Bringing Wine Onboard

[dantim]

I know you can bring 2 bottles of wine with you upon embarkation, but wanted to know if they charge you a corkage fee or not??? Plus, do you have to bring your own cork screw?

[nps001]

If you bring your own wine the restaurant for consumption, there is a corkage fee. Of course, there is not fee to consume the wine in the privacy of your cabin.

 

We asked our butler for a corkscrew, and it was happily provided as well as a set on wine glasses.

We bring our wine on board & enjoy it in the cabin or out on the balcony. We still order wine with dinner, I would rather do that then pay the 25.00 corkage fee.

We are in a 2C cabin - do we need to bring a corkscrew as we don't have a butler (my first cruise)?

[NancyJ]

Nope, no need to bring a cork screw along. They are in the cabin, if they are not, ask the attendant. Enjoy!

:D Thank you NancyJ - we will (or at least DH) enjoy (the wine that is!!!)

If you can bring your own wine and open it in your cabin, what is to stop you from wandering into the dining room with a glass? People are always wandering around with their drinks.

Nothing is stopping you, although this is where this thread gets sticky! :rolleyes:

Sorry if this is obvious to some..... bare with me!

 

Is it two bottles per person, or per stateroom? If per person - do infants count (that sounds SOOOOOO bad). Sorry. :p

 

Mark.

You can take more than two total.......just pack them carefully in your luggage.....put some in yours...some in your cabin mates.

To answer the question asked, it's two bottles per STATEROOM. You can attempt to bring more, but the "rule" is two per stateroom. Me? I bring more. ;)

Last two cruises there wasn't a cork screw in the suite. Butler would open it on request no problem. If you have an easy open cork screw and plan on opening a number of bottles, pack it in your checked baggage - doesn't take much room. I think its even allowed in carryon to tell the truth.

We are off on our first cruise together, and are very interested in further comments regarding taking alcohol on board - both before and during the cruise!

Any "Tips" would be very much appreciated. :D
