Grace1107 Posted September 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've read that you can carry on one bottle of wine per person. Can you keep this in your room and drink it in the cabin? If they take it to be consumed at dinner is there a corkage charge? Sailing on the Freedom November 7th (my birthday - yoo hoo). Can't wait.

USA41018 Posted September 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2009 If you take it to the Main Dining Room there is a corkage charge of about $10-$12. Just keep it in your cabin and enjoy before dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpievelour Posted September 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes and Yes. Sometimes they forget to charge you the corkage fee, though.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler353 Posted September 28, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2009 You are correct, the policy is 1 bottle per person. Yes, you can carry it to your room. Being charged a corkage fee seems to be really hit or miss. I have never been charged a fee for taking a bottle of wine to the MDR. I think a lot of it has to do with attitude and the relationship one has with the serving staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillPooh Posted September 28, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Be sure to put the corkscrew in your checked bag; if it's in your carry on, it will be taken away from you (if they see it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder315 Posted September 28, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2009 poor your glass in the room and take it with you to the dining room, heck even bring the bottle, what are they going to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayesouthworth Posted September 28, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Pour a glass of wine and take it to dinner with you. We were once put in the awkward position when we brought our bottle of wine to dinner, and the waiter asked if we wanted to share with the others. Plus, the $10.00 corkage fee is a rip off. JMHO.

CapeCodCruiser Posted September 28, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Be sure to put the corkscrew in your checked bag; if it's in your carry on, it will be taken away from you (if they see it). That is only if flying - you can carry a corkscrew on to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinchem Posted September 28, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes, best thing to do is to pour a glass for two, and bring to dinner. No questions, no sharing...just enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted September 28, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Be sure to put the corkscrew in your checked bag; if it's in your carry on, it will be taken away from you (if they see it). Thanks I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
