Can I bring a box of wine..like Black Box instead of two bottles?

Just curious if they would allow this? We like to have a glass of wine before dinner, etc. and with all the other stuff we carry on I'm thinking there would be less chance of this breaking than two glass bottles.

Anybody know?

Probably not.

I was actually thinking even the smaller ones like the Bota Box.

If you don't mind taking a chance and losing it, go ahead, but the rule clearly states no larger than 750ml bottle.

Considering you can bring two 750ml bottles as long as the box isn't over 1500 ml with the box, you should be okay.

1. Logic is not Royal Caribbean's strong suit.

2. Logic is even more not port workers' strong suit.

If they spot it, I would expect them to confiscate it and not listen to any arguments about it being "the same as two bottles".

I wouldn't want to take the chance...

Thanks everyone.

Wrap it carefully in saran wrap and then put it in a 2 gallon ziplock bag. Then pack the bottle in your clothes.

Not the best advice.

Bubble wrap !

On a Carnival cruise I had one 1.5 liter bottle of wine and they would not allow me to take it to my stateroom. On the last night they delivered the wine to the stateroom. Since we were flying I gave it to the cabin attendant. :D NCL does allow a 1.5 liter bottle of wine but there is a 30.00 corkage fee.

The normal box wine (Bota or BlackBox) contains 3 liters. That equals 4-750ml bottles of wine. Take it out of the box and lay it flat like a rum runner, and it might work. ;)

It's a lot easier for each person to take two bottles. We take 2 bottles in our carry on and two bottles in a old Royal canvas bag that I carry. They pay no attention as who's with who as you go through the scanner. happy cruising

I have done this on X several times. It has never been a problem.

Moderators should black hole any posts that provide information on smuggling prohibited items. It costs us honest people money.

I always bring a box. Pack your husband's shoes or your snorkel finds around it.

Best to comply with RCCL rules and your cruise contract. RCCL allows two bottles of 750ml wine per stateroom.

What has that got to do with anything? Do you appreciate increases in fares and onboard costs because other people share info on how to smuggle booze? I know that I don't.

Max if you really believe this, I feel sorry for you:(

I don't want your pity. Would just be nice if people had enough respect not to openly discuss how to smuggle prohibited items. What a day and age we live in where someone with a moral compass is offered pity from a stranger. Its okay, I know right from wrong and I'm not going to be shamed into choosing the wrong way to act. If I want a drink I'll buy one, thanks, earned the money.

Can't take glass wine bottles in carry on a flight, and did not want to bother to stop at a wine shop. Tossed two little 500 ml box wines in our suitcase in a gallon zip lock. Worked fine..and is less than the allowed amount of 750 per.

Otherwise we simply put one 750 bottle each in our two carry on bags for "drive to" ports.

Before the two wine bottle allowance, we used to pack a large box of wine every cruise. Never was a problem. Never taken. However, we were careful to keep it out of sight of the cabin steward. I have heard of alcoholic beverages being confiscated by stewards if not the allowed type..

take the wine bladder out of the box, and put in your luggage, bring two bottles on with carry on, no problem!

Eventually RCI won't allow us honest people to bring bottles anymore because of the ones who think stealing is alright. Thank you in advance!
