Clarea Posted October 12, 2014 #51 Share Posted October 12, 2014 [quote name='Janet524']Any chance of getting back to the original topic of this thread?? Is anyone aware of an official announcement by RC regarding the corkage fee? Just looking for information - not editorial comments on my wine, coffee, tea, beer, gin, bourbon, pillow, or toilet paper preferences.[/quote] Nothing beyond the report in the blog. Website still has the $25 fee mentioned, but I would not put a lot of stock in the website. They just recently removed the FAQ that said all guests in a stateroom must purchase beverage packages.

DarcyAustin Posted October 12, 2014 #54 Share Posted October 12, 2014 [quote name='swedish1']Nope, can't bring a Bottle of Wine into a Restaurant in Wisconsin. The Restaurant will lose their Wine, Beer or Liquor License. Actually, kind of an odd law considering how much Alcohol/Wine/Beer is consumed in Wisconsin.[/QUOTE] Ok, I concede that you are correct - it is not legal, even in a place without a liquor license. But it is not strictly enforced, especially for special occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy08 Posted October 13, 2014 #61 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes ours is today! It is always the 2nd Mon. in Oct. Time we typically close our cottages ( which I did)! Had a wonderful turkey dinner last night. I have been charged corkage fee of $25 nearly every time ( but once) because I buy wine off the ship and take it onboard, Anything from your travel agent is bought on board and that is exempt from fee. I hope the fee has been removed as we will take our favourite wine onboard from now on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyjohns Posted October 14, 2014 #62 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Do we think this applies to all restaurants, including specialty restaurants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDog0331 Posted October 14, 2014 #64 Share Posted October 14, 2014 For those who have brought on bottles, how closely do they check the bottles when you board. I'm a huge beer snob and was thinking of bringing a couple goose island sours onboard. They are 750 ml wine bottles and the labels could pass for wine labels but in small print they say Belgian style ale. Just wondering if you think they would sneak by.

With all the people bringing on bottles of wine I doubt whether they have the time to scrutinise every one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adomatic Posted October 14, 2014 #68 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I wanted it in writing in case I got charged for my bottle: "We no longer have a corkage fee when wine is consumed in any shipboard restaurant, bar or dining venue." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
