You can take on as much as you like as long as it is not in crates or barrels.:D

Enjoy Merry Christmas to you:)

Totally agree! On my BIL last Cruise it was plus spirits, mixers and beer. :D

He was so happy, because on his previous RCL they convescated everything except two bottles of wine.

Again have a wonderful cruise.

P and O will allow a reasonable amount on embarkation say 2/3 bottles and you can bring a couple of bottles every time you go ashore , rule of thumb seem to be don't abuse it .....

Thank you all for the information just nice to no that we can take wine on embarkation also when in port once again thank you and I am sure we will have a enjoyable cruise

 

:) ;) :D :cool:

Are you allowed to take alcohol on with you if going on a 2 night party cruise?

 

 

I love cruisin!

[fue-fue]

We are just back from Azura & took on a box of wine with no problems. No one even mentioned it.

 

find a box fits in fridge better than bottles.

I dont think they ever would mention it. I think the reasonable amount policy is in place more if large groups travel together, stag, hen parties etc and they try board with 20 crates of beer between them or they have complaints about noisy passengers partying in their cabin late at night and then they might restrict them bringing more alcohol on at the following port.

 

I think if you are a couple and bring a case of beer, a few bottles of wine and maybe some spirits you are going to be absolutely fine.

Just a little reminder that if you take drink onboard it is ONLY for drinking in the cabin, nowhere else.

You mean I cant sit at the bar with my bottle of Tesco Value Vodka, 2L bottle of Rola Cola and use my own plastic cups to drink it from while asking the bar man for some ice?!

wELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL you could try that....just to see what happens when the nice man in charge of the ship leaves you port side..and you have to work out how to get home.....tee hee.

you will still tip the bar man though wont you??????

I do sometimes wonder what people do who have been kick off ships....

Good idea about box of wine better than bottles thanks for that.

Ive only been aware of someone getting kicked off a ship I was on once and I think it was a fairly rare occurence and that was for stealing perfume from the onboard duty free shop.

Rumors seem to circulate every cruise about some one/family being thrown off. I have never seen it happen.

In the many cruises we have taken I have never heard the rumour before or after this particular event.

 

I do know they were asked to leave the ship, were served notice that they were not welcome on any future cruise within the portfolio and in exchange for them "going quietly" and making their own way home the matter was closed, there was no local Police involvement.

 

I also dont think you would see it happen, I imagine it is quite discreet, I dont think they are marched off in cruise ship handcuffs having tomatoes thrown at them, probably just escorted to the gangway.

 

You can often see people disembarking the ship when its in port on a day that isnt that start or finish of the cruise, these could be head office staff, entertainers, travel agents, journalists, passengers with an issue back home or many other reasons - they probably just blend in with them on the rare time it happens.

I would not pack any liquids in your main luggage they tend to be manhandled and piled on top of each other so if your case is at the bottom with wine in.... Just carry it in hand luggage. Better still if going from Barbados when you have embarked and you have your cruise card, wander down to the port terminal where there is a DF shop. You may need to check the timings for your arrival and the ships departure.

 

You do not pass through the terminal at the airport so no chance to buy when you get off.

On our last cruise, we met a few couples who either carried a bottle of "water" to add to their coke or kept going back to their cabin to top up. Personally, I couldn't be bothered.

I put one of the flat plastic bottles of gin you get at airport duty free shops in my main luggage, no problem. Bought tonic and lemons in first port. G&T on balcony pre dinner each evening for both of us. what more does one want? Ran dry after about 10 days, so bought half bottle in Port. Won't run dry next time, I now have 2 plastic airport bottles sitting in my cabinet at home waiting for our February Caribbean cruise.

 

As far as I know its only P&O who allow it. Reason enough for me to stick with P&O for foreseeable future :D

[richleeds]

As long as you have a decent hard side case, Tumi or Samsonite etc then even if your case is at the bottom of the cage/pile your bottles will stay intact.

[Ataraxia]

Took on one box of red, one of white and half a bottle of brandy. Nothing was said. Bought back unopened box of white and unopened brandy. We preferred to drink in the bars.

The're ok with Waitrose Vodka, but not Tesco's ( branded purchased from Tesco is ok )

[johncandt]

You cannot take bottles of wine or wine boxes in your hand luggage!!! in case anyone has not noticed all liquids other than 100ml bottles are confiscated,,either put a wine box in your case well packed or buy some when you arrive in Barbados or wherever you arrive !!!
