Another wine question

[scdreamer]

I apologize in advance if this particular question has been answered infinitum, but I haven't been able to track down a definitive answer with the "search" feature.

 

I know you can bring wine on board if you are willing to pay a $15/per bottle corkage fee.

 

That said - do they keep the wine and only allow you to have it during a meal? Or can you have it in your cabin?

 

I often enjoy a glass of wine while unwinding and getting ready for dinner. Should we just go ahead and bring the wine to check-in, pay the fee, and then we can take it directly to our cabin?

Check into ordering it thru NCL. That way it'll be chilled (depending on the wine of course) or at least available in your cabin. I ordered a bottle and it was chilled waiting for me in my cabin when I arrived. We ended up sending it to a specialty restaurant and had it with dinner. If it is a special bottle, pay the $15. Otherwise check out the pricing/availability as you may get it at a similiar price without lugging it with you and doing the corkage thing. Good luck, enjoy.

Once you pay the $15 corkage fee you can drink the wine in your cabin, or bring it to a restaurant (with the receipt) and drink it there. Also if you purchase a bottle in a restaurant and don't finish it there you can take it back to your cabin, or have them store it for consumption another time in the same of different restaurant.
