Can we bring a bottle of champagne?

[mafig]

We usually bring a bottle of champagne with us to drink on our balcony on sailaway (if the cruise line doesn't give us one).

 

Is this allowed on HAL. ???

Yes, but it is most likely you will have to pay the $20 corkage fee, whether you drink it on your balcony or in a public area.  New rules as of a year ago.

If you are bringing wine on board, can you put it in checked luggage or does it need to be in carry on?

It needs to be in carry-on. You can expect to be referred to a special desk at check-in where you will pay the corkage fee, and your bottle will be stamped. 
If you have your bottle in checked-luggage you will bypass the corkage system, and your luggage will be pulled as suspect. Might as well cut to the chase in the first place.

Carry-on. Then there will PROBABLY be a table to pay the corkage and get stickers on the bottles.
