BVE wine question

[hockeygal54]

We're boarding Sunday on the Regal in FLL. Taking my niece to the BVE. S she able to bring a bottle of wine aboard also? She's NOT sailing, just doing the BVE pre sail.

Interesting question.

 

Since a BVE boarding pass is indistinguishable from a regular boarding pass, I don't see how she'd be stopped from doing so.

Pam from CA who is the guru of princess answers says YES she can but I'm looking for other opinions.

I've never brought any wine until Feb cruise on Royal and they checked u off against a pax list hence my question.

Yes, she can! My sister did (for us) when we did BVE. [emoji4]

What a great idea -- if it's a decent wine, the price savings will easily pay back the BVE cost!

[janetz]

Yes. :)

Our daughter and boyfriend did the BVE with us and each brought on a bottle of wine and left it with us.

I was told this could be done by the woman I booked their BVE with. :)

We were told that each of our guests could bring on a bottle of wine. However, the fact is, the BVE people boarded so early that Princess did not yet have staff there to man the "wine table". We stood at the table for several minutes wondering what to do and finally a person from the Port Authority told us that "they weren't here yet so just go on in". We were prepared to pay corkage on additional bottles that we were bringing on board but there was no one there to process the corkage fees for us. We did take a few of the bottles to the dining room during the cruise but the corkage charges were hit and miss in the dining room.

Yes, we have done it numerous times out of Fort Lauderdale!

Nice to know. It will then double the ship's allowance.

Hmm - $39x2 seems a lot more than $25x2 to me. They get a lunch and photo, though....

I think you were lucky to get an answer you liked. This poster received less helpful BVE information:

I never asked the question. It was told to me. ;)

The BVE guest upon boarding are treated just like any other guest. One bottle per person.

Security screeners have no idea if you are sailing or BVE. It's security that finds the wine and sends you to the "table". One bottle each and you fly through. Done it 4 times now.

As long as she is at least 21 years old, yes.

Actually, they do know as you have a big sticker on your clothing that says, "BVE." :) Regardless, even BVE passengers can each carry a bottle onboard.

In Ft. Lauderdale, you go through security screening, and the

liquor check before you check in, so you haven't received the

sticker yet.

 

However, at the liquor table, they have asked my cabin number

and marked off my free bottles -- so they can charge me if I

come back later with more.

 

There is no princess policy on BVE guests bring liquor.

No one has ever been able to post one.

 

It's just something so small that no one really cares.
