Wine and soft drinks at embarkation

[carguy]

How much wine and soft drinks does Princess allow you to take on at embarkation ?

Without having to pay a corkage fee, 1 bottle per person. Otherwise as much wine, as you can carry.

Soft drinks.... we carry 3 or 4 1 liter plastic bottles each & it's worked out fine.

Agree with MissP22. For you, with a long commute to a departure port, it comes down to a balancing act. How much of your luggage do you want to devote alcohol and sodas/mixers vs. just buying a package onboard? Sodas and mixers must be in cans or plastic, no glass. Bottle size on the wine is supposed to be 750ml, though I did see a guy with a 5L boxed wine. Don't know how that worked out.

We usually take 12 bottles for a 15 day cruise.   2 are no fee and the rest $15 per bottle corkage.  On board the bottles that cost $30 are really only a $5 bottle on land, so we take a $20 bottle and even with the corkage fee it's only $35 - a much better value.  We just pick the bottles up in the town we are departing from and sit them on top of our case in a wine carrier while we wait to embark - very easy.

I think corkage has now increased to $20 per bottle.

According to their published policy:

Wine. 1 x 750ml bottle per adult without corkage fee for use in the cabin. Additional bottles are subject to a $20/bottle corkage, are marked and can be used anywhere on the ship.

Soft Drinks. 12 cans per person.
