Wine bottle size????

[Buckwild]

Im going to get a bottle of champagne to mix mimosas in our room.

Are they sticklers about the suggested wine bottle size? I believe it is 750ml but not 100% sure. Also does anyone have a recommended brand for these mimosas? :rolleyes:

The size is 750ml But we've taken 1500ml on twice and nothing was said by Carnival staff. I don't know much about champagne but like the Barefoot and Western champagnes. Hope this helps.

Yellow Tail has champagne now with resealable cork.

 

In Galveston

We got on extra bottles of wine/champagne last week with no questions asked. The guy sort of waved my husband over to the table where they check your bags---but they don't watch that you go there nor have any sort of procedure to get you there. He started over to the table and I said, "are you crazy man?! Get up that escalator...go, go, go!!"

We didn't want to risk it then end up with none,

We love the barefoot as well.

It is 750ml. You can bring 1 per person. Although I brought two bottles in my carry on...mine and my friends' and they didn't say anything.

I've always liked Chandon or Moët & Chandon for a mid priced everyday champagne. Wouldn't spend more if you're going to mix with oj.

Have fun!!

750ML is correct.

 

For mimosas you are supposed to use dry or brut champagne as the sweeter ones change the flavor of the orange juice...

 

I personally don't like dry...so for brut I like Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Reserve Particuliere NV...not too expensive but doesn't taste cheap either. Now, this is assuming they still make it...I don't drink champagne very often so when I bought a case of this YEARS ago, it has lasted me several years...

Galveston is my homeport and I've sailed from there 11 times in the past 6 years....In my opinion it is among the harshest ports to smuggle in. A lot of my friends do, but they are sophisticated rum runner types........

I think that is probably true if you are smuggling liquor in your suitcase...we didn't do this. But, having an adult with 2 bottles of wine rather than 1 in carry-on they just assume that the other bottle is for your spouse....and then the spouse (4 or 5 people ahead or behind also has 2). You get the picture. We just wanted wine for our balcony and at dinner. We spent our share in the Red Frog and for frozen treats by the pool!
