Wine In Checked Luggage or Carry On?

[txgolfergrl]

Taking wine on board for the first time (tomorrow! YEA!!). Do I put it in my carry on or in checked luggage? Thanks!

Either way is acceptable to the cruise line, but I find it more convenient to carry on. I don't have to worry about breakage, and potential delays in bag delivery when they scan and see bottles in the checked bag.

The 'breakage' and potential delay is exactly why I was thinking carry on was better. OK, cool. Thanks!

Definitely carry on. Eliminates any possibility of annoyance.

This is NO LONGER ALLOWED.

RCI's new policy clearly states it MUST be in your carry-on ONLY. If they find it in your Checked Luggage, you will be called to the Naughty Room, and it will be confiscated.

 

Hope This Helps.

Please post a link to this new policy.

Below is the link to the "Bringing wine on board" rule. No where does it state that it has to be carry on only. Where are you getting this information ?

I've done both but it is meant to be in your carry on

Never had an issue if it were in my checked bags but could go naughty room till they check it

I've carried on two and checked two for the same cruise. You get called down to the naughty room though to prove that the bottles are wine, not liquor.

Bubble wrapped the bottles and put them in suitcase. No problem. Carrying them on gets a bit heavy. If the wine is expensive I would put them in my carry-on.

We absolutely had to do the "walk of shame" to the "naughty room" when we had wine in our checked bags just after they began letting people bring it on board on a Thanksgiving cruise two years ago. They returned it to us because the policy was so new. I don't know if the policy has changed since then, but I would recommend bringing it in your carry-on.

What is this "naughty room" people keep talking about. We are new to RC so the lingo is new as well.

Usually an area on deck 1 (varies by ship) where the security people gather the "suspicious" luggage. They ask you to come down and open your bag so they can inspect the suspect items.

I always put mine in the carry on bags. A friend of ours had her poorly packed bottle of red break in her case- huge distress and even huger laundry costs.
