Royal Caribbean wine policy
About the Royal Caribbean wine allowance in the carry on luggage. As of Nov 1, 2012, by the new RCI wine rules passengers are allowed to bring on board 2x750 ml bottles of wine/champagne per cabin at embarkation (bottles must retain their original manufacturer's seals). If you bring more than 2 wine bottles, the additional wine will be secured by ship staff to be returned prior to disembarkation. Your wine can be consumed without charge only in your cabin/also on the balcony - if you choose to drink it elsewhere on board, a $25 corkage fee will be applied. The only exception from the wine rule is if you've received it as an amenity via RCI (Gifts and Gear, GAP, etc) - then you can consume it at any of the public venues on board without charge (the list of venues includes main dining rooms, speciality restaurants, bars & lounges). Passengers are still not allowed to bring any other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on board Royal Caribbean ships.
