CalTom Posted January 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Is there a corkage charge in the Princess Grill Dining Room should one bring a bottle of wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1250 Posted January 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yes. I believe it is $20.00. Perhaps someone who knows better will answer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted January 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yes, and I think Stella has it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted January 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It's not specific to PG, its ship wide in any public area and any restaurant or bar. Having stated that, there's been times when we've had it waived. We do still run up quite a scary bar/wine bill. Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentchris Posted January 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The FAQ was changed last autumn to say corkage is $25 but there have been a number of reports since then of $20 being charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalTom Posted January 22, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thank you everyone for the information. I expected there to be something charged, and good to at least know the approximate amount to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laktex Posted January 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Frequently take my own champagne into the Grills and rarely get a corkage charge if I have been a regular purchaser of wines at table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted January 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Indeed. We took a very special bottle champagne on board QM2 for my birthday last June and our lovely Sommelier, who we have had the pleasure of meeting on many occasions, refused to charge us as he said it was an honour to open such a bottle. We thanked him warmly, offered him a glass - which he refused - and added what would have been the corkage to his tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted January 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Cruiseluvva: We actually had a similar experience a number of years ago, but with French wine and not champagne. The wine steward was very curious about the various aspects of the unusual wine and he came back to us several ties with questions. He also was very pleased to open a different wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalTom Posted January 23, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thank you all again for the input. I'm certain we'll order wines too, but there is a special California one that we like to bring along for one dinner. Never having sailed on Cunard before we are looking forward to the experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
