LB_NJ Posted January 19 #3 Share Posted January 19 It doesn’t seem to say in the FAQ however I believe it has to be a 750ml bottle or smaller. It also doesn’t say however I think it is pretty obvious that it only applies to adults. Infants are not allowed to bring on wine.😄 Somewhere else on the website it says should be carried on, not checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Rats Posted January 20 #4 Share Posted January 20 Does anyone know the amount charged as a corkage fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbM81 Posted January 20 #5 Share Posted January 20 If you put one in your carryon and one in your checked bag, a couple can bring 4 bottles. That’s what we’ll do when we board in Rome with some nice Italian reds. I think the cork fee is $25 but I’ve never not had the premium package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathynorth Posted January 20 #7 Share Posted January 20 $25 but that's only if you bring the bottle with you to dinner. Your cabin steward can provide you with a bottle opener and appropriate glasses for you to enjoy in your room. You can fill your glass and bring that with you into the dining room, theater, where ever you wish. When we bring a smaller cabin wine glass into the dining room, the somellier usually swaps that glass out for one of the Reidel glasses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabin attendant cannot always get them so I pick up just before I go to cabin for the evening at a bar closest to elevator. Always keep a bottle opener in my suitcase.

So just to make sure I understand, If you bring bottle of wine on board and drink it in your room/balcony there is no fee, the fee is only charged if you bring bottle to dining room. Is this correct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they see bottles inside, they will be pulled aside and you will need to retrieve them from security. There is a good chance the bottles will be removed and you can collect them at debarkation. All beverages must be carried on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? Yes, this is correct. You can also take a glass of wine out of the room and bring it anywhere you want. You just can't carry the bottle around the ship with you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never carry wines in our carryons since we bring very light carryon. The bottles are always in our luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have put our wine in Our checked luggage many times and never had a problem. The only thing that seems to happen is it takes the luggage longer to arrive.

Rare cruisestitch Posted January 21 #17 Share Posted January 21 I believe that snowmc’s advice was overly cautious. There is no requirement that wine must be in carry on only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the hassle plus you bring luggage to the cabin yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinshin Posted January 22 #20 Share Posted January 22 Thank you. Will bring wine in our regular luggage. Carryon is always light with us. We don’t mind going to dinner in the same clothes since we are spending 3 nights in Amsterdam hotel pre-boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayleeman Posted January 23 #23 Share Posted January 23 The advice about the luggage came in reply to a comment about taking 4 bottles by splitting it up in carry on and in luggage. Trying to bring on extra can result in confiscation and (hopefully) return of the excess at disembarking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Rats Posted January 24 #24 Share Posted January 24 Thanks for the information on the corkage fee! We will be relaxing with a glass of wine in our room or on our balcony, so I am glad to learn that there is no extra fee for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
