Can you bring your own wine to dinner on a cruise?

Guests who bring their own bottle of wine into the dining room are charged a corking fee. You can, however, bring a glass of wine to dinner and not be charged. Just ask your stateroom attendant for some wine glasses and a corkscrew, and you can sip and savor a glass of wine whenever you'd like.
