closecruiser Posted August 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I thought I read something that it changed from 2 per cabin to 2 per person. Is this correct or wrong. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathynorth Posted August 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Correct. My DH and I carried 4 bottles of wine onto the Summit last month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively, they always 'check' since everything carried when boarding anywhere (embarkation or ports) through goes through x-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted August 14, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2022 In addition, if you have a beverage package, then there is no longer a corkage fee if you take a bottle to the MDR or a restaurant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this listed or posted anywhere? Would love to take a bottle of my Don Melchor to our anniversary dinner but I’m a scrounge and don’t pay ‘extras’ 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Mark_T Almost Zenith and never realized I could bring my own wine to take to dinner without a corkage fee. I knew I could bring 2 bottles but this is great news.

johnnyb18337 Posted August 27, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Question, is sparkling wine acceptable to bring on board on embarkation day? We’re planning on 2 bottles of wine and 2 bottles of sparkling wine. Cape Liberty embarkation. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whinenowine Posted August 27, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I'm sure it's all situational, but if you're BYO'ing I'd recommend carrying on vs packing in luggage. On our last trip I made the mistake of packing the bottles and that piece of luggage (out of 6 total) was 'lost' for 12hrs. Poor communication between security and our butler/us. It wasn't until we figured out that the wine was in the 'lost' bag and asked the butler to check again armed with that info that they finally found it. I know others have said they packed wine and their bags made it through security without any issues, so you never can tell...but better safe than sorry. Anyway, all's well that ends well, and the wine was fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted August 27, 2022 #15 Share Posted August 27, 2022 @Whinenowine Same thing happened to us on one cruise. MIA bag stuck in security. Why security isn't obligated to notify immediately instead of having crew chasing around all over the ship looking for them is a mystery. A simple phone message would suffice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More work/worry for everyone due to lack of communication. Was extra frustrating b/c we were in the PH and should have had priority luggage delivery. Lesson learned on my end! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that's not specified in their policies, but we've all grown smarter over the years. https://www.celebritycruises.com/faqs/before-you-board Right. Can't be in carry-on for the flight to the port. Must then be dug out of checked baggage at the terminal (and if you do it right, you WILL be doing some digging due to safe packing of the wine), and transferred to a carry-on that has enough space. It's a PITA, but necessary to avoid the MIA bag issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitz18 Posted August 27, 2022 #20 Share Posted August 27, 2022 This is a great thread - I thought it was still 2 bottles per cabin so very good to know & thankful to have been informed that it's 2 per guest. 😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical PJ Posted August 27, 2022 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2022 What is the going corkage fee? If you don't have bvg pkg and you bring on 2 bottles each. Can you uncork it in cabin and bring your bottle to the diningroom? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyb18337 Posted August 27, 2022 #24 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Thank you everyone for your advice, first cruise since 2019 and truly appreciate your advice. The sparkling wines are from Italy and will be to celebrate first cruise in many years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridastorm Posted August 28, 2022 #25 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) If Celebrity allows one to bring aboard 2 bottles of wine per passenger are you charged a corkage fee if you consume only in your cabin? Is there a maximum size bottle that you are limited to? Has anyone ever figured if having one or two glasses of decent wine at dinner every night equals up to the corkage fee or not. Just asking. I rarely drink cocktails or wine at home. Just for occasions. Edited August 28, 2022 by Floridastorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
