Wine ?

i know we are allowed to bring on 1 Bottle each and after that there is a $18 corkage fee. My question is if we bring on 6 bottles to be used is the MDR will I only pay corkage on 4?

You may bring two bottles (one per person) without paying corkage if those two bottles are only consumed in your cabin. All bottles taken to the MDR will be charged corkage regardless of how many you bring on board.

 

When you go through the scanners, you will be directed to a "wine table" if you have more than two bottles. You will be given a sticker for each bottle you pay corkage on. Any bottle taken from your room without a sticker will incur a corkage fee.

The corkage free bottles are for consumption in your stateroom only.

When you board, a wine attendant will affix stickers to those bottles on which corkage fee is being paid so that the dining room wine stewards can recognize them.

Your two corkage free bottles will not have that sticker. When you bring those to the MDR, or anywhere else on the ship, the wine steward will charge the applicable $18 corkage fee to your onboard account.

Basically, when you bring wine to the MDR, corkage will be charged one way or another.

Just got off the Oosterdam in mid September. Once we looked at the prices of the wine purchased on board (North Star for ?$100 vs $29.00 at Costco), we decided to bring our own. What a mess that was. When doing embarkation, the man kept telling us, "no, just take your wine", we thought we needed get the little blue dot put on it and it'd go to the wine cellar or whatever until we requested a bottle, instead it sat in our room and we'd have to take it down to the dining room. At the end of the cruise, we asked our concierge to credit us the corkage amount of each bottle we didn't drink in the dining room, which they did. We'd do it exactly as we did for this cruise, bring our own.

I know it wasn't asked but just thought I would mention that you can wine on board at ports of call but IIRC, they will be charged the $18 per bottle no matter where it is consumed
