Wine Bottle Size

[mitchden]

Carnival allows one 750ml bottle of wine per person. Has anyone been allowed to bring a 1.5L bottle of wine per person?

[CENTEX CRUISER]

No, but pretty sure they would snatch it from you..

[Ken076]

No. ken

The larger bottle worked a few years ago but not now. A friend of mine tried it and they took it from her, held it for her,

 

750 ml is size they allow, carry it on, do not put in checked bags or they will take it from u

Not person but per couple. Just bring a pocket calculator for the math challenged port security agent.

They asked PER PERSON

[steph7021]

My husband and I each brought 2 750ml bottles on the Magic. They didn't say anything. We weren't right next to each other in line and they prbly assumed we were bringing for our spouse. They also didn't charge us the corkage in the MDR. It's a roll of the dice and randomly they care and randomly they don't. But the big bottle tips them off

They asked PER PERSON

:confused:

Which is why I posted per couple because per person is not allowed.

does not matter whether they are an Einstein or not - it is 750 per person - they will take a 1500 from you as Einstein you are not. Don't push it you will lose everytime

You assume the OP is part of a couple

 

They specifically asked per person.

 

Even if you are a "couple" there is no real reason for the larger bottle, you are just setting yourself up for a headache IMHO

I have seen and have had a 1500ml taken from us and told 750ml only - so I am talking from first hand experience. I know and you know what is written but it is the port authority that took it from me not Carnival

[sharecruises]

Not to mention...the OP asked PER PERSON

 

THE OP DID NOT SAY me and my wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/mother/dad/sister/ whatever....why would you assume this??

 

 

following some of this "advice" may mean a headache at the port JMO

 

as for the Magic...maybe some got by with 2 bottles wine, or maybe that Port is more lenient

 

I personally have found Port Everglades to be more strict than POM. Everglades seems to go thru the luggage/shake water bottles etc more

 

Even IF you are a couple, why not just carry on 2 bottles 750 ml?? Just go thru the check in together and one could carry both bottles, just put it down for the other

 

If you "hedge" your bets and take this "advice" you might find your big bottle going to the naughty room. I personally think all the wine/booze policies are too strict and I don't work for Carnival...however, I cruise a lot and I have seen/talked to people who "lost' their booze at the Port.

 

750 ml bottle goes right thru, one per person, over 21
