Wine Corkage Fee

[Savvy traveler 713]

I just read RCL now is charging $15 per bottle wine corkage fee for wine that is brought on board on embarkment day. How does that work? They will charge if you bring to the dining room or any public area but you can enjoy it in your own room without such a charge?

Just checked RCCL official site and they have not as yet changed to NO CORKAGE fee for the 2 bottles of wine you are allowed to bring on board free per stateroom.

Yes, that is what is currently being reported.

I saw it on a RCL blog and it is under RCL's FAQ's

Searched the RCCL site and it reads no fee, what gives 2 different facs from the same site[emoji12][emoji12] I guess that's another it problem.

They finally just let us bring wine on; are they really going to corkage fee us now? That's pretty sad if they do that.

I found it. But I also searched same statement under entire site and got the no corkage fee answer. So they are listing opposite statements. Again IT has not checked their site for conflicts.

Royal has been allowing wine to be brought on board since Nov. 2012.

Saw that post here on corkage charges at public places.

The fee is only public places so no, it doesn't apply to wine consumed in your cabin

just got off Harmony yesterday. Not only did we not get charged a corkage fee at the restaurants, we weren't even checked how many bottles we brought onboard. Quite a difference from other lines that are very strict about that. Not that I'm complaining :)

In many cases when policies change it changes on the cruise following the effective date. I would expect that the corkage fee is effective starting with yesterday's sailing on Harmony.

Hi all, I'm on Jewel atm and last night took our first bottle of wine into the restaurant. We asked the waiter to open it , as normal, and were informed that there was a $15 corkage fee but that we were welcome to drink it in our cabin

I know that the IT department at Royal comes in for a lot of criticism, usually justified, but I don't see this as an IT issue ! Their job to ensure that the website is available and provide the tools to update it, but I'd have thought it was Marketing or similar who are responsible for the content...

 

And yeah, I do work in IT (but not for RCCI) ;-)

Actually, when they "finally" let us bring wine over five years ago there was a corkage fee ($25 I think). This was removed more recently and brought back at a lower rate.

Check out the wine list they sell onboard and bring those :) That will equalize the mini bar charge.
