Wondering how much the wine corkage fee is, and how to you arrange to have your own wine served at dinner? We wish to bring our own and have it served to us. Do you haul your wine to the dinning rooms each meal?

Corkage fee is $10 if they charge it. You bring to dinner the first time and they will hold it for you after that.

Aren't you only allowed to drink bottles of wine purchased on the ship? The bottles of wine I have seen offered for purchase at dinner were the same bottles of wine offered for sale (pushed at high prices) at the wine tastings.

You can bring your own bottles on board.

As stated, there is a corkage fee. You can mark your bottle with your name, cabin#, table#, etc and the cabin steward will have it sent down and it will be brought to the table.

I have seen instances where the corkage fee is not charged if the wine is available for sale on the ship, they do not know if it was sent to your cabin as a gift or not. Bottles sent as a gift via the ships services are not charged a corkage fee.

I've seen people bring their own onboard from ports which cost them $6 a bottle and no one has ever charged them corkage.........guess it depends on the waiter and who is watching...and if they think they will get a better tip at the end of the week if they overlook it.

I've also seen people bring an already poured glass of wine from their cabin with them to dinner!
