corkage fee

Does Celebrity charge a corkage fee in the dining room?

If you have the Classic or Premium Alcohol  package then no corkage fee.

 

if you don’t have one of those packages, then there is a $25 corkage fee.

What are you asking?   Wine you bring on board or wine purchased on board?

Have sometimes been charged a corkage fee for a special bottle brought on board and often not.

I meant wine brought on board.  Looks like if you dont have beverage package you are charged 25.00

I thought it was no charge like RCCL but I guess not

If you purchase a bottle onboard there is a 20% gratuity added to the bottle  cost but no corkage fee.  If you bring it on board then no charge for corkage if you have the Classic or Premium alcohol package.

Royal Caribbean does charge a corkage fee.  Although it is possible that not every waiter will.

I’ve never been charged a corkage fee on any RCCL ship I’ve been on

You may have been lucky.  This is directly from their website:

"Yes. Guests who consume their personal wine and champagne in public areas, will incur a $15 corkage fee per bottle. Guests wishing to bring personal wine and champagne onboard may do so only on boarding day, limited to two (2) 750 ml bottles per stateroom. No beer or hard liquor may be brought onboard for consumption."
