Wine at the supper Club


Moca

Recommended Posts

Can you bring your own wine to the supper club as you would the dinning room?

 

Thanks

Yes, subject to a $14 corkage.

Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages onboard. However, guests 21 years of age and older only may bring one bottle (750ml) of wine or champagne, per person, on board only during embarkation at the beginning of the cruise. A $10 corkage fee per bottle will be charged should you wish to consume this wine in the main dining room; $14 corkage fee per bottle in the Supper Club.

What if you open the bottle in your room....is there still a corkage fee?

 

The corkage fee isn't to open the bottle, it is to make up for the service and what the restaurant is losing by not selling you a bottle of wine.

The ABC's and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Corkage

 

What is Corkage?

Corkage is a per bottle fee that a restaurant charges a customer who brings their own wine to be consumed at that restaurant. This isn't allowed in the majority of restaurants in the country, but it's very common/normal in Northern California.

 

Why do restaurants charge Corkage fees?

The corkage fee covers service (but not tips/service charge), wine glass breakage/rental and some of the lost revenue from not selling a wine off the restaurant's list. Keep in mind that restaurants are in the business to make money and wine is perhaps their biggest profit center; in most circumstances, a $20 corkage fee is not at all unreasonable
