The funniest is the people who are miffed when the corkage
is five-times the cost of their three-dollar wine at walmart.
I somehow doubt these people are a demographic that princess
hopes to attract.
Oh! They would rather hope to attract the elitist, patronizing and condescending demographic?

Corkage fees at land-based restaurants typically start at $20 and go up from there. Certainly at nicer restaurants. Since the cruise fleet is heading to FL, let's look there:
Arturo's in Boca Raton: $30
Cafe L'Europe in Palm Beach: $50
Capital Grill in Ft. Lauderdale: $20
Casa D'Angelo in Ft. Lauderdale: $35
Fifth Avenue Grill in Delray Beach: $30
So $15 is definitely below industry average. The term fits.
nom·i·nal
ˈnäminəl
adjective
(of a price or amount of money) very small; far below the real value or cost.
The term does not fit, if you read my post. I pay the corkage fee when I buy wine in the Princess dining rooms or when I bring a bottle to the dining room. I do not mind that.
As I stated, I do resent the same principle being applied to wine that I bring on board to only drink in my cabin. Then it is not a "nominal" fee.

1 free per voyage per passenger of drinking age. After that, you can still bring more. You just have to pay the nominal fee.
I think not! The Legal definition of Nominal: Trifling, token, or slight; not real or substantial. Fifteen dollars to drink a bottle of wine that I have paid for, in my cabin is not a "Nominal fee". If it was nominal people would not be wasting their time trying to avoid it.

Take your own advice and read all of post #360 which did NOT refer to the Policy of Princess. It referred to comments made in a previous post.
