When I’m organizing a trip, I always make sure that there will be wine available. Being a wine lover, I enjoy sampling different types and discovering new flavors. Therefore, my initial concern when purchasing my recent Royal Caribbean cruise was whether or not I could bring a bottle of wine with me on board.
I did some research and found that Royal Caribbean has a policy regarding bringing wine on board their ships. According to their guidelines, guests are allowed to bring up to two bottles of wine per stateroom on embarkation day. However, there are a few important things to note.
Firstly, the wine must be sealed, unopened, and in its original packaging. This means that you can’t bring a bottle that has already been opened or partially consumed. Additionally, the wine must be brought in your carry-on luggage, not in your checked bags. This is to ensure that you have access to it during your cruise.
Once on board, you can either enjoy the wine in your stateroom or bring it with you to the dining room. Royal Caribbean does charge a small corkage fee if you choose to consume the wine in a public area, such as a restaurant or bar. However, I found that the fee was quite reasonable considering the convenience and ability to enjoy my favorite wine during meals.
While I understand the need for policies and regulations, I do appreciate that Royal Caribbean allows guests to bring their own wine on board. It adds a personal touch to the vacation experience and allows wine lovers like me to enjoy their favorite bottles without restriction.
During my cruise, I made sure to bring a bottle of my favorite red wine. It was a special vintage that I had been saving for a special occasion. Being able to enjoy it on board while watching the sunset from my balcony was an unforgettable experience.
Of course, it’s important to remember that Royal Caribbean also offers an extensive selection of wines on board. Their onboard wine lists are carefully curated and feature a range of options from different regions and producers. So, even if you don’t bring your own wine, you’ll still have plenty of choices to explore and enjoy during your cruise.
In conclusion, yes, you can bring a bottle of wine on Royal Caribbean. The policy allows guests to bring up to two bottles per stateroom on embarkation day, as long as they are sealed and unopened. While there is a corkage fee for consuming the wine in public areas, it is reasonable and worth the convenience of enjoying your favorite wine on board. So, wine enthusiasts can rest assured knowing that they can savor their favorite bottles while cruising with Royal Caribbean.
