STEPHEN LARKIN Posted July 6, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2012 :cool:Hi Everyone, I will come straight to the point, I will be sailing from Southampton in September and I am a bit of a wine and champagne enthusiast. I would like to bring a very expensive bottle or even bottles of champagne on-board on departure day, will this cause any problems at check-in, or will this cause a delay getting on-board ? Cheers for any help... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Sails Posted July 6, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Princess allows you to bring one bottle of wine (or champagne) per person. I made sure to find the biggest bottles of wine I could find! :D I don't think you'll have any issues bringing one 1 p.p. If you want to add a few more to your checked luckage, they're not as militant about it as RCCL is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted July 6, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2012 One bottle will almost always be no problem. Princess has the right to refuse multiple bottles, but generally has not been doing so. Please see one of the many recent wine threads for more info, there have been 3 or 4 in the past 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 6, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Princess rules are that each adult passenger is allowed to carry on one bottle of wine or champagne. The limit is rarely enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevintheIrishDJ Posted July 6, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2012 We bring it on by the case from Brooklyn, LA or FL. maybe the one bottle rule is from Southhampton?:confused: Pax et bonum, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lew- Posted July 6, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2012 We bring it on by the case from Brooklyn, LA or FL. maybe the one bottle rule is from Southhampton? The one-bottle rule applies to USA ports also. As mentioned above, this rule is rarely, if ever, enforced. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted July 7, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2012 There is no linit stated in the contract. :D Pax et bonum, Kevin You are correct there is no limit in the contract, but there is stuff about following any rules of the Captain, etc. In Australia, last September and October, they were very strict, One bottle per adult at embarkation and none at other ports.

-Lew- Posted July 7, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2012 There is no linit stated in the contract. You're absolutely correct. However, the paragraph below which addresses passengers' responsibility to follow other rules and regulations, is part of the contract. That paragraph, along with the Alcohol Policy, also below, govern what passengers may bring onboard. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JILLY WILLY Posted July 11, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2012 :confused: Hi, We are wine buffs and travelling December 2012 with another couple from Melbourne around New Zealand (13 nights). I see we can bring one bottle each onboard on departure day. We will certainly take a wine package on board to enjoy with dinner but like to enjoy a pre-dinner on the cabin balcony. Anyone tried buying in the NZ cities we visit and bringing back on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 11, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Welcome to Cruie Critic. The Princess rules say one bottle of wine per adult at embarkation. Most of the time, they do not enforce this limit. They did when I was on the Dawn Princess sailing from Sydney last September and October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pd52 Posted July 12, 2012 #12 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Will they allow us to bring on another bottle of wine pp on a hawaian cruise since it's still u.s. territory (and allowed to consume) ?? also, will we be allowed to bring on soda/water in hawaii ?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubofhockey Posted July 12, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Got on in Southampton on Sunday with three bottles in my carryon with no problem and easily could have brought on more. Unlike other lines, Princess is not known for strict enforcement of its alcohol policy. Passengers do their parts as well as you rarely see drinks aboard, unlike on other lines.

The only problem not at the embarkation port has been with the two Princess ships based in Australia. You can bring on soda and water in any port in any quantity.
