Corkage Fee Changes?

[quote name='Janet524']Any chance of getting back to the original topic of this thread?? Is anyone aware of an official announcement by RC regarding the corkage fee? Just looking for information - not editorial comments on my wine, coffee, tea, beer, gin, bourbon, pillow, or toilet paper preferences.[/quote]
Nothing beyond the report in the blog. Website still has the $25 fee mentioned, but I would not put a lot of stock in the website. They just recently removed the FAQ that said all guests in a stateroom must purchase beverage packages.

[quote name='swedish1']Nope, can't bring a Bottle of Wine into a Restaurant in Wisconsin. The Restaurant will lose their Wine, Beer or Liquor License. Actually, kind of an odd law considering how much Alcohol/Wine/Beer is consumed in Wisconsin.[/QUOTE]

Ok, I concede that you are correct - it is not legal, even in a place without a liquor license. But it is not strictly enforced, especially for special occasions.

There's no official word from Royal Caribbean why the policy changed but it has apparently been confirmed via Royal Caribbean's official Facebook page. Although I can't seem to find it :confused: Edited October 13, 2014 by icsys

I asked @royalcaribbean this morning and just received a reply confirming that the corkage fee has been dropped.

Canada just celebrated 'their' Thanksgiving.

Yes ours is today! It is always the 2nd Mon. in Oct. Time we typically close our cottages ( which I did)! Had a wonderful turkey dinner last night.

I have been charged corkage fee of $25 nearly every time ( but once) because I buy wine off the ship and take it onboard, Anything from your travel agent is bought on board and that is exempt from fee. I hope the fee has been removed as we will take our favourite wine onboard from now on!

Do we think this applies to all restaurants, including specialty restaurants?

Applies everywhere on the ship.

For those who have brought on bottles, how closely do they check the bottles when you board. I'm a huge beer snob and was thinking of bringing a couple goose island sours onboard. They are 750 ml wine bottles and the labels could pass for wine labels but in small print they say Belgian style ale. Just wondering if you think they would sneak by.

Generally if they are in a wine bottle and look like wine I think you should be OK. With all the people bringing on bottles of wine I doubt whether they have the time to scrutinise every one.

That is really good news.

I wanted it in writing in case I got charged for my bottle:

"We no longer have a corkage fee when wine is consumed in any shipboard restaurant, bar or dining venue."
