luv2cruise4 Posted April 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I read on here that we are now allowed to bring wine on board and pay a $15 corkage fee. What is the best way to do this? I thought of putting a couple of bottles in my carry on. Do we then present them when we check-in our luggage or wait to be asked?? Does anyone have any more information on this?

Put it in your carry-on and wait to be asked. When they scan your baggage, if they see it, you will be asked at that time. If not, and you decide to consume it in your cabin, consider yourself fortunate (assuming you have a means of uncorking it). If you do bring it to a restaurant, you most likely will be asked to pay the corkage fee if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahorse Posted April 12, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2005 And if your next question is "How will they know if I paid the fee?" They will check your account via computer. Aren`t computers great:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benmon Posted April 12, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2005 We always bring liquor on board, wine, scotch, kegs of beer...ok, maybe not kegs of beer. The secret is moderation and not be obvious. They have never confisicated anything that we brought on board or charged us $15 for corkage. Just hand your waiter $5 with your bottle and I am sure you will have no problem. Also treating your cabin steward generously at the beginning of the trip goes along way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmjsr Posted April 13, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Very true with your cabin steward. I was on the Triumph & had a few bottles of liquor I was chilling in my ice bucket and the next thing I knew was I had a second ice bucket for us to use. If you are nice to them they will go out of their way to help & please you. We always tip well on these "key" people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
