Did Carnival change the # of bottles of wine one can carry-on?

[sweetlife]

Last time I cruised I brought on 2 bottles of wine.  The rules now say one bottle?  Did the policy change?  If so, when?  Thanks.

One bottle, up to 750ml, per adult. Up to 12 cans/cartons of soda/mixer. Been posted policy for years.

Two bottles per cabin if there are two adults (21 or over) in your cabin.  Maybe this is why you were thinking it was two?

Celebrity allows two per person.

It is one bottle per adult, two bottles per cabin. If you are a single cruiser you can probably very likely bring two bottles through security and they wouldn't bat an eyelash, thinking you were a party of two.

Is there a uncorking fee to open the bottles of wine?

Only in the dining room. If you drink it in your cabin you are fine (and there is nothing that says you can't pour a glass in your cabin and take it to the dining room).

Fee is supposed to be charged in the steakhouse and mdr, but not always. We've sailed 5 times since the restart, and have brought wine into the mdr on all 5 and steakhouse once, and not been charged the fee. We do bring it in open and with wine glasses. Prior to the shutdown it was pretty much hit or miss as well. Guess we've been sort of....lucky.

I've seen both, but go with this

 

"1.) Embarkation day when each guest is permitted to bring onboard with them up to two (2) bottles of wine (which are subject to a corkage fee) per guest. A corkage fee does not apply to guests with the Classic Beverage Package or Premium Beverage Package. Security may inspect containers (including water bottles, soda bottles, mouthwash, canteens, etc.) at any time and will dispose of alcohol concealed in such container."

There can be a corkage fee, which has nothing to do with opening the bottle or if it has a cork vs screw top.

[Joebucks]

It is supposed to be 1 per person, for a max of 2 per room. One time I carried 2 bottles and they checked the other guest to make sure we weren't take too many. For the most part, no one ever says anything. It may vary by port.

 

The corkage fee is a Carnival policy to recoup profits from not being able to sell their own wine. Most of the waiters hate to charge it because they don't not want to anger the guest.

I  read once where someone was able to get a box of wine on as their bottle??  Anyone?

I'm sure that it's happened but I wouldn't count on it as a regular occurrence.

Could have been a full 4 person cabin too.  All took that as their 1 bottle.

That's what I do (Carrt a glass of wine to dinner).
