Hello, I would like to know, how much the corking fee is for wine, if you bring your own wine to dinner at Main Dining Room

thank you,

John

Believe it is 10 but they dont alway charge for it.

 

we bring glasses of wine from our cabin on evenings we want wine and never a corkage charge.

thank you Stu

We pour two glasses of wine in the cabin. And since i dont drink alcohol, i discretely pass my glass to my partner as he runs low.

You dont have to do this discretely nobody really cares in the DR.

If you pour yourself a glass in your cabin and bring it in no problem. We did bring a bottle one nite and they charged us 10 bucks. So we won't be doing that again.

On the Dream in December, we were never charged a cork fee in the dining room. We were charged $14 for our champagne at the Steakhouse.

On the Splendor last week, we bought the deluxe, 5 bottle wine package, which we drank in the dining room. As well we also brought our own bottles that we brought from home (we were four wine lovers!) We were charged a corkage fee for each of our bottles despite the fact that we also were drinking purchased wine. We have never been charged in the past, the fee has always been waved. New, stricter policy?

 

BTW, I am not sure what the fee was, but $10 sounds right.

p.s It was worth every last delicious drop!:D

We were charged $10 on both of our previous cruises. On our second cruise, after being charged the first night we poured the wine in our room and brought it with us.

Should not have been charged corkage. Should have told whoever wanted you to pay it that you purchased the wine from Carnival.

Seems a hit or miss with the corkage fee. We did the Breeze TA last November...15 nights in MDR...9 people....dunno how many bottles of wine..had at least 2-3 each night...never were charge the corkage fee.

In my nine cruises, I've only had one waiter try to charge it. It was a junior waiter on my most recent cruise.

if you only consume half the bottle of your own wine and you'd like the rest served the next night, you will likely be charged, especially if it isn't a wine from their wine list. The waiter will need to explain where the odd bottle came from.

 

$10 is a great deal for a corkage charge. Most other lines are considerably more than that.

I was charged AND reminded, "Don't forget your wine!" before we left. At least on the last cruise they kept it for us for another night.

Suppose you open your own bottle, in your cabin, but just bring the bottle with you to the dinning room. (Cork just in place to prevent spilling). Will they charge you if you pour it into the dining room glasses?

Yup, that was the exact scenario that happened to us.

They could. The term corkage has little to do with removing the cork.

[sandygal]

Sorry, I was unclear. They only charged a corkage fee for the wine we brought onboard. I thought, however, that because we also purchased wine, they would waive the fee as they have done in the past, but they did not.

Why would there be a corkage fee for a couple of glasses you poured in your cabin?
