Corkscrews ok?

[bury me at sea]

I have checked Carnival FAQ and can't find specific mention of corkscrews being allowed or prohibited. If prohibited will the steward open the wine we bring to our cabin? Thanks.

You can bring a corkscrew. I always do and just ask for wine glasses at a bar.

Not sure why you'd think they'd be banned?

We get wine glasses from a bar or from the MDR and we bring our own corkscrew.

Thanks to all of you. We have never taken our own wine before and I wanted to be sure a corkscrew wasn't considered to be a weapon.

I understand why you think they might be banned - nowadays who knows, right? Anyway, I bring mine in my checked luggage - never had a problem.

If you're going on a plane, you can carry on a corkscrew without a blade. So just make sure that the kind you have is allowed in your carryon for TSA.

We definitely didn't know that and put it in our carry on going home. Both of our carry ons were searched thoroughly at the airport and the corkscrew was confiscated. Our bag of sand made it home though. We were starting to wonder!

I always keep one in my luggage and have never had a problem. If you have a bottle sent to your room, I'm pretty sure they give you one.

We are driving so TSA isn't an issue. One of mine has a very short blade to cut the foil. I think I will take the one without the blade. I appreciate all this information. First time I have asked a question and the replies are gratifying. Eight more days!

You can take the one with the blade since you are driving to the Port.

If you bring your own corkscrew do you still have to pay a corkage fee?

The corkscrew is for wine we bring on board and drink in our cabin. The corkage fee is if you take your own bottle of wine to a restaurant or the dining room to drink with dinner. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct this. Happy cruising.
