When bottles are brought on board and served or consumed in any restaurant, public room area or in their stateroom, a corkage fee will be charged according to bottle sizes noted below. 750 ml Bottle: $15.00 1,000 ml Bottle: $ 20.00 1,500 ml Magnum: $30.00 Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted September 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Pay the corkage, get a sticker on the bottle. You can then keep it with you and take it where you like, or, take it to a bar or dining room and give it to them. They will give you a ticket and anywhere on the ship, they will retrieve it and serve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted September 9, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 9, 2012 In the unlikely event you have a bottle or more left over, you can get a refund of the corkage fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karysa Posted September 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I brought two bottles in my carry on last march on the Dawn. If I were to do it again I would pull them out and show the security staff prior to my bag being screened. They acted like they had found contraband. I am a picky wine drinker so I was glad to have my chosen wine but if you are not that fussy it is probably easier and not that more expensive to just purchase it while on board.

rvsullivan Posted September 10, 2012 #13 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Corkage fee's have nothing to do with how the bottle is sealed. It's a term used to cover lost revenue to to the ship. Some restaurants on land do the same thing if you bring your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corby114 Posted September 13, 2012 #17 Share Posted September 13, 2012 It's so much easier to purchase a wine package onboard than having to carry a few bottles with you. They would rather have you buy from them than charging you the corkage fee. I would only bring wine with me if I was that fussy because they didn't sell the brand that I really liked. On a seven day cruise a five bottle wine package is the way to go. On a recent Carnival Dream cruise in August on the first day my wife wanted a glass of white wine before sailaway. The bartender told her she was better off purchasing a bottle for twenty five dollars instead of a glass for eight. She purchased the bottle and my cousin and his wife finished it off in our cabin a few days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith wow. in the stateroom?! even if you do the honors yourself?! I am not morally opposed to corkage fees for public venues, but this seems a bit greedy even for the cruise lines.

hotrod610 Posted September 13, 2012 Author #20 Share Posted September 13, 2012 too bad norweigen doesn't offer wines packages i still think your better off bringing your own if the bottle costs 10 dollars and corkage is 15 dollars its is still cheaper than what the cruise is charging usually cheapest bottle is 31 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
