Sueil33 Posted September 12, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2011 What are the rules for bringing alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages on board? Any special tips for NCL? Epic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welove2cruise232 Posted September 12, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2011 No alcoholic beverages allowed to be brought on board (same as many other cruiselines) -- you can bring all the water/soda/juice you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted September 12, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2011 What are the rules for bringing alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages on board? Any special tips for NCL? Epic? As the last person said. If you want to see some discussions about people that "try" to bring booze onboard, just scroll though postings from the past week. You will find this discussed often, and sometimes in great depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azappraiser Posted September 12, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2011 What are the rules for bringing alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages on board? Any special tips for NCL? Epic? :rolleyes: Feel free to bring what you want... the bars & waitstaff are only on board for those people that are too lazy to bring their own. BTW - The mini-bar in the cabins is FREE too... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerintn Posted September 12, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2011 From the NCL website (FAQs): Please note that with the exception of Wine and Champagne, all guests are prohibited from bringing alcohol on board our ships. If you purchase any alcohol at one of our ports-of-call or in our onboard shops, we will safely store your purchase(s) and on the final night of the cruise it will be available for pick up in a designated area. Wine & Champagne Policy Guests are allowed to bring wine or champagne onboard. These will be subject to a $15 corkage fee regardless of size. Wines that are not featured on NCL's wine lists are subject to the corkage fee including wine sent directly to the ship by Travel Agents, friends, family, from another retail source, etc. The bottle will have a sticker or stamp placed on it showing that the fee was paid, and that the guest will be allowed to have the product onboard. This fee will be charged to the guest’s onboard account. Wines that come in boxes are not allowed onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbait17 Posted September 12, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2011 If you would like to have a bottle of liquor in your cabin, do a search on this forum for "Bar Setup". While not directly listed on the NCL website, there is a service that will provide a bottle or two (or three or more :D) in your cabin for a price - worth it to me!

Jerseyboy1 Posted September 12, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 12, 2011 People on these boards will tell you there are no rules only guidelines on ships. So, do what ever the heck you want on a ship. You probably won't get caught and afterall it is your vacation.....:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichepler Posted September 12, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I've never seen an official policy on water, soda, mixers, etc... but everyone says feel free to bring them on, so it's more of an NCL don't ask don't tell policy I guess? The x-rays are only looking for bottles of Grey Goose and Patron. I'm surprised the x-rays can't pick up "rum runners" though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryutah Posted September 12, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Can't help on alcohol but we took our own bottles of Diet Coke on board in both Seattle and Juneau and kept in the fridge. They brought us cups of ice on deck/in restaurants to serve it - was no issue what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamivice435 Posted September 12, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Does someone have a "Bar Setup" list ? Would like to order a bottle or 2 for our cruise in 2 weeks. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgie12 Posted September 14, 2011 #18 Share Posted September 14, 2011 NCL - you need to get out of 'mean mode'. That's why I go P&O whenever I can, as long as you are sensible and not board drunk every time, you can take on wine and beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddark Posted September 14, 2011 #19 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Does someone have a "Bar Setup" list ? Would like to order a bottle or 2 for our cruise in 2 weeks. Thanks! Send an email to your ship coordinator. It should be shipcoordinator(yourship)@ncl.com i.e. shipcoordinatorjade@ncl.com You usually have to do it at least 2 weeks prior to the cruise so you might want to do that soon!

It has been a long standing policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
