Quite a few vintners will make a label for you for a certain purchase
amount. Windsor Vineyards (at least they used to) send out Xmas fliers that
they would vanity label amounts down to single cases. You might HOPE they
are vanity labels - I can't imagine a cruise line hiring a good winemaker...

That is my concern as well though the Windsor Vineyard I did have wasn't
a bad just unremarkable Cabernet.

I sailed Crystal last spring and they too have their own label. I was
imediately branded a wine snob for opening my own bottle even though
wine for the night was a gift. I did taste the gift, and can assure you
I made the right decision (even if my wife was embarrassed, but not too
embarrassed to share the good stuff)
