On RCI, and most restaurants, the corkage fee has nothing to do with opening the bottle. It has to do with compensating for the loss in revenue when you bring, instead of buy, your wine. So, it is charged, even if you open the bottle and bring it. Just sailed the RC Symphony and we did bring our own opened bottle which and there was NO fee at all. Sorry, but you are incorrect Be sure to try and give correct answers when you post 😊 Edited January 29, 2020 by janetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recognize the economics and the rationale so I'm not surprised or bothered by it. Lately I've had issues spending my onboard credit, so I've resolved not to carry on wine next time. Read the posts, I commented specifically about RCI. The person answered about that post, so I assumed they were also talking about RCI. If they were comparing apples to oranges, that is on THEM. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted February 1, 2020 #28 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I can count the number of times in my life that we've drank a bottle of wine at dinner on one hand (and I can drink a lot). I generally don't like a lot with my meal. My bottle never leaves my room. The most I'll do is take a few sips in the room, top off, and bring a glass dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for helping me understand! 15+ cruises on Royal and have been or seen anyone charged a corkage fee. You can also leave your opened wine bottle on the table and the waiter will store it and it will be waiting for you the next night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getting older slowly Posted February 10, 2020 #31 Share Posted February 10, 2020 One good idea is bring a wine saver... so you can save the wine for the next night..... Always keep wine in our room and in the fridge if needed..... Also wine glasses always available from room steward. Enjoy Cheers Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingron Posted February 10, 2020 #32 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Azamara charges corkage if you open the bottle in the dining rooms. You're free to bring and drink your wine for free in your own room. They'll even provide glasses and a cork screw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
