1interpreter Posted February 1, 2018 #26 Share Posted February 1, 2018 So I am confused I thought we were allowed to bring two bottles of wine per cabin and if we drank them in the room we were fine. Someone in a group on Facebook said we get the corkage charged if our cabin steward sees a bottle in our room at all. Which is correct? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Forums So far we have gotten luck and have never been charged a corkage fee for any that we have brought to the MDR. Yeah, I probably just jinxed myself, but oh well.

Milwaukee Eight Posted February 1, 2018 #27 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Around the upper part of the neck of the bottle. I may have some pictures of wine the Casino sent us. I will look and see But don’t recall a sticker on the neck. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first saw the stickers on Oasis and Majesty. Did not see the stickers at all on Jewel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaflamingo Posted February 1, 2018 #29 Share Posted February 1, 2018 No corkage fee ever. We did have stickers on the wine that was given us by C & A and our TA on Oasis, but not on Freedom last week. We usually bring screw tops so we can open them, or we cork them in our cabin. But we had one corked in the MDR and one on Freedom and no corkage fees. Just don't complain if you do get charged, but I'd be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3o Posted February 1, 2018 #30 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I have a feeling that many are not getting charged in the mdr b/c of tips. I think waiters may be afraid that if they charge it may come out the tip. It may also be they are understaffed and it’s one more thing to do , already busy filling drink package drink orders , etc. I wonder if when they mentioned corkage said “never mind, I’ll just drink via diamond 3 drinks and save the bottle for cabin” if they’d reverse course and save themselves time by letting you pour own already opened bottle?

It’s about taking your own wine into a restaurant. Same as on land. We weren’t charged corkage 2 weeks ago in 3 speciality restaurants or the M.D. We were prepared to but it didn’t arise, so I’m not going to complain.

Rare ReneeFLL Posted February 2, 2018 #32 Share Posted February 2, 2018 They may have been thinking of one of the other cruise lines that charge corkage fees during the boarding process. That's nuts. Which line is that? So they allow you to bring on wine, but they charge you anyway with a corkage fee even if you drink it in your room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also allow you to bring as many bottles as you want high is why all bottles are subject to the corkage fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't remember which line, but I was reading some of the other forums and could swear that some line charges at check-in or security.

qkd0314 Posted February 4, 2018 #39 Share Posted February 4, 2018 We are bringing a bottle of wine on board for sure, and plan on drinking it in our room, and occasionally taking a glass to dinner. Just to confirm, is it ok to bring our own GLASS of wine into the MDR or specialties? That is our plan, we drink no more than one glass with dinner usually. Thanks!

Yes no problem to bring a glass of wine to dinner. We did exactly this last week, just picked up wine glasses at any bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
