Rozza1980 Posted July 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2015 i have a very nice bottle of port and would like to enjoy it after dinner in the restaurant. I know you can pay corkage for normal wine. Does this rule apply for port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runaways Posted July 21, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2015 i have a very nice bottle of port and would like to enjoy it after dinner in the restaurant. I know you can pay corkage for normal wine. Does this rule apply for port? An interesting question - and good idea. We guess corkage would be paid when the bottle is opened but no further charge be made as the bottle is consumed by the glass over several days/a week - however long it takes. At least we hope that's how it would work. Keen to know the answer to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted July 21, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It seems as if nobody has tried it. Most Sommelier ' s seem quite accommodating so the best thing to do is ask. Please let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted July 21, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) PORT is typically not enjoyed in the dining room ... where corkage fees apply As an after dinner drink in a lounge, one typically would not bring the entire bottle, but I suppose you could. were it me, I'd ask for an appropriate glass (or two) , carry them to my room and enjoy my drink on the veranda. But I suppose you could also carry your bottle to the Commodore's Lounge and ask for glasses and see what happens .... Most Sommelier ' s seem quite accommodating amen to that ... our S' was perhaps our fav' server of the cruise.

Underwatr Posted July 22, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Each time...from the same bottle?You can drink a bottle of dinner wine over two or more evenings for a single corkage fee, so the fee only applies once per bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I presume the same applies if one were to take a bottle of dessert wine, or a fortified to accompany the cheese course, to the dining room. Opening of such a bottle should attract a single corkage charge and the dessert &/or fortified wine then be available to enjoy on subsequent evenings at no further cost - hopefully.
