devilsaint78 Posted March 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I know everyone is allowed to bring one 750ML bottle of champagne or wine on board, but has anyone ever tried bringing a 750ML bottle of craft beer instead? Would that be allowed or does beer fall into some other category than wine so a substitution wouldn't be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thompsolonian Posted March 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah, good question! My wife isn't much of a wine or champaigne drinker. But she enjoys craft beer as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondello Posted March 30, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It clearly states wine or champagne is permitted. This allowance is given for those who may wish to bring a "special" wine/champagne to enjoy on their cruise that may not be a brand available on the cruise.

drosphot Posted March 30, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yeah a big bottle of Chimay Cinq Cents would be wonderful! Please let us know what they say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuchio24 Posted March 30, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I would suspect it would depend on who you have checking you though security. Maybe they'd hardly look, maybe it would be taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted March 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2012 If the label says barley wine you might have a chance getting past the screeners as they are looking for labels that say wine. If the bottle says beer it will be confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This allowance is given for those who may wish to bring a "special" wine/champagne to enjoy on their cruise that may not be a brand available on the cruise. I would say the difference in quality between the beer offered on board and "special" beer is FAR greater than the fairly decent wine lists I have seen people post from previous Inspiration cruises. There's really no beer offered on board that I would look forward to drinking. I may have to try a Barleywine. I certainly won't bring anything from the cellar (wouldn't want that taken away) but a trip to Total Wine to find a bottle I wouldn't mind if it were taken is worth a shot.

Rottweiler Puppy Posted April 3, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yeah a big bottle of Chimay Cinq Cents would be wonderful! Please let us know what they say! I am going to bring two bottles of Chimay or Ommegang and put champagne labels on them. They look like champagne bottles anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted April 3, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Good luck to all of you attempting to try this dodge!. Personally it's a waste of good brew and good $$! They'll grab it an you'll never see it again. "Oops, sorry it must have rolled around in the unventilated storage area during those rough sea days we had and the top popped":eek: Or "What bottle was that ?
