Corfe Mixture Posted September 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Can someone who has ACTUALLY PAID THE $15 corkage charge at check in please confirm whether or not the charge does not attract an additional service charge. Please don’t offer speculation, I am an experienced Princess client (who normally fly cruises and therefore doesn’t normally have the opportunity to take his own wine). I am aware that the figure of $15 is printed on in the pre-cruise boarding documentation without any mention of any additional gratuities and therefore don’t expect any charge, BUT the question has come up on our Roll Call and we would like to hear a DEFINITIVE answer from someone who has BEEN THERE AND ACTUALLY DONE IT.

Rare geoherb Posted September 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) If you pay the corkage upon boarding, there is no additional charge. They mark the bottles you wish to take to the dining room and don't mark the one bottle per adult that you wish to consume in your cabin. If you decide to take one of the unmarked bottles to the dining room, your waiter may charge you the corkage fee.

ggprincess2004 Posted September 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2019 No additional charge. Paid it within the last year, and had no further issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted September 2, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Please rest assured. OP, that there is no additional fee on top of the $15, such as bar service charge. I have taken wine on board many cruises and am well-acquainted with the process both in the terminal and on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted September 2, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2019 What other fee are you referring to? Where did you hear that? We have never had an additional fee on top of the $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted September 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The corkage fee usually shows up as a dining room charge, no added service fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8scotty Posted September 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2019 We just finished an Alaska cruise on the Golden last week and although didnt pay the corkage fee at check in, we did at the Crown Grill. Only the $15 applied, no additional fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corfe Mixture Posted September 2, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Many thanks everyone. That is exactly what I believed, but the question was raised on our Roll Call and having said I did not believe that gratuities are added to the $15, I thought it would be prudent to check with folks who had done it recently to make sure that I was not giving incorrect information. Kindest regards to you all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted September 2, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 2, 2019 We only paid the one corkage fee & some times our waiter did not charge us 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
