Rare BirdTravels Posted March 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2018 We are on our first cruise to the med in June ... will we be able to get a bottle of wine to share on the balcony inc in our premium all inclusive package? You can grab a couple of glasses each at the nearest bar and carry it with you to your room. Planning ahead, you can grab some cheese and crackers or some fruit at the buffet and have them ready in your room, when you arrive with your wine. All DYI.

Son of a son of a ... Posted March 31, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Check your roll call ... there are usually folks who do not like the wine or don’t drink at all. If I were on this cruise, I would give you our bottle. And, no I would not consider a roll call request to be out of line ... they are your shipmates and, as the recipient of many unwanted bottle, there are a lot of folks who give them away. Note: I often end up leave unopened bottles for the steward to recirculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted April 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2018 You could also pick up a bottle of wine and pay the $15 USD corkage fee and enjoy anywhere on the ship including your balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted April 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2018 You can grab a couple of glasses each at the nearest bar and carry it with you to your room. Planning ahead, you can grab some cheese and crackers or some fruit at the buffet and have them ready in your room, when you arrive with your wine. All DYI. that is exactly what we do. We simply stop at a bar on our way back to our cabin at night and grab a couple of glasses of wine to end our day. We turn on the light, sit on the balcony and have a wonderful few minutes. or sometimes during the day one of us will go to a bar, bring a couple of glasses back and sit on the balcony reading.

nmsk5 Posted April 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 5, 2018 When you say "a couple glasses of wine" do you mean 2 or 2 each? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escentialssoycandles Posted April 5, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 5, 2018 You can carry on 2 bottles of wine, so that would be your best option that way it is something you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted April 5, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 5, 2018 You can carry on 2 bottles of wine, so that would be your best option that way it is something you enjoy. There is no limit to the amount of wine you can bring on NCL, however, you will be charged the $15 per 750-ml bottle corkage fee. You do not get any freebies on the corkage fee.

fastpitchdad Posted April 5, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2018 You can bring a carafe and then get a couple of glasses each and save it for later. We just eat the corkage fee for a few bottles so we can enjoy something good while sitting on our balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesimoni Posted April 7, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Isn’t the corkage fee only applied if you take it to the dinning room? How would they charge you if your having it in your stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted April 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Isn’t the corkage fee only applied if you take it to the dinning room?

No, the corkage fee is charged after you go through security (if carrying onboard yourself). If in checked baggage, you are called to the Naughty Room and you will be charged then.

Rare BirdTravels Posted April 8, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 8, 2018 When you say "a couple glasses of wine" do you mean 2 or 2 each? ;) I think that I said a "couple of glasses of wine each." That is 2 glass per adult at the bar at a time. If you have two adults, then that is 4 glasses of wine. If you have your large sport bottle, walk from one end of the ship to the other, grabbing wine as you stop at each bar, filling up your sport bottle. Keep the last two glasses to drink from in the room. Still swing by the buffet and grab some snacks for your wine party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would they charge you if your having it in your stateroom? You can bring as many bottles of wine onboard as you want. You pay a $15 corkage fee for each bottle you bring onboard, regardless of where the wine is consumed. You MUST hand carry your wine through security at your embarkation port and pay the corkage fee there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lv2bmovin Posted April 8, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 8, 2018 what about bringing on those small {one serving} bottles on board,, would we be able to bring those on with 75ml for each of us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted April 8, 2018 #20 Share Posted April 8, 2018 If you both have two glasses each, how do you open your door? :) Very carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbryan5 Posted April 8, 2018 #21 Share Posted April 8, 2018 You have to squirrel some away. Go to a bar, get 2 glasses each, go to the room and empty into water bottles. Go back down, hit another bar, 2 glasses each, unload in the room in more water bottles. Do this a few times and you'll have a nice little supply for your wine night in the cabin!

jdvmd Posted April 8, 2018 #22 Share Posted April 8, 2018 what about bringing on those small {one serving} bottles on board,, would we be able to bring those on with 75ml for each of us? Wine and Champagne are permitted, but you'll have to pay a corkage fee for any that is consumed onboard in staterooms, bars or restaurants. Fees are $15 for 750ml bottles and $30 for 1,500ml. There is no limit to the number of bottles passengers can bring onboard. Boxed wine is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted April 8, 2018 #23 Share Posted April 8, 2018 If you both have two glasses each, how do you open your door? :) You have to put them down, open the door and then try to pick them up whilst holding the door open with your backside. If you are lucky then the wife notices this going on and comes to help you. I'm quite an expert. We don't take loads of drinks back to the room in one go, but it isn't unusual for me to be sent out for provisions. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't the wife also have two handfuls of wine? You need to maximize the alcohol, don't you? :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s much easier for her to just send the lackey. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
