blutfort Posted March 14, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2020 If I want to bring wine on board and pay the corkage fee where do the bottles "live"? Do I get to keep them in my cabin so they are accessible whenever I want? Do they get put in central storage and I have to find a bartender and then they disappear for 30 minutes and bring me some? Can I bring a corkscrew or will some over zealous security guy consider it a weapon. Is the fee still $15 per person? Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted March 14, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) You most certainly can keep them in your cabin. If you take them to dinner with you and you have leftovers you can ask them to keep it for you and they will retrieve it next time you dine. No problems with bringing a corkscrew. If you forget one ask your steward and he will provide. Yes, 15 bucks for a regular size bottle, 30 for magnums. https://www.ncl.com/faq#!#can-i-bring-alcohol-board Edited March 14, 2020 by ColeThornton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YVRBassElectric Posted March 14, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2020 have it with you when you board - Security will send you to the "alcohol table" where they will record the corkage fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These have been the fees for more than seven years, or longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for keeping the post honest for others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the bottles in your bag at security; if they don't send you over to the table to get charged, just walk on with them. My last two trips out of manhattan they just didn't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion, we kept ours in one of the large wine refrigerators so it would be at cellar temperature. We had access to it whenever we wanted and they would even fetch a bottle for us at dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it so much more convenient to bring all my bottles to the MDR on my first day. They stored my bottles in the central wine cellar, and gave me tags for them. From that point on, no matter where I was on the ship, they'd bring my wine (at a proper serving temp) to me - bar, restaurant, wherever) and I could enjoy it. Defiintely much better value for my 15 bucks, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
