CRUISE LINE WINE POLICIES - How to Bring Wine on a Cruise

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed overview of the various policies cruise lines implement regarding bringing wine and champagne on board. While most lines prohibit hard liquor, they generally allow passengers to bring 750 milliliter bottles of wine provided they are at least 21 years old. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on corkage fees, which are charges applied when wine is consumed in dining rooms or specialty restaurants. The creator notes that while some lines allow wine to be consumed in staterooms without a fee, others may charge for every bottle brought on board regardless of where it is consumed. Specific policies for major cruise lines are examined, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Holland America, Princess, and Disney. For instance, Disney is highlighted for its unique allowance of beer and the ability to bring wine back from ports of call. The creator concludes by advising travelers to check specific cruise line websites for nuances and suggests bringing twist top bottles or a personal corkscrew to simplify the process.
