LB_NJ Posted May 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Supposedly the Britannia cabin comes with a half bottle of wine. Do they supply the corkscrew (assuming not screw top)? Also, if I bring my own wine on board to drink in the room, am I correct in assuming I need to bring a corkscrew? Any issues bringing a corkscrew through security?

Ray66 Posted May 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2018 It's sparkling wine. You just take off the metal cage and ease off the cork with your thumbs, taking care not to let the cork fly off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you take wine that you want to drink in your cabin, it would be best to take a corkscrew. Your cabin steward may be able to loan you one, but I've never had any issue taking a simple one onboard with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted May 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The small blade for cutting foil is within the (four inch?) size limit for possessing onboard the cruise, so no problem with a Corkscrew. Airlines might be more restrictive but generally a Corkscrew is ok on a plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted May 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Airlines might be more restrictive but generally a Corkscrew is ok on a plane. I thought so too,but had one confiscated at Malaga Airport. Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted May 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Either choose your selection of Carry-on wines that have a screw top or, suffer the embarrassment of traipsing along to the nearest bar venue and ask those crew members to oblige . I don't think you can 'always rely' on a stateroom steward to loan you a 'corkscrew', the amount of folk who take wine onboard ,they'd have to have an endless supply on hand. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldBear Posted May 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I recall seeing Cunard logo corkscrews for sale - one of the few practical items in the shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
