Can we bring wine onboard?

Princess allows two bottles per cabin, what about MSC? Can we bring some wine on board?

The standard reply is If you attempt to bring it on board and they detect it, they will ask you to leave it with them until the end of the cruise at which time they retun it to you.

However I have read on these boards that some people have taken the odd bottle onboard and not had to hand it in despite it having been detected.

So if you try, you risk having it confiscated until the last night of your cruise when it will be returned to you.

Just returned from a med cruise with MSC we had no problem bringing water beer wine on board. I'm sure this is not the norm maybe they were just under staffed. However at one port we asked the security staff before leaving the ship if we could just nip of to buy wine in the duty free shop and bring it back on board we were told no problem

Just back, and some of us brought beer on board in our luggage, some wine and everything was just fine!

If you mean what will you be able to bring onboard, that is a different answer as they rarely are vigilant at policing their own rules particularly with water and soft drinks. I invariably have water in my bag when I come back from port. It has never been confiscated. I've 3 times had small amounts of alcohol in my carry on and again never confiscated.

My personal experience is wine boxes in luggage get through without a problem. Not sure about bottles as I worry about them breaking in transit.

Bottles in hand luggage are inspected. Boarding in Fort Lauderdale, i had two large bottles of Diet Coke (the cans work out expensive on the ship), one of which I had opened, only because I stayed in FL the previous night and wanted to drink some Coke. The guy on the scanner asked me to open the unsealed bottle and thn he sniffed it. I believe the only reason was to check I hadn't mixed it with alcohol!

Thank you! Good to know! Great reply!
