Bringing champagne

[1gail1]

Question is champagne considered the same as wine? can I bring a bottle of champagne and pay the corking fee? Would like to celebrate moms 80th b-day in the cabin as well as on the ship.

Champagne IS wine (the main grapes are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) and yes you may bring it and pay the $15 per bottle corkage fee.

Cheers

Without getting too technical, Martini Bianco is considered a vermouth and is a distilled liquor as opposed to wine which is fermented. It contains about the same alcohol percentage at 15%. Having said that, depending on who is checking, you may be able to convince them it is a white wine and pay the the $15 corkage fee. Worth a try? That's for you to decide. Worse thing happens, they take it away and you get it back on the last day. Cheers !!!
