharing.

None of the true whites listed will be sweet enough if you like Moscato.

Best to take the advice of @KJones and bring along two bottles of something you know you like.

Unfortunately, we are flying in to the port,  so bringing wine isnt really an option. Thank you for the thought though.

I will be sailing on the Explorer in March. Can anyone advise me on what would be the sweetest white wine? I normally drink moscato or a reisling, but do not see it on the menu. Thank you.

I have done Wines Around the World several times on Explorer. Sometimes it shows up on the cruise planner ahead of time, other times you just have to look at the Cruise Compass onboard. Whether it is offered or not often depends on the sommeliers onboard as well. 
I do always enjoy the class when I get a chance to do it!

Thank you for the info. I will watch the cruise planner.

Does anyone know if a wine tasting class is usually offered on the Explorer of the Seas? If so, where does one sign up for it? 

Thank you,

Thank you this is very helpful.  

Can anyone tell me what a good price for the Surf and Stream package is? I have to have internet access and I am hoping to get a deal on it. I already purchased it for $13.99 a day an didn't know if it ever dropped lower

Thank you

When you purchase anything in the cruise planner you will be charged immediately.  It’s part of the checkout process.  
 

If the price drops or you simply change your mind you can cancel your purchase for a refund.  

Thank you very much for the information. 

This is my first time using the Royal Caribbean Cruise Planner for my trip in August.  I need to buy the internet package.  If I purchase it today, when am I charged dor it? If it goes on sale later, is it possible to cancel the order for a full refund and repurchase it at the lower price? Thank you for the help. This is my first cruise in 12 years

I didn't see it on the Harmony in September -- we brought our own.

Thank you. I will be sure to do the same.

Does anyone know if stevia (the green package) is offered as a sweetener on Royal Caribbean. I am sailing on the Explorer of the Seas in March and wanted to know if I should pack my own.
