A Wino's Guide to Cruising


**This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience**

Hey, y'all! I recently shared with you a list of Cruise Packing Tips & Hacks but when I did so I left off 3 things I always bring with me on a cruise. D'oh! Did you know that many cruise lines allow you to bring a 750ml bottle of wine or champagne with you?

The Low Down

  • The wine should be kept in your carry on for the embarkation process.

  • Each person over the age of 21 is allowed to bring 1 750ml bottle.

  • This means that if you're travelling with other folks who aren't wine drinkers, they can bring a bottle on for you!

  • The cruise line charges an uncorking fee to open the bottle at dinner.

How I Get Around The Fee (Because I'm Cheap)

  • Pack a bottle that has a twist top.

  • Bring your own cork screw- I pack one similar to this. It's small and light weight which makes it perfect for travel!

  • Pack a bottle stopper- I pack this set with me. Again, they aren't bulky or heavy and they do a great job sealing off the bottle.
