sherman931 Posted May 4, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I just left the CB last week. I took five bottles of wine. Packed them in my carry-on. If you take them to the dining rooms/restaurants they charge you a $10 corkage fee. Obviously, no charge if you open them in your romm or on your baclony. It is permitted to bring wine on board.

Dreamer333 Posted May 4, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2005 We all know that Princess allows us to bring wine onboard, so I was surprised when I saw this info right here on the Cruise Critic web site regarding Princess's policy about alcohol: Bringing wine or Champagne onboard: Allowed if purchased during a port visit; not allowed at embarkation. May be consumed in restaurants or in staterooms. When brought to restaurants, a $10 corkage fee applies. http://www.cruisecritic.com/features/articles.cfm?ID=40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserforlife Posted May 4, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2005 You can buy a wine shipper (basically a cardboard box with a "clamshell" styrofoam insert) which will hold 6 or 12 bottles.Or you can contact "Just Because of You" in FL...they will deliver wine,beer,& water directly to your stateroom so you won't have to deal with lugging it through airports...:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing wine and champagne onboard is allowed at embarkation or during any port visit. This has been discussed before.. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=37160&highlight=princess+liquor+policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoTL Posted May 4, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Largin is definitely correct, the CC info is wrong. One can bring wine and champagne onboard at embarkation and from a port. We've brought wine onboard on each of our cruises without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamer333 Posted May 5, 2005 #11 Share Posted May 5, 2005 okie dokie..... :D Is it really necessary to be so argumentative, Larry? That's a very unattractive quality, and I am quite certain that it is responses like the one above which causes people to hesitate to post here on these boards. Can't you be a bit nicer?

Lucille0701 Posted May 5, 2005 #12 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Dear LARGIN, Dreamer333 is correct. You seem to want to argue with him/her, and maybe you should be a bit nicer to the other writers. I am being very bold by writing my opinion here, because I know that I am bound to get some angry responses, but I think it is the mother in me that doesn't approve of bullies, or bully-behavior. I am sure you have a lovely personality, but it doesn't come accross very well on some of the things that I have been reading from you over the past several weeks. As a matter of fact, you were one of the writers who made me very hesitant to write down my questions on this web site. I hope you don't get mad at me for writing this, LARGIN. I hope that while I am getting many lessons about cruising, than maybe I can get a chance to give a small lesson here or there. Please do not think I am picking on you, LARGIN. I am sure that you contain much knowledge about cruising, and I can probably learn much from you. Sincerely, Lucille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARGIN Posted May 5, 2005 #18 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Dear Dreamer333.. Okie dokie means I concur with what you said. What kind of an arguement is that? To Lucille0701, lighten up and check out my 3600+ posts on this board that give great info to new and old cruisers.. I resent the fact that you are calling me a bully...

If you were sincerly "concuring" with what I said, than I apologize. To me, it seemed sarcastic. I also apologize if I seem as tho I am over-reacting to this particular post. I guess I am just frustrated that you seem to respond to many of my posts in not such a nice way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
