NCL Alcohol policy

[jacobichka]

Hello to All.

I know that according NCL alcohol policy, allowed to bring wine or champagne on board. Is that policy will work with two night weekend cruise?

[sdmike]

you can bring wine on board any NCL cruise if you pay the $15 corkage fee per bottle (for 750ml)

Thanks for quick response. I understand that I will pay corking fees at the bar or restaurant, but what if I have glass of my wine in the cabin?

You pay corkage fee before you board.

Corkage fee applies regardless of where you drink the wine.

Thanks for all your replies.

When you go through security at the port you will be directed to a table where you will pay corkage on each bottle before boarding. You can then drink that bottle anywhere you want on the ship, including your cabin or a restaurant. If you try to hide a bottle in your checked bags, your bag will not be delivered to your room and you will be called to a room where you will open your bag in front of an official, then pay whatever corkage owed.

 

If you have any unopened bottles at the end of the cruise, you can go to the service desk and have your corkage fee refunded.

They put a sticker on the bottle when you pay the corkage. A waiter will remove the sticker in a restaurant. If you drink the wine in your room, give the sticker to a waiter. They get a cut.

I don't know if it's a published policy by NCL but numerous CCers have reported being able to receive refunds after presenting unopened bottles at the end of their cruises.
