wine brought on board

[buzz2400]

If you bring a bottle of wine on board, do you have to pay corkage fee if you are going to drink in room?

[falkcor]

no, only in the dining room / steakhouse, and sometimes even that is not enforced.

[hftmrock]

no. Here is the direct verbiage

 

Liquor and Beverage Policy

 

Bringing Alcohol On Board - Embarkation Day:

 

Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board. However, at the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring on board one bottle (750ml) of wine or champagne, per person, only in their carry-on luggage. A $10 corkage fee per bottle will be charged should you wish to consume this wine in the main dining room; $14 corkage fee per bottle in the steakhouse. Guests may bring a small quantity (package of 12 per person) of non-alcoholic beverages. All prohibited alcohol, excessive quantities of wine/champagne or non-alcoholic beverages will be removed and stored for safekeeping until the end of the voyage. The retained item(s) will be delivered to your stateroom on the last night of the cruise. Unsealed containers with prohibited liquids will be discarded, as well as any unclaimed items left after the voyage, and no compensation will be given in either case.

On nights we want wine with dinner we usually bring a large white wine glass with us to the DR.

 

Last cruise in Feb we brought a bottle with us and headwaiter asked us to put wine bottle on the floor because if MD saw it he would have had to charge us for corkage.

Pour it in a glass in your room and walk on in.

She was asking about a corkage fee. I have read many people bring on screw top wine to avoid this. :confused:

The corkage fee is not just for uncorking a bottle, but it is for the service, storage, and the show. It is certainly well worth it in my opinion. They can charge the fee even for a screw top bottle or even a box if you want to drink it in the main dining room.
