Just called Royal Caribbean to find out their corkage fee and they said that they do not allow passengers to bring any wine. May in fact choose a different cruiseline simply based on this policy.

Hi, I really enjoyed you comments. I was told on my last Princess cruise to Hawaii that if you bring your own ‘brands’ that the restaurant serve, as. ie., Kendall Jackson (of which I love), there is not a cork fee or a service charge, is this true? If this is true, do you know of the other fine wines that they consider ‘off limits’ also. I have head that Princess also considers Byron, Pknot Noir, as acceptable also. Any truth in this? Also the French, Beau Jolais Villagies. I am going on a Tahitian Princess trip to Tahiti and the Maques Islands the end of October and any info you can give me as to bring my own wines, and not have to pay the exorbant prices they charge would be very well appreicated.
Respectfully,
Tina Brush

Jefe,

Yeah we checked out the glacier. Beautiful stuff, though they only let you hang out for 35 mins or so. My one regret is that I wish I could have gotten better pictures on that particular excursion.

Michelle,

Good points. I didn’t want to recommend that anyone do anything *against the rules*, but we also figured out ways to get some slightly better wine on board (gift baskets sent to ourselves). Thanks for the heads up!

Winesmith,

Good to see you blogging again Alan. I take it you don’t have much of an affinity for cruise lines. Let me tell you though, a cruise is far and away the best way to experience the Alaskan frontier. Everthing is so remote and spread out that there really is no other way. Its also much more affordable than you might think (especially if you use mileage points for your airfare like we did).

Richard,

Thanks for the comment. I have to hand it to you, yours is by far the nastiest comment I’ve gotten in over a year and a half of writing pinotblogger,

The unfortunate thing is that you make a pretty good point about leaving a very young child “alone” for 7 days, but your concern is buried under a mountain of snarkiness and just plain old meanness.

To your point: we debated long and hard about taking this vacation, asked trusted councilors, child care professionals and talked with our family. In the end we felt confident that leaving Jack with both his grandparents for a week would make for a good bonding experience for everyone involved (us, Jack, and the ‘rents).

We are fortunate that we are able to take our son to work with us, so we have been blessed to spend nearly every hour of every day for the last 10 months either taking care of or, literally, within shouting distance of The Boy. It’s been fantastic, but its also been tiring.

It took a lot of courage for Candace to tear herself away, and it certainly wasn’t easy or done lightly, but it was without a doubt worth it both for our relationship, as well as for Jack and his grandparents.

Anyway, that’s the story. Hope you enjoyed your rant!
