JLMoran 7,430 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just found this while searching for an example full wine list at Vintages. It's a good use of technology, not sure how long ago they released this video as there's no date I could find on the page, also not sure if / when this is being rolled out to the rest of the fleet. Should be an easy thing to apply fleet-wide as it doesn't require anything more than getting the iPads and iPod Touches and installing the apps / integrating to the ship's SeaPass card system. https://www.royalcaribbeanpresscenter.com/video/182/savvy-sommelier-digital-menus-at-vintages/ You can now order wines via iPad, and the order is transmitted to iPod Touch units carried by the wine tenders. It will recommend wines based on your existing tastes, and everything is displayed in a much wider selection of languages than RCI could manage with printed menus. And if you order in, say, German, that order shows up translated to the English equivalent on the wine tender's iPod Touch (or, I'd assume, whatever language that person set as their preference). Apologies if this was actually posted a while back. Searched this forum before posting, didn't find anything. Katelynnhab 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DocLC 2,015 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I haven't seen this posted previously on the boards, but I can't speak for the blog. Interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLMoran 7,430 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Not on the main blog either, at least not with a search for "vintages iPad" (minus the quotes). May be old news for RCI, but it looks like it's new here. 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jce2 243 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Is there an actual list of Vintages wines anywhere? Does it vary by ship? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've previously posted pictures of the Vintages menu from Anthem of the Seas. It does vary by ship and ship location. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DocLC 2,015 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just curious. Does ordering on an iPad make the wines taste any better? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wanderer 29 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just now, DocLC said: Just curious. Does ordering on an iPad make the wines taste any better? ;) Probably not. I think to myself it would give some added value when I could browse current list and get more information of available wines from tablet. If I still after browsing have something special to ask from sommelier I can. I just usually like to operate that way. DocLC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
