RCL Overturns Ban on Cruise Passengers Bringing Wine Onboard

(ˆ◡ˆ) Saw this today on Cruise Critic 

After years of forbidding passengers from bringing their favorite bottles of wine or sparkling wine on-board with them, Royal Caribbean is reversing its stance. Effective immediately, passengers on all Royal Caribbean ships can bring up to two bottles of wine per cabin on-board during embarkation.

Bottles must be 750 ml each or smaller, and passengers who want to drink their wine in public spaces such as bars or restaurants must pay a $25 corkage fee per bottle.

Additionally, each bottle must retain the original manufacturer's seal and exhibit no signs of tampering.

Royal joins sister company Celebrity Cruises, as well as other lines including Carnival Cruise Lines, Princess Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line, in allowing passengers to bring a limited number of wine or champagne bottles on-board with them.
