jenny2865 Posted September 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've heard, can't remember where, that on RCI they won't let you re-cork and save a bottle for dinner the next night. If this true - will affect my decision to buy a package or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler80 Posted September 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Oh my last cruise my mother was not able to finish the whole bottle, so it was kept for her until the next night. Unless the rules have changed, this is the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goes Cruising Posted September 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2012 You can recork it for the next night, you can take it with you. Not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this true - will affect my decision to buy a package or not. Absolutely. They will re-cork the bottle each night and have it on the table for you the following nights. I've even had them send it to the specialty restaurant where we'll be dining the next night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chippy Posted September 21, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yes you can, what's more you can take it with you if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobinfl Posted September 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2012 No this is not true. The waiter will re-cork the bottle and hold it for your next visit. Also, if your next meal is at a specialty restaurant, you may ask the waiter there and he will bring the saved bottle to your table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted September 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2012 What you "heard" is incorrect. The waiters will happily keep your wine for the following night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfd_2 Posted September 21, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 21, 2012 We've had leftover bottles delivered to our room to enjoy later at night as well as saved for dinner the next night. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapleleafforever Posted September 21, 2012 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2012 We've had our bottles recorked for the next night but never tried taking it with us for that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandlassie Posted September 21, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2012 This is part of a reply from guest relations ref to the wine package, I asked if the wine package could be in my room " while you are unable to consume the wine package in your stateroom, you will be allowed to take any open bottle of wine from the dining room to your room for consumption and, should you have any unused bottles, they will be remitted to you on the last day of the cruise for you to take home with you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted September 21, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Over the course of several cruises, we got to be good friends with the wine steward, and not only did our partial bottle follow us between meals/restaurants, but it would occasionally magically re-fill itself:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted September 21, 2012 #12 Share Posted September 21, 2012 We drink 1/2 bottle at dinner and they hold it for the following night. We had one bottle moved from the MDR to Chops one night also. We didn't even ask, but when our waiter asked about holding it, we told him we had Chops reservations and he told us he'd make sure it went there for us. We didn't have the wine package, but they will do it either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny2865 Posted September 21, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thanks everyone for the speedy responses - we not big drinkers, so being able to re-cork the bottle is a good thing for us. Although by the time we get on the cruise this may have changed!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a 12 bottle wine package and the following was our applied in our case. 1. We were able to take the remainder of a bottle with glasses from the Dining Room to our stateroom. 2. We requested and were given a whole bottle and glasses from the restuarant staff and took it to our stateroom. 3. On two occasions we requested bottles ( from our package) from room service and they were delivered to our stateroom. I would add this was on a Norwegian Fjords cruise, perhaps the "rules" are different in other areas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mademypoint Posted September 22, 2012 #17 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I was able to ask for and receive one of my bottles of champagne, delivered to my stateroom unopened. I was also able to ask for them to uncork a bottle of red, bring me the cork and the bottle and I took that back to my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
