gismo1554 Posted June 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2016 So someone posted on a thread on here saying that the alcohol policy change had been changed back to what it was and although I asked for clarity I didn't get it so thought I would start a thread. I read the alcohol policy above and this states as I thought that no hard liquor can be taken onboard as of last September. Is this the case or is this not the case?

moki'smommy Posted June 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Before I believed it, I'd demand a dated statement from DCL. I've tried a couple of searches and I can't find anything that indicates there has been a change to the policy. Whether the written policy is being enforced at the port is perhaps a different issue. But if a guest brings something that is not permitted, it will be confiscated and held at the terminal until their return. Can you bring something and not have it "caught?" Certainly. But that's not a policy change. It is easy to find the "old" policy on line--perhaps that is where the confusion is coming from.

I think you misunderstood in that other thread. For someone who hasn't sailed since 2013, they have "put back" or reduced the amount of alcohol you can bring. It may not have been worded the best but I think that person was trying to let them know that there was a change to the alcohol policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't 100% sure whether it meant reduced or they had reinstated the old policy which was what confused me! I had assumed the policy hadn't been rescinded was but was living in hope :D Thanks both Edited June 17, 2016 by gismo1554 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBJ63 Posted June 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I just got off the Wonder yesterday and there were loads of people picking up their liquor at the port as they left the ship. I think it is the same as printed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefightermediclasvegas Posted June 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Are you allowed to bring bottle beer onboard or does it have to be cans? I love Carib beer and would like to purchase some to drink after stopping at our first stop.

Shmoo here Posted June 22, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Are you allowed to bring bottle beer onboard or does it have to be cans? I love Carib beer and would like to purchase some to drink after stopping at our first stop. It can be in whatever container you wish. The requirements for bring beer onboard are: for each person 21 and over - 6 beers, with a maximum size of 12 oz for each one. As long as you bring only 6, and they are no larger than 12 oz each, you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficerKrupke Posted June 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2016 FWIW, Carib also comes in cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jestocost Posted June 22, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2016 FWIW, Carib also comes in cans. And cans are significantly lighter for you to carry back and from a functional perspective are superior to bottles in most respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where your first stop is, but if you are going to be in St. Thomas and don't mind walking a bit, there's a gas station/deli/convenience store up Rumer Rd. toward K-Mart that has slightly better prices than the liquor stores in Havensight Mall. I enjoyed the walk, to be honest. It was nice to get away from most of the cruise ship denizens and walk where mostly locals walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makiramarlena Posted July 8, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It is the case. if you bring aboard hard liquor they are supposed to confiscate it. Will they actually do it? Don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJake1 Posted July 14, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'm confused. In the DCL embarkation booklet, it says you can bring the alcohol (six pack or 2 wines) as long as its packed in your checked luggage. It goes on to say that any alcohol brought on board in checked luggage will be confiscated and returned at the end of your cruise. So what's the point of bringing any on if they're going to hold it and not allow you to drink it? Can someone please 'splain it to me? Thanks.

So what's the point of bringing any on if they're going to hold it and not allow you to drink it? Can someone please 'splain it to me? Thanks. Here is the policy. Bolding is mine. Prohibited Items – Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. Are Guests allowed to bring alcoholic beverages on board the ship? A.

It shouldn't say checked luggage it should say if its packed in your carry on luggage. Anything brought in in checked is confiscated but if you carry it in your carry on luggage then they don't take it. I'm thinking this must be a typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
