micruz Posted November 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Just booked a December cruise on Rotterdam leaving out of Fort Lauderdale. Reading my cruise documents, I discovered they’ve changed their policy regarding bringing wine onboard. Used to be able to bring two bottles on embarkation day to be consumed in cabin. Now says $20 corkage fee applies no matter where you drink it. Has anyone seen this enforced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman48 Posted November 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Yes. On all our recent cruises they screened luggage at embarkation for alcohol. Out of curiosity I asked one of the crew what happens if they find alcohol, here is his answer: - Wine; you can agree to pay the corkage, or they will hold it to you disembark. - Hard Alcohol is held till you disembark. On the plus side we found they waived the fee for wine purchased on excursions that stopped at wineries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highscar Posted November 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Not sure if I have told this. On an afternoon flight to ft lauderdale i ordered wine with lunch. Shortly after the flight attendant came and apologized for charging me and gave me an aluminum bottle of wine. At the pre boarding desk I admitted I had wine and it was tagged to be returned at the end of cruise. I was asked how large the bottle was and I said about 1/2 glass lol. Only in my cabin a short time and knock knock and apologized for taking it and it was returned. Best jugalug ever lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
