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.
