Can you bring two bottles of wine on board for use in your cabin upon embarkation? Otyer cruise lines let you but for us its been a while since we were on Royal.

Thank you.

Yes, Larry - 2 bottles per person. And RCI dropped their corkage fee last year, so you can bring your favorite bottle to the dining room with no extra charge. :smile:

Thank you. That means 4 bottles for us but 2 will be fine.

It's nice to see a cruise line actually reducing some fees or charges vs. adding more.

Really? We read online that we could not do that, so we didn't bother taking the risk, and didn't even think to re-question it.

But it is good to know.

Lord of the Sea - that's what's so great about this site - we learn something new every day!

Here it is - direct from Royal Caribbean:

Guests are not permitted to bring alcoholic beverages onboard; with the exception of embarkation day when guests are permitted to bring onboard with them up to two (2) bottles of wine (which are subject to a corkage fee) per stateroom.

Jan - the wine allowance on RC is 2 bottles per cabin - not per person.

You're right, MaryLou. It must have been wishful thinking on my part (or maybe I'm seeing double)! Sorry, Larry, you'll have to cancel that party in your cabin!

Well Jan I think 2 will be fine. It's only 7 days. :D.

We were on Oasis in July with kids and grandkids. What a wonderful ship. The onboard staff and crew are simply the best. We brought our wine to the dining room and were never charged the corkage fee. Must have been my 2 year old granddaughter flirting with all the wait staff. LOL :rolleyes2:
