Carry on hooch?

[Ciscobelle]

Hi, going on our very first cruise with P&O in the new year.

I have checked the rules and they say we may carry on board a small amount of alcohol for cabin consumption.

 

Can anyone tell me what is a standard small amount, would it be one bottle each?

 

I don't want to do anything naughty on my first ever cruise.

 

Thank you

You can be a lot naughtier than that. Remember that you can buy gin etc for about £22 a bottle, delivered to your cabin. Wine is a better bet, as the on board price is £13.00 upward. Some people take a wine box or a half dozen bottles. Perhaps better to wait untill a good port.

Can you fit a box of wine in the cabin fridge? Never tried but now curious.

We have never tried but I know people who have.

Yes you can, and we always do. 3 litre white wine box in the fridge, 3 litre red wine box in a cupboard close by. Ideal for sun-downers on the balcony when on a summer cruise.

On my cruise in January I took on two wine boxes, a litre of Bombay Sapphire and 12 tonics. In New Zealand I brought on another box of wine! Mind you this was on a world cruise, I'd probably only take on a bottle (or two) of wine for a fortnight! And, in case you're asking, yes I did drink the lot and I helped sink the wine we won in the quizzes too :)

What about a barrel of John Smiths - would that go in the bathroom?

Stick the missus in the bathroom and use her side of the bed for the barrel!!

You would not get it on as hand luggage.... To big for the scanners. :)

So would it be reasonable to bring on board a 6 pack of beer each ?

Never been on a cruiseline where this is allowed before so don't want to fall foul of the rules!

Cheers;)

Not a problem at all.
