Alcohol Process as Carry-on - Carnival

[MoBateh]

Hi - Since we're allowed to bring a bottle of wine per person as a carry-on, does that also get scanned and flagged?

After your carry on gets scanned, you will be directed to a table to show it to the person inspecting carry on beverages.

 

Depending on their level of interest, they may just look at the bottle and send you on. I have had them just look at the bottle in the bag and wave me on, and I have had them take the foil off and inspect the cork.

 

I think it all depends on how busy they are, but I could be wrong.

Thank you. So if we show them two bottles (1 per person) even though there is 3, we should be OK.

No. They x-ray your bags and will know that you have 3 bottles. Unless you have 3 adults over 21, the additional will be confiscated.

Sometimes they look at my wine bottle and other times not.

In all my sailings, I've never had anyone inspect my carry on bottles of wine. They just x-ray it and wave me through the check point.

Not really in lieu of wine, champagne IS wine. Enjoy

Lol, Thanks for answering my now "obvious to me" question

We sailed Spring Break out of Galveston and my backpack with two bottles of wine was xrayed. Then I was sent over to another security table who checked to make sure the bottles hadn't been refilled.

 

I was told they are a little more vigilant during Spring Break.

 

Funny thing is I can't recall being escorted over to the secondary table or anybody telling the second screener what to look for. It was far enough from the xray machine I guess I could have just kept walking.

Since DW and I don't drink, would we be allowed 2 bottles of sparkling grape juice?

The only time my wine was ever inspected was when my 21 year old son had one in his carry on. They let mine through and asked to see his bottle. They did not card him, probably just wanted to check that he was not carrying the hard stuff.

Not necessarily. You are allowed one bottle of wine or champagne per person, but it does say that all non-alcoholic beverages must be in cans or cartons.

 

While the distinction may be nonsensical, I have seen too many scanners adhere to the letter of the law to make any assumptions...

Probably not... and probably not because of how they are packaged; I'm not much of a drinker either, but I do know the smuggle game is real, and I assume it would be easier to smuggle alcohol on that way.

 

I'd love to have sparkling grape juice though. yum!

My wife doesn't drink, but she really likes the sparkling grape juice. The bottles look just like a wine bottle and we've always were able to get them on board.

I could always tell them it's unfermented wine [emoji3]

I like that....

I always carry on my two allowed bottle (for DH and I) and I have never had the bottles checked.
