Scatmanjack Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Is the corkage fee still around for bottles you bring yourself and have served in MDR or Specialty? Know it's not always applied, but wondering if it is still 'on the books'? Didn't see anything during quick search of RCL website... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJones Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Officially yes. In practice it really varies on the server. You can also ask your stateroom attendant for a corkscrew and glasses, and serve yourself in your room before going to the dining venue. foxrunner and KristiZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 On my last Anthem sailing, no corkage fee applied on my statement for either of the two bottles I brought on board. Will note that I had a bit of an incident with the Seaplex Dog House early in the cruise that led to a lot of comped items being given to me, so that might have played a part. But I'm doubtful given how few people seem to report having the fee applied these days. foxrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxrunner Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Just back from the Allure in Jan. We brought 2 bottles on board. They were opened and served in the in the MDR. No fee what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it could still be subject to the corkage fee, if one is being assessed. As it has been explained many times, the corkage fee has nothing to do with uncorking the bottle.

Full version can be read in my live blog of that trip (top-most link in my signature). Short version is that one of my German sausages had a big hunk of metal in it, probably sheared off at the processing plant. Brought it to Royal's attention more out of safety concern than anything else, and they proceeded to comp me for the trouble with a whole bunch of stuff, including a complimentary dinner at Jamie's Italian. After all that, assessing a corkage fee might have been felt by them to be perceived as... silly would be one word for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKathy Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 We brought 2 bottles of vino on our last cruise and didn't pay any corkage fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
