faith1 Posted February 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2009 From what I have understood reading the info on this site, if I bring 4 bottles of wine with me I will be charged 15 dollars for each bottle, so 60.00. Is this correct? Also do you get to keep it in your room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mego0427 Posted February 20, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That is only if you bring them to the dining room. You can bring them on board and keep them in your stateroom for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2009 First, each cruise line has its own rules, you may want to ask on the line you are sailing with. For Princess, they do charge $15 per bottle corkage fee for any bottle you want opened in a dining room or bar. So it would be $60 for 4 bottles. I believe Princess lets each adult carry on 1 bottle of wine. However, I have not heard of them enforcing the rule. You can keep it in your room. If you drink it there, then there is no corkage fee.

Arwenmark Posted February 21, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Again it depends on the Cruise line. NCL it is $15 a bottle when you board wether you take it to your room or to the dining room. and if you have it in checked bags they find it during Xray and call you to the naughty room to claim it and pay the fee. Hard liquor will be confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineforhealth Posted February 21, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2009 On Princess you can bring wine on board and as posted only one bottle/person The best way is put it in a wine shipper and check it in with your luggage. done it many times. I also buy much more wine than I do bring on board. CHEERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundagger Posted February 21, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2009 HAL allows unlimited wine to be brought on board. The corkage fee for wine brought to the dining room is now $18/bottle (reportedly, some people have not been charged that by their wine steward).

Rare Hlitner Posted February 21, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Everyone should beware that RCI does not allow any alcoholic beverages (including wine) to be brought on-board. If you buy booze at a port, they will take your booze when you come back aboard and return it to your cabin on the last night. On most other lines we cruise (HA, Princess, etc) there is no problem bringing aboard wine for personal use in your cabin. However, you will pay corkage fees for bringing your wine to the dining rooms. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltarEgo Posted February 21, 2009 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Check the cruise lines website. They will spell out their liquor policies in unambiguous terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? Also do you get to keep it in your room? Totally depends on the cruise line..... RCI is particularly greedy and does not let you bring any wine at all. Most other lines (Carnival and subsidiaries, NCL, and I think Celebrity) allow a bottle wine per person but charge a corkage fee if you bring it to the dining room.

Is this correct? Also do you get to keep it in your room? Hi there. I just want to ask that you mention your cruise line when posting on the "Ask a Cruise Question" forum. I know that many members show their cruises in their signatures, countdowns, etc., but many of us set our User CP options to not show anything except the actual post. You will likely get more on-point responses that way. If you're talking about NCL: Yes, you may bring wine onboard. I haven't heard about a limit of four bottles, but that may be new. Yes, you will be charged a $15/bottle consumption fee, regardless of where you plan to consume your wine. If you take a bottle to the dining room or a restaurant, be sure that it has the sticker on it and bring your receipt too, just in case. Otherwise, the restaurant staff may try to charge you the fee a second time. Check the cruise lines website. They will spell out their liquor policies in unambiguous terms. Yes, they do have their policies online (and elsewhere), but they aren't always unambiguous and they are sometimes convoluted. There are also policy changes where the online info lags behind and is out of date. What does it hurt for a member to ask other members for current info? Of course faith1 should check with the cruise line too. beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
