Corkscrew on board

[Caribbeanqueen03]

Was wondering if can take a wine bottle opener on Pride in my checked luggage? Have you all had any issue? Don't want to pay someone to open!

Always travel with a wine key in my checked luggage. Never a problem.

I put the corkscrew in my carry on with the wine. Haven't had a problem.

Ever heard of screw-top wines?

Always have a corkscrew in my bag. No problems so far. My husband has a small plastic hotel freebie one in his dop kit. Just in case LOL.

We always carry one in our checked luggage...never had a problem

Your cabin steward can get you one onboard.

[Fla Mike]

We have never had a problem, Carnival, or any other line.

I always carry 1 in my checked luggage if flying to Port. If driving, I take in carry on luggage. Never had any issues with Security.

Sorry, but I am picky.

I beg to differ. I forgot to pack mine and tried to get one from our steward.. she basically said we were S.O.L. unless we took it to the bars or dining room.

Then I discoverd that they were screw top and it wasn't even an issue after all.. :rolleyes:

I pack my corkscrew and bottle opener combo in my checked luggage, and haven't had an issue with it making it onboard.

Our corkscrew travels in our toiletries bag of our check luggage--never had a problem and I sail the Pride often.

I have asked for and received one from my steward multiple times.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm saying don't count on it because there are stewards out there that will not provide one when asked. :)

Yep. I've always been able to get a corkscrew from the room steward in the past when I've forgotten to pack one, but 2 weeks ago on the Miracle I couldn't. My steward told me we had to call room service and have them bring us one. Luckily, room service delivered it much faster than they do the food. :D Oh, and we weren't allowed to keep it - had to open our wine while she waited and then give it back. And yes, it was one of the cheap, portable ones they used to give you for free. And yes, we tipped her. :)

Do you need to consume your wine either in your room or a restaurant? Or can you bring it to a bar as well?

[vamartha]

I carry a Carnival one in my toiletries that they gave me a few cruises back!

In my experience, you can bring it anywhere. We took mine to the lobby bar one night to sit and listen to our favorite guitar guy for a while. And I also classed up the casino when I took my bottle of champagne there one day. :D No one cared at all.

Excellent idea! I think I'm going to go throw one in my makeup bag right now. :)

Sorry, but I am picky.

You can tell how little someone knows about wine by how they respond to the concept of a screw top.

 

We have a small corkscrew in our toiletry bag that we take on all vacations. Or we bring screw tops. ;)

My parents take theirs to dinner. Then when the bar staff come to ask if they want something with dinner, my parents show them the glasses and say they just came from a bar.

Sorry to hear that but we never bring one along and every cruise our steward has provided one.

I prefer a "box" of wine, no corkscrew needed. Carnival let me bring a 3 liter box on ship for two adults. It just fit in the small fridge by taking the bag (liner) out of the box.

 

Happy Sailing!
