Bringing wine on board

[stanw]

I booked a Celebrity cruise with a representative from Celebrity. She told me I could bring 2 bottles of wine on board with no charge. Anyone know if this is true or not? Thanks.........Stan

Yes.

Two 750ml bottles per cabin, to drink in the cabin.

There is a corkage fee to open and drink in the dining room.

Your can confirm this on Celebrity's website: two 750 ml bottles per stateroom, at embarkation only, not from ports, no charge when consumed in stateroom, $25 corkage per bottle if consumed elsewhere. Best to bring it in carry-on luggage, not checked luggage

Thanks for the quick reply.

Done it many times. If we don't get the drink package we enjoy a glass of wine in our cabin before going down to one of the lounges for a pre-diner drink. We usually let our cabin attendant know the first day of the Cruise we would like wine glasses everyday. Never had a problem getting that request. You can also get wine glasses from room service or one of the lounges. Again no problem. We also pack our own wine opener in our checked luggage. It's a cheap one and the foil cutter is small. It's been on many Cruises with us.

If you bring a corkscrew that has a knife-type foil cutter note that it is contraband.

I guess size does matter. The foil cutter (knife type) on my corkscrew is about an inch long. The corkscrew is in a baggie along with my mustache scissors which are about 3 inches long in our checked luggage and never had an issue no matter the Cruise line.

Scissors under 4 inches blades are allowed, where have you seen that knife type foil cutters are not?

True and that's why my corkscrew with the one inch knife foil cutter has never been taken by any Cruise line. Are not what?

[WestLakeGirl]

.... Blades are allowed, Where have you seen that knife type cutters are not allowed? Sorry if the sentence was unclear?

[neverbeenhere]

You call that a knife, this is a knife.

[neverbeenhere]

Lost in translation.

Post number 10 of this thread. But I knew from my experiences the post was inaccurate.

Yes, but where did that poster (#10) get the idea that wine foil cutters are. Outran and? That's what I was trying to find out, since I agree that they are not forbidden and if they are, I'd like to know where the regulations state that

[donaldsc]

Typing "celebrity cruise wine policy" into Google would have gotten you the answer immediately.

 

DON

I'm looking at the Celebrity wine policy on the website. Nothing there about wine opening tools

I believe that was the point donaldsc was making. Corkscrews even with the small knife like foil cutter is not on Celebrity's prohibed items list or as some one called it contraband so you are allowed to bring it on the ship. Hell the corkscrew itself is longer than the foil cutter. Like I said in one of my earlier posts I bring it on all of our Cruises even when we have the beverage package and don't bring wine aboard. It's always in our first aid kit. I do believe the OPs questions/concerns were answered and your concerns also.

I agree. Like my corkscrew too.

We board day 1 and depart day 2 from our embarkation port. Can we bring our wine on board the day we depart, rather than the day we board?

Guests wishing to bring personal wine/champagne onboard with them at the beginning of the cruise may do so, limited to two (2) bottles per stateroom, but when consumed in any shipboard restaurant, bar, or dining venue, each bottle shall be subject to a corkage fee of $25.00.
