Jerlyn Posted November 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Does anyone know what they charge for a 5 liter box wine? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcml Posted November 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Not sure I understand the question. You are limited to 750ml per person which wouldn't be a box. It sounds like you are asking what the corkage fee would be if you brought it onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love my grandkids Posted November 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If they see it they will take it from you. Better to smuggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hftmrock Posted November 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2014 better to only take the recommended 750ml instead of anything else. if you smuggle or just take it, there is a good chance it will be taken away from you and held until you leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerlyn Posted November 13, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I guess I thought if they want to charge me a corkage fee that would be fine. I just did not want to drag bottles along with me and the box wine is ok for deck drinking. Thank you for your help.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted November 13, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 13, 2014 But assuming you somehow manage to get that large box on board, or if you wind up only bringing smaller boxes, and you have the wine in your cabin there's no corkage fee. The cabins have wine glasses and if you need more, your cabin steward will provide. You can carry your glass of cabin poured wine to the MDR with you. Corkage is only if you ask them to store it for you and them pour at your table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManOfBethesda Posted November 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You can carry your glass of cabin poured wine to the MDR with you. Sure you can... ...if you have no ethics or self respect. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecn81126 Posted November 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Sure you can... ...if you have no ethics or self respect. :rolleyes: How is this any different from bringing in a glass of wine or any other drink from one of the bars? If you are drinking the wine that you legally brought on board, who cares? I doubt the MDR staff will care where it came from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in TX Posted November 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) How is this any different from bringing in a glass of wine or any other drink from one of the bars? If you are drinking the wine that you legally brought on board, who cares? I doubt the MDR staff will care where it came from! Or any different from bringing a bottle of wine from your room that you have already uncorked?! My DH always drinks a glass of wine while I am getting ready and then brings the bottle with him to the dining room. I had no idea we were being unethical or disrespectful! I thought that was the reason we brought the wine on with us in the first place. Edited November 13, 2014 by Jenny in TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansmith18 Posted November 13, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Sure you can... ...if you have no ethics or self respect. :rolleyes: Genuinely curious here... what does ethics have to do with this? I'm not a big wine drinker so maybe I'm overlooking some inside-baseball knowledge. Is it really bad form to bring a glass of wine with you to dinner?

SouthernIllnoiscruisers Posted November 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I believe people are saying it is unethical on the Box of wine since it is not the allowed size and would have to be smuggled on. Not taking wine that was brought on in the correct size to the dining room in a glass with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the reason we brought the wine on with us in the first place. A corkage fee has nothing to do with opening the bottle. It is a charge for allowing you to bring your own. I don't take my open bottle to the dining room, but I have been known to take a glass. Normally, I drink my carry-on wine in the cabin and purchase a wine package. That way I have a bottle of red and one of white already waiting after the first night. But, next cruise, I'm on a Premier Casino cruise. I will have no qualms about getting a glass of wine while in the casino (I get the Drinks on Us card on this one) and taking it to the MDR when I'm ready. There are lot of other things happening on Carnival cruises that are pushing the boundaries of "ethical" and "self-respecting" than carrying in a glass of wine. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bottle is not finished they will also store it and serve during another dinner. There is no fee for bring the wine on board as long as you don't bring it un opened to the MDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerlyn Posted November 13, 2014 Author #16 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Wow, I am really confused now, I thought you get two free bottles when boarding but had to pay a $15.00 fee for every bottle over two. Even if you only have it in your room. I hope I did not start a war here, and again thank you.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you only have it in your room. I hope I did not start a war here, and again thank you.:( One bottle per adult, no more. (sure, some try to pack it, or bring more in their carry on stuff. Some get by, most don't, but this isn't a question about "smuggling") If you consume it in your room there is no fee at all. People have no idea if you got it from your room or from the bar as you walk down the Promenade, and quite honestly nobody really cares either. If you bring the bottle to the MDR there are mixed answers about the fee. Hard and fast rule is that they are supposed to charge you. Some say that they get charged the fee, others report that they don't. It depends on the ship and the wait staff. Some have even reported that bringing an open bottle to the table has resulted in a fee. Just like many other things w/Carnival - it will vary from ship to ship, crew to crew.

jaxfl Posted November 13, 2014 #19 Share Posted November 13, 2014 "it will vary from ship to ship, crew to crew". However the rule that is 99% followed is you must bring your 1 bottle per legal aged person on board in your carry on luggage and if you try to bring more or put it in your hold bags it is smuggleing and if found will be taken away form you and you will have to go to the naughty room to get your bag.

Anything not a 750ml bottle will be confiscated.You can pour in your room and carry it wherever you want. You may or may not get charged a fee for them to open it in the MDR for you.

KPfromCT Posted November 13, 2014 #23 Share Posted November 13, 2014 We have smuggled a 5L box for the last 3 years in our checked baggage. Never got caught. Just put clothes in, and at the halfway point but the box in, and more clothes on top.:D:D:D:D Good Luck!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerlyn Posted November 13, 2014 Author #24 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Ok last question, I am traveling with someone and bringing 6 750ml bottles, so two are free and then I will pay $60.00 to get the other 4 bottles on the ship. Is that correct? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
