Merion_Mom Posted August 21, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2004 You were lucky, patry. Last week on the Voyager, we were charged a $12 corkage fee (which we had read about on this board) in Portofino's. What *I* thought was quite outrageous was that I was charged the 15% gratuity on this SERVICE CHARGE. In the dining room, I said to our waiter, "I'd rather YOU got the money than RCCL." She didn't charge me the corkage fee, and she got extra money in her tip envelope. :) Their wine list leaves a great deal to be desired. It's almost impossible NOT to bring your own, if you are any kind of a wine drinker. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLP1 Posted August 21, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Thanks for the advice. This is our first time on RCL but on past cruises on Celebrity we have always carried on our own wine and paid the corkage which is now $20 on Celebrity .

drarill Posted August 21, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Rance222 Try to tip ahead. We gave our head waiter $50 the first day on board and $25 to the Assist Waiter. They didnt charge us any corkage fee during the whole cruise. At the end of the cruise they got their tip and a little extra for their excellent service Lydia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarlenna Posted August 21, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2004 The corkage fee does not go to the waiter - so my question is: Can the waiter get in trouble for failure to collect the corkage fee? If he cannot, then WHY would any of them ever charge it and risk making their source of future tips unhappy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveky Posted August 22, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I've had my corkage fee waived also and wondered if the waiter would get into trouble. Don't think they watch that too much on wines, it's the liquor from the alcohol store on ship where they loose the money on drinks where you can mix your own in your room. Happy cruising, Dave in Ky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
