I don't understand why some people are so pleased about this. How does someone bringing their choice of wine onboard affect those who choose to not bring wine?

 

.... and we too would happily pay the corkage fee (which has now been increased) to bring aboard a few bottles more than the "limit".

 

Not often I write any company when I'm displeased, but I will be writing about this change.

I booked by Feb 2014 cruise last Nov. One of the reasons I leaned towards HAL was the wine policy. I usually buy 1 or 2 of their bottles, but like to bring my own (which I know is GOOD and at a fair price. Just looked at their wine list...White Zin (which my niece drinks) is going for $42 (Beringer that you can get for around $5 in any store). What a rip off. I too would be more than willing to pay corkage for any extra bottles I wished to bring on board....altho I think $20 is also a rip off. Just got my Mariner magazine....it's going strait into the trash.

Thanks so much, really enjoyed your review. Can't wait until Sept. the cruise is my high school's 50th class reunion (beats going to a country club!)

Going on the Splendor in Sept. Would really appreciate some info: Which nights are the formal nights?? On our Southern Carib cruise in March (8 days) there was a special laundry promotion on port days ($15/bag, excluding long pants & dresss), is this true for the Mexican Riviera cruise too??
