Carrier’s security staff will be at the gangway to assist with the storage of Your alcoholic beverage purchases. A corkage

fee of $15.00 per bottle will be applied to wine and champagne consumed in the ship’s restaurant.

 

Looks to me like different cruises are getting different dated contracts. For my upcoming cruise on Jan 6th I received a contract dated 10/05 that still shows the $10 corkage fee. This could cause a bit of confusion but nothing to get worked up about.:) If they charge me $15 it's a small price to pay to enjoy a wine of my choice.

Laphroaig -- very fine and peaty.

 

My late grandfather was a real Scotch lover, and you should have seen the way he lit up when I returned from London with a bottle of Balvenie for him. I don't particularly care for Scotch, but I even enjoyed that one. ;)

I am not commenting on whether one should bring wine to the dining room--everyone has his reasons , romantic or oenophile.(not sure about spelling :)

 

However, I received my cruise passage (for cruise Mar. 17) only yesterday. It says $10 per bottle. the cruise contract says "revised 10/05"

 

do we have different versions of passenger contract out in circulation?
