Wine purchased in Port

will Princess allow you to bring a bottle of wine onboard which was purchased in port? If so, is there a limit and a corkage fee?

I believe that officially you have a choice of having them hold it until the end of the cruise or paying $15 corkage fee. Enforced sometimes, but not others.

As Paul has responded, that has been our experience. That is, there could be a corkage fee involved. We have typically been met with an "enjoy you wine, sir" when we bring a bottle in from a wine producing port. We do only bring in one bottle and always let the security folks know that we have one with us. If you do pay the corkage, you are free to consume it anywhere on the ship, not just your cabin.

We came back with several bottle from a wine tour in 2016. Took one with us at no corkage and left the rest for when we got home.

Embarking ship, never bring more than the two for our cabin.

We have always bought wine in various port stops especially in Europe. Never had a problem and wasn't stopped coming back through security on the ship.

On Mexico ports, usually buy wine in Puerto Vallarta and again never asked to pay corkage. They are looking for booze however and when security sees it, sends you over to a table where it is taken away and given back end of cruise.

Our wine purchases in ports are small, never more than two bottles at a time, usually just one.
