yes it's basically the same

Hello Ladies of Olivia!  We just started looking at the groups for our cruise and Mimosas caught our eyes!  We would love to join in the mimosa fun.  How many bottles can we carry on?  We will be there, ready to party!

-Allison and Michele

LOL Jana, I think you forgot the bold faced type on that! (but I knew what you meant!)

I have become enamoured of Prosecco...an Italian dry white sparking wine. I may bring some now that you mention champagne but not sure I'll be up at 9

 cheers!

"We are planning a Mimosa Party for Monday morning as we sail the inside passage! Bring a bottle of champagne and we can get all the juice we need from the buffets as we get our breakfast...

When: 9:00 AM - Monday morning 
Where: Sea View Pool - that's the pool at the very back of the ship on Lido deck

Everyone is welcome! Even if you don't drink champagne! Wine and champagne can be carried onto the ship, so stop and buy a bottle on Saturday before we get on board!"
...so we'll see you all there!!!  

BUMP!!! 

Sounds like we'll be having lots of good wine and champagne!!!

As I found out in Cancun, it may not be champagne.  Sometimes it's red wine.  (If you've been on 5 or more trips) they leave one free bottle in your room on the first day.  There's also a little party (about an hour long) during the cruise, where you get a pin with the number of trips you've been on, and they serve champagne and cake.

Actually a couple of my favourites are Blue Mountain and Kettle Valley, neither of which are VQA because they are too small..........but too die for.  I will look into where you can find them in Vancouver.

As for BC VQA.....some of the Mission Hill and Quails Gate are fab.  Not to dis my Ontario friends, but Quails Gate Late Harvest is to die for.

Oh and forgot to say, Colleen, love the quote about Australian Shiraz.  My favourite drop.

Ha ha Jayne, just a bit of fun.  Actually, champagne is not really my thing. I'd much prefer a good red.

Colleen, when you find some local liquid gold, I'd be interested to hear ...  Sounds like you're the wine expert. How lucky can one be, having a wine expert on the cruise??!!  Takes all the guesswork and pain out of finding a good drop.
