scanner55 Posted April 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2011 If we have a bottle of booze delivered to the room & make drinks, can we take them on deck? by the pool? to the bar? to dinner? what about a glass of wine? don't want to make a faux pas:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donder1 Posted April 5, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I am not sure about actually taking the "bottle of whatever" with you to the pool, etc. But, you could mix your drinks and put them in a water bottle and take to the pool or deck. I have taken a glass of wine (we always ask the room steward for wine glasses on arrival) to the deck or other public venue in a discreet manner. Most often, though, we like to have wine or a drink watching the sunset from our balcony. As far as the MDR, you can take a bottle of wine and they will serve it. Likely, they will charge you a corkage fee. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 HappyCruiser Posted April 5, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2011 There are many people who really believe that taking drinks from you cabin is not allowed at all. :eek: Myself, I just fill a glass or my mug with whatever I bring from home or the bar setup in my cabin & go wherever including dinner. Not a word will be said & no one will even notice you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT172 Posted April 5, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I doubt if you would ever have a problem ...however, its not wise to take 'glass' to the pool areas.... it's a safety thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted April 5, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2011 We almost always take a glass of wine with us to dinner, whereever dinner is that night. (diningroom or buffet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the glasses that Princess serves drinks in at the pool? I don't think they're unbreakable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAZANDSTEVE Posted April 5, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I expect if you take a glass of wine to dinner with you, they will think you just bought it from the bar.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toto2Kansas Posted April 5, 2011 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I doubt if you would ever have a problem ...however, its not wise to take 'glass' to the pool areas.... it's a safety thing. I agree, the glasses Princess serves drinks in at the pool areas are almost always plastic/unbreakable. Beer bottles are the only glass I have ever seen out there. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off2China Posted April 5, 2011 #11 Share Posted April 5, 2011 We almost always take a glass of wine with us to dinner, whereever dinner is that night. (diningroom or buffet). I was reading another thread where a few posters said they thought people who do this are "cheap" and/or "tacky." :D We do the same thing, Pia, so I guess we're in the same category as you and Mike, (whatever category that is).

bugsy43 Posted April 5, 2011 #16 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Like others have said, we usually make a drink or glass of wine in the cabin and take our drink with us to dinner. It just looks like we are bringing a bar drink into dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricok987 Posted April 5, 2011 #18 Share Posted April 5, 2011 HAL lets you bring soda onboard and I bought a bottle of rum for the cabin. I was 1 deck from the lido so I brought a 16 ounce plastic cup from home and made rum & diet cokes of which I took to the buffet, or pool-all the time. I would just put my drink down and get my food, or swim/whatever. I suggest you bring a big capacity plastic cup, or buy one on board. Otherwise you would run out of you beverage real fast using what they provide at the bar, or in your stateroom and have to keep going back & forth to refill it. I would think if you bought a big Princess Cup onboard you would be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
