  1. Unless you are planning on bringing ultra-expensive wines onboard, like $25+ retail, I don't see the value in dragging your own on board.

     

    If you consider the onboard discount wine packages, which gives you a 20% discount, you still have to pay 15% tip. That's just a net 5% savings. A $37 bottle of J. Lohr Cabernet is $15 retail, plus the $15 corkage you pay upon boarding, makes it $30. Onboard it's $37- add the 15% tip and deduct the 20% discount and it's $34. I'd rather pay that extra $4 x 7 days= $28 more to buy it onboard. Although, I haven't located the link on these boards with the exact wine choices for the wine packages...can someone help me there?

     

    If you're more into the lower-range $5 retail wines, your final price of $20 bottle with corkage will probably be a better value.

     

    Makes sense to me to just buy on board for the mid-range wines and skip the carry-on hassle. Carrying on low and high end wines will get you the better bargain.
