Tallyfins Posted February 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've been on many Carnival cruises and understand their liquor policy when in ports. Does the same apply for beer purchased in port? I'd like to buy a local 6-pack while in port and enjoy it BEFORE I get back home :) Thanks in advance, TF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrygirlcruiser1234 Posted February 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Sorry but they wont let you. they will take it when you get back on the ship and store it for you until debark day. My DH wanted to do the same but he had to wait until we got home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted February 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2016 You can enjoy the beer while in the port on land. You cannot bring it onto the ship to enjoy there before arriving at your home port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonCruiser Posted February 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Never had an issues bringing beer back on the ship. Not sure why they don't seem to care,but they never bated an eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallyfins Posted February 23, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Ok thanks. Sounds like its how busy security is when you get back on. I'll probably just have a few more beers in port :) Thanks, TF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted February 24, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I have seen numerous times passengers walk past the security officer without presenting the liquor or beer purchased while ashore. Sometimes the security officer will ask to see what you have in your bag. It's basically the luck of the draw. On my January 2016 sailing of Holland America's Eurodam my wife volunteered to have my bottle of rum held until the end of our cruise. The bottle was returned to me on Saturday afternoon while we were in Key West, Florida, the day before we returned to Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not advocating this at all, but you certainly could buy a cheap bottle of booze to go with your beer, have the beer in the bottom of your bag, cheap booze on top, and only turn in the cheap booze at the table. Again, not advocating, but also not saying this hasn't worked for me countless times in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
