Wine question

[nicole2380]

I did a search but I am only seeing old policies posted from 2012 or older.
I know you can bring wine on board one bottle per person over 21 years of age.
My question is do you have to check the bottle with the main dinning room or can you keep the bottle in your room?

You keep it with you.

No you don't need to check it in dining room. If you consume it in the dining room or any public areas there is a $15 corkage fee but if you keep it in your room there is no charge.

Thank you everyone for your help. I was a little confused when reading old threads and the policy.

[SIZE=4][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Blue]Is it actually one bottle? I've read other threads where they say two.

I think it is only the dining room or other wait-staffed eateries (Steakhouse, Cucina).
They would not be able to charge, or to be more accurate, 'keep track' if one was to drink it in the Lido buffet or any other public space.

Here's their policy:
