Ken at the beach Posted October 22, 2014 #76 Share Posted October 22, 2014 We´ll have two connecting cabins with our children, one adult in each. So in principal we can bring four bottles? You will be allowed 4 bottles in total. 2 per cabin. We do this every time we cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see the US site I think you would need to use a proxy server. Good to know that it's on the US site and if anyone on the ship says there is a corkage fee you can show them the answer on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapcruiser Posted October 25, 2014 #85 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Now, I find box wine in my area and it is a little over 750ml, so I'm afraid to carry it on. I seem to be striking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rclibertygirl5 Posted October 27, 2014 #88 Share Posted October 27, 2014 On Allure last week and specifically asked in CP 150 if we could bring a bottle of wine that we had brought from home and the response was that we could bring it but that it would be a $25 corkage fee.

southnam Posted October 27, 2014 #91 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just to clarifying, if you don't finish it will they recork it. My wife and I like a glass each but don't normally finished a bottle. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Printing out the website FAQ question & answer to put in my folder for our cruise in 3 weeks. Pretty frustrating when we know more about their official policies than they do onboard, especially when their lack of knowledge costs us money!

Does anyone know if you can bring bottle of wine from home into specialty restaurants or is it just main dining room?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetWet! Posted October 27, 2014 #94 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Does anyone know if you can bring bottle of wine from home into specialty restaurants or is it just main dining room?:confused: The new FAQ says Royal does not charge a corkage fee, period - makes no distinction between MDR and other venues. Its obvious, however, that this recent change hasn't been communicated fully to the staff onboard, so I'd suggest having the printed policy page from the website to show them.

Slonik Posted October 27, 2014 #95 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Screen saved the FAQ on my iPhone for next week when I bring my bottle of wine to the dining room. Now, I need to pick which 2 wines get to join me on my cruise :) Also, am I right to assume that I can split the bottle between 2 nights? GF and I will have a glass each for dinner.

Yes, you could always do that without any extra charge or corkage when RCI started, several years ago, to allowed passenger to bring wine onboard when embarking and still can.

Ken at the beach Posted October 28, 2014 #99 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Don't forget that you can also access the RCI website for free from the ships computers if you need to show the employees the change in policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
