Sun&Sand52 Posted October 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Maybe a silly question - not sure - but can I bring a corkscrew onboard? I know a screw top bottle of wine would be better, but sometimes the one I want to bring is a bottle with a cork! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8NCruise Posted October 18, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yes, we always bring our own corkscrew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun&Sand52 Posted October 18, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Thanks! I wasn’t sure if they considered it a “weapon” or not! Great idea for that bottle stopper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted October 18, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2019 There is supposed to be a corkscrew in the desk along with wine glasses. If not, your room steward will get you one. We take 2 corks, red and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To avoid that problem, I suggest you pack the corkscrew(s) in your checked baggage ... as opposed to your carry-on baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seachef318 Posted October 18, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 18, 2019 And if you are flying for sure put it in your checked luggage for the flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJSULIBRARIAN Posted October 18, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Definitely bring your own in your checked luggage. I find the corkscrew provided by HAL to be totally worthless. Much prefer one that I am familiar with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 18, 2019 #10 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I always pack a cork screw in our regular luggage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted October 18, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yes, put it in the checked luggage. After the restrictions came in post 9/11, I bought a small clear zippered bag, like a cosmetic bag. All the little things that could no longer be in carry-on, like a metal nail file, corkscrew, scissors, etc went into that bag, which we named the "no-no bag." I keep it with the travel stuff and just toss it into the suitcase that will be checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted October 18, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I have been able to fly with a corkscrew in carry-on -- as long as it does not have a foil cutter "blade" on it. Mine is imprinted "TSA" right on it. The scanner-person will want to look at it though, so place it in a tray to minimize rooting through your bag.

Sunshineliving Posted October 18, 2019 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2019 My last cruise on Nieuw Statendam had one the cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is usually a cork screw in the cabin. But we have hit one cruise where there was not. Nevertheless, we tend to stay pre cruise and may do a land tour post cruise so we’d rather have one than have to call. It’s in our packing list and always go in our pre- hotel / post hotel bag. If we don’t need it great 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlaMariner Posted October 18, 2019 #15 Share Posted October 18, 2019 We've always had one in the room or had no issues getting the steward to secure one. We don't bring a corkscrew but ALWAYS bring 2 bottles of wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidergirl Posted October 19, 2019 #17 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I am rather inept with corkscrews - I never get the screw in the cork straight in those corkscrews you get in hotel rooms or ship cabins. If I had space and didn't care about weight, I'd probably bring my Rabbit with me (no, not THAT kind of "Rabbit" 😉 ). I bring my trusty Ah-So with me. 2 prongs, wiggle it down the neck and then twist to bring up that cork. You can reverse the process to re-cork if you want.

We love our 'Rabbit' as well, best wine opener around. It doesn't weigh all THAT much, nor does it take up much space in our bags... so it comes with us! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
