Bringing alcohol on board update please

[PegasusGM]

We drink non-alcohol wine. It irks me to pay $25-35 for an $8 bottle of wine. I hope to bring some on board for consumption in our cabin.

Which irks you the most, the price or the taste? ;p

That stuff is like battery acid to me, I'd rather not drink.

Yeah, kind of the way I feel about N/A beer. Why bother?

We just returned from a 7 day Marina cruise. We brought 5 bottles of wine and 1 bottle of bourbon in our small roll on suitcase. There was no discussion at check in.

 

We took 4 nice bottles of wine to dinner and paid for corkage. The last bottle of wine and the bourbon we consumed in the state room. There was quite a bit of bourbon left, so that got packed up and shipped home in the checked luggage, and the bottle did not break.

They typically carry Ginger Ale.

You may request other, more specific soft drinks through your Travel Agent..

Thanks both for the replies.

I'll send an email to the TA. Being an American line, I could really flummox them and ask for Irn Bru too!!

(Scottish soft drink-tag line is "Made in Scotland from girders")

Yes, they don't differentiate.

[bisabella]

Yes, they don't differentiate.

 

 

So if you bring a 1.5 liter on board, will they store it over a few nights if it isn't consumed on 1 or 2 nights?

Yes, they will store it and they will retrieve it for you for dinner on following evenings regardless of which restaurant you dine in.

It's really no problem, and the N/A wine is good if you buy a good one.
