Bringing Beer On Board from Shore Visits?

[etoilefj]

Hi - I'm just wondering if it's going to be a huge hassle if I buy beers at our various stops in Alaska? I know that I can't have it in my stateroom but is there any issue with "checking" it until the cruise is over? Has anyone does anything like this? My husband and I are huge craft beer nerds and I don't want to miss a chance to get some beers I can't find at home.

Thanks!

We've brought beer back onboard with us in about 25 different ports now. No one has ever said a word about it.

Princess randomly sets up an alcohol confiscation table at the gangway at ports of call.

 

Like I said randomly. So don't be upset if they take your alcohol. :)

If they take it, they will hold it until the last night of the cruise.

Yes, they will hold it till the end of the cruise!

I am not sure if that applies to beer.

Be sure you stay within the 24 cans/person Canadian resident limit for Canadian customs when you return home.

Correct, usually disposed of.

my brother brought back wine and and a few bottles of beer from several ports. nobody said anything about it.

While beer is technically against the rules (no alcohol except the 1 bottle of wine or champagne) I have never known them to make an issue of it.

I to like to pick up a six-pack from visited ports, especially if they are in different countries. Last cruise, June-14, they had set up a table and were reviewing liqueur purchases right after the x-ray machine, We just picked the most crowded gangway and than just walked past the table with the boarding masses and didn't have a problem. I'm sure our room attendant enjoyed the assortment of beers left in our cabin on our departure.

That would not work on an RCCL cruise.

 

Besides the security person who is looking at the x-ray screen for dangerous items, there is another person looking at another x-ray screen and this person is dedicated to looking for alcohol purchases (wine, spirits, beer).

On our recent Panama Canal transit, I brought usually under 6 beers, aboard from everywhere we stopped. Really like the Bashia from Aruba. I went back and got another 6 pack after they said nothing about the first ones.

Disposed of usually means that the crew is thanking you silently. We have seen beer taking from people on every cruise we have been on.

In Asia the ship ran out of Tiger beer on the ship, we found some off, and we were not allow to keep it. Sat at the Dock and drank two.

Security does not give anything confiscated away.

A crew member would loose their job(s).

Thanks for all the responses! As long as I get it back at the end of the cruise for at home consumption I will be a happy nerd :rolleyes:
