Does HAL allow you to bring your own wine to dinner for a corkage fee?

I think it's $15.00 now and possibly a 15% gratuity. Not sure about this though. If I remember, I will ask when I am on one of the ships in a couple of weeks.

Lougee - do you know if they charge a 15% gratuity?

think they are tacking 15% onto everything they can -- after all the wine guy doesnt get the corkage charge the cruiselline does and that covers at least some of the profit they would have made had you bought a bottle of theirs---------------------the wine guy opens the bottle--serves-- checks back for refills and the 15% is his for the work he as done with your bottle of wine

The corkage fee is $15.00 and this INCLUDES the gratuity.
