They will put a sticker on each bottle and you are free to drink it anywhere on the ship. No liquor allowed, although some choose to smuggle it. You can bring bottled water or soda without a problem.

jbirdie56 Posted July 29, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Has anyone ever brought a 1.5L bottle of wine onboard as opposed to the regular 750ml size? Do they double the corkage fee since it might be considered double the wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they double the corkage fee since it might be considered double the wine? They do add onto the corkage fee for larger bottles: Bottle is 750ml corkage = $15.00 USD Liter Bottle is 1,000ml corkage = $20.00 USD Magnum is 1,500ml corkage = $30.00 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chialden Posted July 30, 2009 #10 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was on the Jade early this year and at one of the dinners sat next to two drunks from the west coast. Anyway, they told me that they smuggled wine that they bought at the departure port (Barcelona) and put them in water bottles. At every port of call they bought more liquor and put them in their water bottles. My friend tried it when we went to Malta and he managed to get the bottle through the x-ray system.

abugs Posted July 30, 2009 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Has anyone ever brought a 1.5L bottle of wine onboard as opposed to the regular 750ml size? Do they double the corkage fee since it might be considered double the wine? We brought 2 1.5L bottles on our Mex. Riviera cruise back in April and we were charged a total of $30. It ended up being a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abugs Posted July 30, 2009 #13 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Jim - We told them we were bringing bottles on before we put our carry-ons through the X-ray machines and they pulled us over to a little table where they wrote out a bill and assessed the charge.

I am assuming this is wine, yes? If you bring a liquor bottle onboard, I assume they take it until the end of the cruise, yes? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bring as much as you want: liquor: no. And they do a very good job of policing the passengers. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never been charged double and I always bring a 1.5 liter, but others say they have. by the way, for those who have ways of smuggling, it would be better if you keep them to yourselves. NCL as well as other lines do read these boards. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
