Port of Miami and Alcohol

[ashwhita]

Just a question.....I've been looking and cannot find an answer in any other threads but if you are caught with liquor on you, not in your bags but in a pocket or something, do they just confiscate the alcohol or do they do something else?????

Its my understanding they will only confiscate.

 

Here is statement from Carnival.com in FAQ section.......

 

Liquor and Beverage Policy

 

Bringing Alcohol On Board - Embarkation Day:

 

Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board. However, at the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring on board one bottle (750ml) of wine or champagne, per person, only in their carry-on luggage. A $10 corkage fee per bottle will be charged should you wish to consume this wine in the main dining room; $14 corkage fee per bottle in the steakhouse. Guests may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages. All prohibited alcohol, excessive quantities of wine/champagne or non-alcoholic beverages will be removed and stored for safekeeping until the end of the voyage. The retained item(s) will be delivered to your stateroom on the last night of the cruise. Unsealed containers with prohibited liquids will be discarded, as well as any unclaimed items left after the voyage, and no compensation will be given in either case.

It depends how full the brig is of previous caught smuggers........

Try and not be one of the first few caught, as the brig is a deck below sea level and you have to eat crew's food all week~~!!~~

[ashwhita]

Any other ideas?

[arush5268d]

If it's in the original sealed container you will get it back on the last night. Otherwise you can either take it back to your vehicle or they will dispose of it.

Hmmmm... that sounds like the PERFECT way to have a GREAT last night and not have to store the booze in your cabin all week.....

Especially if doing a B2B

A glass bottle with a plastic cap is NOT going to set of the magnetometer.

Nope, but it sure will be visible on x-ray.

But the pax do not go through xray

But the pax do not go through xray

 

Bags do though.

 

Unless you think one could hide a glass bottle of booze in your pants. But some ports are reported to be checking for that too.

The OP was asking about carrying it in their pocket:rolleyes:

[zozza]

can anyone tell me can I carry on two bottles of wine on a back to back?

[KruznKel]

Just a question.....I've been looking and cannot find an answer in any other threads but if you are caught with liquor on you, not in your bags but in a pocket or something, do they just confiscate the alcohol or do they do something else?????

 

Sorry to be so blunt... but dont ever try to carry liquor on your person,, unless it is a bottle of wine or champagne.. why would you even do that..:rolleyes:

[KruznKel]

can anyone tell me can I carry on two bottles of wine on a back to back?

 

One in each persons carry on YES.. 2 in one I don't think so..

[poobears]

Each adult can carry a bottle on so you could take 2 that way. Or do you mean both of you want to take 2? If that was the case I'd just tell them you have 2 due to a B2B and if they'd like to hold one for you until the end of this cruise that would be fine. They'll probably allow it through, if not they'll hold it and you'll still have it for the next leg.

[ManyMore]

I'm not sure why people post they got their wine and soda and water through.... you are ALLOWED that. They are pretty leniant about the wine, we carried on 3 bottles for the 2 or us.
