Bringing wine on ship

[LuvTheSea14]

Can I bring a bottle of wine onto explorer of the seas.

You are allowed 2 x 750ml bottles of wine per stateroom.

It is also best to carry the two bottles on board as oppose to packing it in your checked luggage.

Two per but make them nice bottles

And if you want to use them in dining rooms they will charge corkage

So cabin use only is wise

If you want to have the wine with dinner, just open the bottle in your room, pour a glass and take it to dinner with you. No corkage fee this way.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

That's what we do ; no corkage fee for us .

We brought two VERY nice bottles of wine with us. The first night they charged us corkage, but they fawned all over us, bringing special glasses and an elaborate uncorking. The second bottle, equally nice, they did the same thing but did not charge us corkage. The fee is $25 btw, which we expected and did not mind, for the service of serving it to us.

Just a word of advise but make sure you have something to open it. On our recent NOS cruise we won the meet and mingle bottle:) needless to say I didn't have a corkscrew so asked cabin steward and was told they had had all their corkscrews taken off them :eek: luckily I managed to find someone kind enough to lend me theirs:D

Remember this is allowed only at your initial port of embarkation. If you bring any on board from a port of call they will hold it until the last night when it is returned to you before you disembark.

This is excellent advice, in fact, when we recently boarded the Enchantment in Port Canaveral, the porter taking our luggage asked us if there were any bottles of wine in our luggage. We were able to answer him honestly "no" because we always take ours in our carry-ons.

We always take ours in our carryon and have a small corkscrew that stays in DH's toiletry bag so we don't leave home without it.
