B2B and purchased liquor

[ernieb]

We will be on B2Bs out of FLL in Sept and Oct. The first segment stops in St. Thomas 3 days before the turn around. I'm wondering if I purchase liquor in St. Thomas on the first segment will I receive it at the end of that segment or will I not get it till the end of the second segment. We do not change cabins, but we do have 2 different booking numbers.

 

TIA

That worked for me in the past. But that was when Princess issued separate key cards for each segment. Now they issue only one and it has a date range on it that covers all segments. I don't know if that will affect when you receive your liquor or not. Maybe someone with recent experience will post and let us know what the current practice is.

The Princess policy is to give it to you at the end (same for booze purchased in their duty free shop). However, they don't always follow their rules.

We always get our duty free after the first leg

Are you talking about the items taken when reboarding the ship at a port?

 

That is what the OP is asking about.

We did a B2B in February and we received our liquor (from St Thomas) at the end of the first leg. We just stored them under the bed

It appears like it might work. However, I don't expect the liquor to still be around at the end of the second leg.

We were on another cruise line on a B2B2B and purchased some wine at a port on the first segment.

 

Although I had doubts we would ever see it again, it did appear in our cabin on the last afternoon of the last segment.
