The Library Bar (with Automatic Wine Dispensers!) on Carnival Breeze

Prior to the Carnival Breeze, I'm not sure that I've ever stepped foot into the library on a cruise ship. Yes, most ships have libraries -- it's a quiet spot to read or play board games, but, in my opinion, they're rarely utilized.

The library on the Carnival Breeze is different. It has a bar ... The Library Bar ... with automatic wine dispensers!!

Personally, I think it's genius.

The Library Bar gives the boring old ship library personality. The addition of self-serve wine dispensers, featuring both reds and whites, makes the library more accessible -- it's easy to stop in, sample a few wines, and check out one of the many port guidebooks. It's also a great place to relax with a before- or after- dinner drink.

What I love about the wine dispensers is that you can try a new wine at a lower price point, before commiting to a whole glass. It's also fun to create your own wine flights. Wines are dispensed in two-, four-, and six-ounce pours, and range in price from $2.25 for a generous tasting of Vouvray, to $15 for a full glass of Barolo.

Using the machines is super easy: pick up a wine glass, insert your Sign & Sail card and select your wine/tasting size -- then, hold your glass under the spout, where it's precisely poured. Each bottle of wine is stored at the perfect temperature, guaranteeing freshness.

If you're a fan of the old ship library, don't worry -- the addition of the wine dispensers and the bar doesn't take away from the quiet, cozy feel of the room.

    I had no idea cruise ships have libraries. The addition of wine definitely steps it up.

    I so did not know that cruise ships had libraries. If I ever go on another cruise, I am going to be looking for one.

    Wow, that is awesome. Who would have thought you could get a good read and wine all at the same time on a cruise ship.

    OMG I LOVE IT! What a great idea. I've seen similar set-ups in all-inclusive resorts, but never on a cruise ship before.
