The way these things work, if you don&#39;t finish a bottle one night, the waiter will see that it&#39;s corked and stored for you to drink the next night. As difficult as this may be for our friends to swallow, that&#39;s precisely what we did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Twenty-four hours later, the junior waiter was pouring the wine when, for whatever reason, he spilled some onto the table. Hey, it happens. We&#39;ve done the same thing at home&#8230;well, one of us has.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, the question is: What to do about the missing wine?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The senior waiter took the bottle away, returning a few minutes with it in one hand, and a small carafon half full of wine in the other hand. In other words, he more than replaced the wine once he had found another bottle that was the same&#8230;and it was the same.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now, what if that had been a bottle we&#39;d brought onto the ship? None was a wine on the ships menu, so how would he have replaced the wine? What if it had been a special wine, a special vintage, the kind that on a ship you will only get in a specialty restaurant and maybe not even there?<\/p>\n<p>We&#39;re just saying&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12028\" height=\"125\" src=\"http:\/\/cruisingdoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DailyDeal-2-e1334202169354.jpg\" title=\"DailyDeal-2\" width=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/ships-activities\/ships\/wonder\/\">Disney Wonder<\/a><br \/>\n\t4 nights<br \/>\n\tFebruary 21, 2013<br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.miami.com\/\">Miami<\/a> (return): <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keywest.com\/\">Key West<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nassauparadiseisland.com\/\">Nassau<\/a>, Castaway Cay<br \/>\n\tInside: $399<br \/>\n\t<span style=\"color:#ff0000;\"><strong>Cost per day: $99<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/\">www.disneycruise.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you start accusing us of wining about wining, the following is not a complaint, just an observation.
