joshd33 Posted April 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Question- Can we take our carry on wine to the dining room during the afternoon of embarkation day so that it can be chilled prior to dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickrate Posted April 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ask you room steward to put ice in a bucket for you and chill it yourself. Unless you feel you will drink the whole bottle the first night, stop by a bar, pick up some wine glasses, and take a glass with you to the dining room. This way you won't incur a corkage fee in the dining room. don't forget your corkscrew!:) Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matfel Posted April 23, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2014 We just chilled ours in our mini fridge in the room, it fit in, then carried it to the dining room, we were never charged corkage fee for any of the 4 bottles that were opened at our table for the week, have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we have been charged, sometimes not. the luck of the draw!! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to pour myself a glass and take it to dinner with me. I leave that glass in the dining room and it is replaced in my room by our steward.

maudde Posted April 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This is our first experience with bringing wine onboard. If you open the wine in your room and take the remainder of the wine along with glasses to the dining room, is it up to the waiter if a corkage fee will be charged? Also, would you take a bottle to the steakhouse as well? Im assuming they would most likely charge a fee. We are sailing on Valor. Thank you.

Technically, if you bring the bottle they are to charge the fee. Better to just take a full wine glass (or two) to dinner with you, then there is no fee.

superjuice Posted April 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 23, 2014 As an option keep a couple of the Funship special cups you get first day. I found that two of them will hold one 750ml bottle of wine (375ml each) so we simply filled them up and brought them to dinner. Even better if you drink wine slower than your partner as I do ,this way my wife doesn't get most of the bottle:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
