Bring Your Own Wine Onboard

[johnlcruise]

Question?

If we bring our own bottles of wine on board.

Does Oceania charge a "Corkage Fee"?

Are there wine openers in the room?

Thanks for your response.

We bring our own wine and our own corkscrew. Housekeeping could probably find you a corkscrew but we have  never asked. No corkage fee if you enjoy your wine in your own cabin. Corkage fee is payable when you bring your own wine to any of the dining rooms.

Typically there is a waiter-style wine key next to your ice bucket. Once it was missing so we asked and one appeared.

Unless you have a group deal corkage fee is $25/btl.

And if you bring wine to a dining room, if you aren't finishing it all, you can either bring it back to your room or you can ask them to store it for you for the next evening, by name and cabin/suite number.  (No second charge.)

Then, whichever dining area you are in, just ask them for it, and they'll get it for you.  So it might take just a bit of extra time.

Yep, brought my 6 bottles on board Sirena (11/22) as I did on Riviera (12/21). And brought back beer, hard liquor and wine from port excursions. Oddly, the wine opener in our room by the ice bucket worked great for the wine but not so much for the beer bottles.

Corkage fee applies to any public space - not just restaurants.

Can we bring a 1.5 liter bottle of wine to the dining room or does it have to be standard size? Thank you!

$25 corkage whether a magnum, jerobaum, methuselah, etc. A bottle is a bottle.

But is a 4 liter box of wine a "bottle" for corkage fees, or a bottle with a twist off top, which doesn't have a cork?  😁

Actually surprised someone hasn’t already asked about a keg. 😜 Something along the lines of:

 

” I’m a beer drinker, can I bring my mini keg to the PG and they tap it for me? What will the charge be?  Will they store it for me and bring it to the Terrace later for me?”

 

But what about????

And as most corks are now polyethylene, do I still have to pay corkage?  😜

Yes, but you have to pay with plastic.
