Bottles of wine, yes, one per adult passenger and it must be consumed in your cabin. Any additional bottles are charged a $20 (?) corkage. It used to be $15, but I believe is was raised. Bottles of spirits or beer, no. Edited July 20, 2021 by msmoger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand Princess might have recently changed the rules and now only allows cans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFan Posted July 20, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Following this too. I usually take on a Dr Pepper in a screw-top bottle in my carryon bag (unopened). Is that a problem now? Or I sometimes get one in port and take back on. I don't drink a lot of soda but when I do, I don't want Coca Cola (that's all they have onboard).

afurman Posted July 20, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2021 You can pre-purchase water from Princess for delivery to the room prior to the cruise. It's not the same price as the supermarket but it wasn't very expensive and you don't need to carry it with you. It was something like $7 for 12 16.9oz bottles, just check out the cruise planner it's listed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You CAN consume that free (no corkage fee) bottle in the cabin without any charge. But you do not HAVE to consume it there. You can take it to the DR, for example, and they can assess the corkage fee. If you take it anywhere already opened, there is no corkage fee.

OR you can pour it into a glass (in your cabin) and take it anywhere on the ship. Hmmm...what if you poured 3 or 4 glasses worth into one of those big drink tumblers, took it to the MDR and asked for a glass??🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghgeckos Posted July 20, 2021 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Or bring the bottle into the Piazza and drink it with a friend before dinner. My friend and I did this on our last girls cruise. We always brought our final glass of wine into the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual policy is if you bring any free bottle, as opposed to a marked corkage paid bottle, to any public area you are subject to the corkage fee. The waiters probably missed it, did not pay attention, or did not wish to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissP22 Posted July 22, 2021 #19 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It's face it, Princess has banned bringing on of plastic bottles to keep down the smuggling of liquor. It involves lots of checking by security & from what I've seen, they don't have the time to check every bottle. I'm surprised they haven't stopped the allowance of wine carried abroad (like HAL) since it makes for easy smuggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get the starter water package and re-fill bottles from the tap for a while. At least we get more than a single use out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on pax's pix, it would seem not ... during the pause, I believe Princess was trying to source replacements, but I don't believe they actually implemented a change.
