corkage fee for magnums and boxes?

[reporterjen]

Several folks in this thread talked speculatively about what they'd be charged by way of a corkage fee for a box of wine or oversize bottle of wine that they declared at embarkation. But what's the reality on the ground (or, I should say, on the sea)? :)

 

What corkage fees have folks been charged for, say, a magnum, or a 3-liter box of wine?

 

I know the NCL policy is supposedly 15 bucks per liter, but they're also charging 15 bucks per bottle (smaller than a liter), and, of course, it's unlikely that they're calculating new rates for different sizes of drinks.

 

Thanks,

Jen.

boxes might be interesting....because, due to their shape, don't look like wine. So it might just slip through security....any thoughts?

We went down to LA a few days before our cruise, and I bought a bag of pina coloda mix at Big lots for $2.00. I figured I coudl take it with me if they wanted to charge me a fee I woudl decide to pay it or just give it to them. It was a big 3 litre box, nothing was ever said about it when I was going on the ship! We carried it on with another big bottle of Champagne!
